"The shower replacement was measured by the salesman, who measured the shower dimensions inside the old fiberglass shower by instruction from the owner. After materials were ordered and the old shower removed. The shower base was too short by 7 inches and too narrow by 1 1/2 inches. I asked the owner to requote with a larger shower base. This would have added an additional $5000 to the project. The shower has a seat in it. The additional 7 inches in length would have given us more manuverability. Pros: The installer was great, 5 stars. The owner wrote off $350 extra work to remove a soffett to make the shower taller. Cons: The salesman promised a larger shower, it wasn't. We ordered brushed nickel fixtures and got chrome. The shower was smaller than it could have been. Owner and salesman 2 stars. I would have liked the option to remove the old shower and then do the measurements. The shower turned out nice, but we were dissappointed with the size."

"These guys really saved me when I listed my house for sale and mold was found in the attic upon inspection. This was a total shock to us. We only had a week to close and we were worried this would void our agreement. We called DRI and the team came out immediately to help. They were professional, safe, and took great care of my home. They did a thorough inspection of the attic and the rest of the home. They explained every step of the process in terms that I could understand. They used lots of safety equipment including filters for the rest of the house. They quickly treated the mold and took many pictures. They also measured the temperature and humidity in the attic. Ultimately we sold the house, knowing very well that the mold was properly professionally treated for the next owner. I highly highly highly recommend you look in your attic for any discoloration and call DRI if you have any suspicion of mold. I hope I don’t need them again, but if I do have any home emergencies, DRI will be my first phone call."

MJM Restoration bring together in our team a combined 50 year tradition of applied, proven property restoration services that have resulted in multiple successfully completed projects. The MJM team is highly experienced in the technical displines necessary for performing the complicated tasks required to provide property restoration services. Our professional staff includes estimators, projects managers, skilled construction tradesmen and certified technicians. MJM completes projects in a most responsive and cost effective manner by paying attention to schedules, goals and budgets. Communication between MJM and it's clients is our #1 prioity. We emphasize on the need to asist our clients in understanding every aspect of their projects by explaining the technical procedures and scope of work task.
"Don’t make the same mistake I did—look for another contractor. I found MJM Restoration on Angie’s List based on good reviews, but they were misleading. I had termite damage on the front wall of my home requiring minimally drywall repair, and including a large picture window that needed replacing. Initially, communication was great, but it quickly declined. The project, which started around the Fourth of July, was plagued by poor communication. I shared my contact information for texts and emails, as I work during the day, and can’t always pick up the phone. Despite that, promises to call and schedule were frequently broken, and I often waited for appointments that were canceled or moved. Recently, one of these cancellations was for illness, which I understood. However, after confirming a visit for the same time tomorrow (8:30 AM), still no one showed the next morning. I reached out was told they were showing up at around 10am. My inquiry about the delay, and saying I could make 10am work though, received a dismissive “K.” (Included pictures) They showed up at 10:30 AM without any apology or even acknowledgement of the tardiness. This attitude was consistent throughout the project. The job turned out being smaller than anticipated. The window framing needed only 6 inches replaced on two corners, rather than a major rebuild. The drywall was to be removed and replaced 1 ft around the window, installation installed, but only needed two sections around the window replaced, and only a small piece of installation was required. When I asked if the bill would be adjusted since less work was needed, I was told the subcontractors charge by the day, regardless of hours worked, but I would think you’d have them do the full job/replacement then since you’re paying for it anyway. It seemed odd to pay them the same for 2 hours as for 8, but if that’s their policy, fine. They did give me a $200 material credit, which although I appreciated, it only amounted to a 4% discount on the total bill. All these would have been forgiven if the job turned out great but it didn’t. I will say the custom Anderson window is beautiful and the team that installed was stellar. They were very professional, explained everything they did, and were speedy. A different subcontractor came in to finish up the wall. The baseboards as you can see in the pictures had a huge gap once they were replaced. There was no gaps, cracking or separation of the baseboards prior to this. Recently had the hardwood floors done, along with baseboards/shoe molding replaced, so I know this. I brought this to their attention after day one, and it was told it would be fixed the next day. Their fix was to fill it with caulk and paint it, poorly I might add; lines not clean, dipping in the caulk as you can see. I get many baseboards have some gaps and need to be caulked but this gap was significant. Seeing as it wasn’t there before, and it directly in front of where they replaced the drywall, I am to assume it’s from the drywall installation. Additionally, there was also paint left on the light switch cover, tape and little plastic piece left stuck to the wall, and floor dusty when he left. It just seemed rushed, and not a professional job. When I inquired about this gap and its “remedy”, I was told it’s common practice. I asked for someone to come look at since it was severe. Someone did, I was told it’s the 2X4’s and the wall isn’t straight so they can’t fix the gap. They did offered to have the same sub back to clean up the lines and fill in the dips, after my prior experiences, I declined. Overall, I was disappointed with the professionalism and quality of work. The rushed finish and unresolved issues reflect poorly on the business quality. I expected better attention to detail and professionalism, and I won’t be using their services again, and would urge you to look elsewhere."

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.
The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
