"It went amazing. I have had Andy do previous work through our home owners insurance. We now call him any time we have any plumbing problem. He is VERY good. He will take your idea and offer suggestions on how to make it better i.e. when we called him on our bathroom remodel. He is very polite, loves dogs (which is a plus for us) and has the most fair prices we have come across. I suggest him to all my friends.

"Star provided the windows, flooring, and stone/tile for our backsplashes and around our fireplace for our new home we had built in 2018. The process selecting the materials was pretty smooth, except they had a pretty small selection for some items. The problems started when they installed our LVP flooring. There were pieces cut too short that eventually moved, exposing the subfloor song the baseboards. It took Star three visits to fix this in our entry way. Now, the same thing has started in our kitchen. Also, they sold us MI windows that have been nothing but problematic. It took them six visits trying to fix the windows before they and the builder decided to replace two of them with casement windows. Now, three years later, those windows are leaking and Star simply told me to pound sand and that I would have to deal with MI on my own. Also, after the LVP flooring was installed the floor started popping when we walk across the living room. As part of the installation, they were supposed to sand down raised areas of the subfloor caused by rain. I don't know if that somehow caused the popping, the weight of the flooring, or what it may have been, but simply reinforcing the subfloor with additional screws would have likely prevented it. Now there isn't an affordable way to fix the popping without pulling up the expensive LVP flooring and replacing it. Thanks, Star. I will never step foot in Star Lumber again. Through example, they have shown time and time again that they don't take care of their customers."

2003 years of experience

Texturite is a company that has been in business since 2003 and continues to serve the greater Wichita area by providing many home remodel services at an affordable price. Texturite specializes in the removal of outdated “popcorn” ceilings which homeowners have been unsatisfied with for years. Popcorn, or as the industry calls it “acoustic”, ceilings were first used in the early 60's and quickly became popular as a low cost way to hide imperfections, which drywall ceilings are bound to have, while having a new look which was appreciated at the time. Unfortunately, popcorn ceilings, as with virtually all home décor from the 60’s, are not meeting the demands of current homeowners and are seen as being outdated and lacking the beauty which homeowners desire. Contrary to this fact, popcorn ceilings are still being used in construction today, predominantly in “starter” homes, for the same reasons that they were used some 65+ years ago. One major problem with these ceilings is that they are typically one of the dirtiest surfaces within one’s home; they collect cobwebs, dust, and water stains and are unable to be cleaned without flaking off. Another major flaw is that when these ceilings become damaged and need to be patched, it is impossible to reapply a texture which will match the rest of the ceiling. Texturite specializes in the removal and transformation of outdated and damaged popcorn ceilings into a new Tuscany style handmade ceiling. Our ceilings are set apart from all other competitors because Texturite is the only company which creates handmade ceilings, not sprayed on by a machine, giving them the character, beauty, and individuality which modern homeowners desire. We also create low profile, modern finishes and textures on existing walls, even over wallpaper. As with every product we offer, these wall finishes and textures are also completely handmade, never created by machines. No need to remove your old paper, we guarantee. These finishes can be any color or colors to match your new or existing decor. Along with ceilings and walls, Texturite is also capable of doing numerous other tasks relating to the updating and upgrading of one’s home such as installation or removal of can lights and other lighting fixtures, and the removal or installation of walls, depending on each individual’s needs. See our website at www.texturite.com or call (316)393-0836 for a free estimate.

"I really can't say enough about this whole team/company. They were responsive, able to react quickly to changes (requests from me as well as a few obstacles that the job presented). The whole team was friendly and showed on time, did the work quickly, efficiently and professionally. For the record - work completed was popcorn ceiling texture removed, new LED lighting installed, replaced old can lights with LED lighting. The crew event sent me a picture of an old (very old) smoke detector, stating they would change them all out for new ones and just charge me for the smoke detectors. I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and the work the whole crew at Texturite completed."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.

Yes, a garage apartment is generally considered a valuable asset as long as the new structure has been legally built. It's important to weigh the cost to build a garage with an apartment against the cost to convert a garage to living space if you already have a garage.

Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room. Larger in-law suites built in accessory dwelling units separate from your main structure can feature multiple bedrooms, dining rooms, and entertainment rooms in addition to the necessities.
