"I can’t recommend Frank at Curtis Construction LLC highly enough. As an out-of-state homeowner, I needed to coordinate a long list of repairs remotely to get a property listed quickly. Frank made time to meet with me during a brief trip to Central Maine, then seamlessly took over once I returned home. He scheduled everything immediately, rebuilt a deck, repaired entry stairs, and tackled a range of other items with speed and precision. His communication was clear, his follow-through impeccable, and his professionalism gave me total peace of mind. Thanks to Frank’s efficiency and quality work, the home was market-ready in no time and sold quickly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with—even from a distance—Curtis Construction is the one to call."

"I signed a contract on the first week of June to have PIC Home ?Pros? remodel 3 bathrooms. They stayed for a week in the middle of September, and stopped coming, leaving a vanity in one bathroom, and a shower door in another bathroom completely uninstalled. On the last day here, I was told shower door still has not been manufactured yet, but would take a couple of weeks. They told me that it would cost $150 to have them come back to finish installation, even though contract was for them to complete the work. They ignored my emails to them, so after waiting for 3 weeks and receiving response to my email, I called them, and was told that the shower door is not ready, and even though it?s been 4 months since it was supposed to be ordered, there is still no ETA. I asked that they come back to install the vanity, since we still have no sink in one bathroom. I was told that would cost another $650 to come back and install it. They will work until they are paid in full, then abandon you. "

"We were and are still thrilled with the project completed by Archadeck. There was a slight problem with settling the first year, and TJ replaced more than needed on a schedule that fit with us. Our project consisted of bringing in material to level a slope, installing over 800sf of patio pavers, and replacing a multi-level deck with a privacy wall. I would highly recommend Archadeck."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over old laminate if you want to save time and money. The most important part of this project is cleaning the existing countertop thoroughly. Then, you will need to sand the surface and apply contact cement, after which you can install the new laminate layer on top. Other options for improving your existing laminate countertops include painting them or installing an epoxy counter on top.
There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
Granite countertops must be sealed every 12 to 18 months, though some sealants can last for five to 10 years. You can check whether your granite countertops need sealing by applying a drop of water in an inconspicuous area and waiting 15 minutes to see if the water darkens the countertop. If it does, the countertop needs sealing; if not, you can hold off on resealing for now.
Most homebuyers value standard counter height (34–36 inches) over bar height (40–42 inches).
Epoxy countertops can crack, but this typically only occurs under specific conditions. If the epoxy was improperly mixed or applied to a poorly prepared surface, it may have weak spots. It can also degrade after lengthy exposure to direct sunlight. Finally, a heavy blow can crack epoxy, so be careful when holding weighty objects, like cast iron pans, above these countertops.
