"James did an amazing job on our newly remodeled kitchen floors. He worked closely with our Carpenter and electrician to complete our new heated floor installation which was quite challenging given the fact that our old house has no straight floors or walls!! He completely removed all of the layers of old flooring, and the subfloor, installed new subfloor, leveled, and installed the new heated floor and tile. We love how much attention he pays to the details to ensure we are happy with the job. Also we love that he shows up on time and in a good mood. We've had other contractors in the past show up late, with bad attitudes, and constantly complaining -- the type of people you wouldn't trust alone in your house. We love using Star Choice because we can trust them!! No better contractor to hire!"

"The entire process went very well. I called Rodney at 9am and he was able to show up at the home just before 10:30am to do an estimate. His pricing was reasonable and they were able to haul everything away same day. It was efficient and smooth. Would definitely recommend and use them for future needs."

"I am a senior with a background in construction.  After reviewing many contractors and speaking with some of them, I immediately knew I hit the jackpot when I spoke to Danny.
 
1.  He knew exactly what I needed and wanted done when I first spoke to him.  This entailed the replacement, repair, and installation of the items listed above with attention to quality in materials, prevention of future problems, a fair price, and a commitment to starting and showing up once the job was initiated.  Danny exceeded every expectation in these regards!
2.  I silently knew in advance manufacturers, quality and cost of exterior doors (including the french door), storm doors, door locks and deadbolts, leak-proof door sills for 6 inch exterior walls and a leak-proof barrier on the bottom of the door frames.  Without knowing of my preferences, Danny suggested the identical manufacturers and materials I had in mind.  At this juncture, we met and I hired Danny to perform the work.
3.  I am beyond pleased with the outcome of Danny's effort on this project.  As an example of his integrity, he asked me to trust him in the design and installation of an exterior octagonal window in a bathroom.  My wife and I were literally blown away with a handcrafted symmetrical waterproof tunnel and inside wall frame he created - more akin to an artistic piece than a window.
4. Inside work was always minimally invasive using tarps and soft shoes rather than work boots.  Outside and inside cleanup at the end of each work day was respectfully performed leaving no mess.
I would recommend Danny to anyone requiring any kind of interior or exterior installation, modification, or repair as I have seen firsthand examples of his experience, skills, and personal and business ethics.  In fact, Danny is presently working on costs to replace our roof."

"These guys were great. Very responsive and work was beautiful. I had new carpet installed, ceiling repair and painted, walls painted, exterior power washed, deck repaired and painted plus a few other odds and ends. I was very happy and will be keeping them on my phone for any further projects."

"First, the painters moved all of the furniture my wife and I couldn't move, removed the venetian blinds, and covered the carpets, kitchen cabinets, and counter tops with canvas or plastic sheeting.
The painters then spackled, sanded, and caulked  all of the nick, cracks, nail pops, and dings in the walls and ceiling. They also caulked all cracks between the baseboards and the walls, and between the crown molding, walls and ceiling. The ceiling was then painted with two coats of ceiling white, the walls with two coats of satin wall paint, and the trim with two coats of semi gloss white. The painters were prompt, pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. Each day before the left, the painters cleaned  the areas that they were painting so my wife and I could use the kitchen and family rooms. The finished work was beautiful.
My wife and I have used Timothy's Home Improvements in the past and I am sure we will use them again.  We are very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Timothy's Home Improvements, to anyone who needs a quality and trustworthy contractor.

"Earl and Robert went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction, not only making my back porch safe but attractive as well. My porch was a mess. The wood was rotted in some places, the paint was chipped and it was a real eyesore and hazard. They arrived on the day promised and got to work as expected. The communication was good and any issues that came up were addressed immediately. I never felt left out of the process and Earl even went over the color palate with me and suggested ones based on the color of my house. To my surprise, he added some design elements that made the porch even more attractive than I expected, yet didn't dent my wallet. Truly, a consummate professional, Earl and Robert made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend them again and again.

"Tony came on time to our first meeting and gave me a verbal estimate and next day submitted a written one. He came to perform the job on time, with three more workers who were experienced and very thorough. I came mid afternoon and they were already in the finishing touches. Their work was excellent, the holes in the walls had been repaired, the walls were painted, a couple of ceilings had been painted. They were fast, experienced and cleaned up after they were done. I would hire them again as well as recommend them to my friends. I would rate them with an A+"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

The cost to repair a ceiling after a water leak can vary, with averages ranging from $419 to $1,359, or $45 to $55 per square foot. Smaller patches may cost around $150. The final price depends on the size of the affected area and the extent of the damage. Remember that you will also need to repair the source of the leak, such as roof damage or a plumbing issue, which can cost an additional $200 to $1,550. Depending on the situation, you might also face costs for repainting or repairing floors. For an accurate estimate, it is best to get a quote from a professional.

On average, repairing a ceiling costs anywhere from $450 to $1,750. However, there are many variables that can impact the price of this project. For example, the type of ceiling material, type and extent of the damage, and local labor rates all affect your costs. Holes and cracks are less expensive to fix, while structural issues and water damage are pricier problems.

Popcorn ceilings have fallen out of popularity for several reasons, though opinions on them can vary. The primary drawbacks include an outdated appearance, difficulty with cleaning and maintenance, and potential health risks, as ceilings installed before the 1990s may contain asbestos. As design trends have shifted toward sleeker, more modern finishes, many homeowners now prefer smooth ceilings for their clean look and easier upkeep. However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as excellent acoustic properties for noise reduction and the ability to hide imperfections. Some also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective solution. Ultimately, whether they are "bad" depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and aesthetic goals.

However, popcorn ceilings do offer some benefits, such as acoustic dampening and the ability to hide imperfections. Some people also appreciate their retro charm or find them to be a cost-effective option. Ultimately, whether a popcorn ceiling is 'bad' depends on personal preference, safety concerns, and the overall aesthetic of the home.
