"Hal and I have been working together on several interior and exterior projects over the past three or four years. The most recent project was the completion of the backyard fencing, including a gate. As always, Hal expertly managed the project. The quality of his work is always high. The fence is gorgeous with Hal's sense of artistry clearly evident. I find that Hal is extraordinarily conscientious and a very effective communicator. He and his team are reliable, and Hal actively supervises the team to ensure that the work meets his high standards. Hal and his team's work is completed quickly and timely, and the work site is always neat and clean. Hal and his team are very careful to respect my neighbors' property during the tear down and construction phases and to keep my dogs' needs in mind (they always installed temporary fences over night so that the dogs could run during the evening). It is hard for me to find words to describe the skill and artistry that Hal brings to fencing project. I recommend referring to his website at www.gardenstructuresandmore.com. I highly recommend Hal and Garden Structures and More for backyard fencing projects. Hal listens to me and designs structures that match my tastes. He provides me with guidance and suggestions that are truly helpful. I don't spend any time managing Hal's projects or checking his work as I know that Hal has such high standards for his work. Hal is very good at communicating with me. I always know the status of a project because Hal has always contacted me before I can even thing about calling him. In the end, Hal makes it really easy for me to get projects completed, which is something that I value in a contractor. As an aside, Hal's skills and reliability extend to interior projects. Hal has built two stair cases, refinished bathroom walls and ceiling, and completed other projects for me. Hal is very knowledgeable, reliable, and skilled about interior projects. Again, I highly recommend Hal and Garden Structures and More. "

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts
Properly maintained, resurfacing typically lasts 5-10 years. Factors like surface usage and exposure to chemicals affect longevity.
Epoxy helps protect your garage floor from moisture, staining, and cracks over time. Concrete itself is typically porous, and epoxy fills those tiny holes and creates a smooth finish. Installing garage floor epoxy may also extend the life span of your garage to upwards of 20 years, as it strengthens the concrete and helps prevent water from seeping through it.
Reglazing a bathtub can last anywhere from 3 to 15 years. With a professional application, a reglazed surface can be as durable as a new tub and should last 10 to 15 years without issues like cracking or peeling. To maximize its lifespan, clean the tub regularly and avoid using abrasive cleaners. The longevity of the reglazing can be shorter if the tub was significantly damaged before the process or if the application occurred in cold or humid weather conditions.
There are a few ways to check whether your tub is fiberglass or acrylic. If your tub is a color other than white, then your tub is likely acrylic (as fiberglass tubs are usually white). Check to see if there is discoloration on the bottom of the tub, because if it’s yellowed, then you can be fairly sure it’s fiberglass.
Also, fiberglass tubs have thinner edges and are cool to the touch. Acrylic, on the other hand, is either room temperature or warm to the touch.
A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
