Exceptional Carpet Care, Inc.Jim and his team cut my cost by about 50% by not replacing the drywall but restoring what I had (with multiple layers of wallpaper) to make it paint ready. It's now been painted and looks great.
The movers executed a multi-step move professionally, punctually, and very quickly. They moved a baby grand from Apple Valley to a restorer in Eyota, then picked up an upright in Rochester and delivered it to Saint Paul in the same trip. We were all surprised at how quickly it went, and...
The security system is working, but the rest is not. They also did little things during the isntallation, such as putting a plug near water that I now have to have moved, just to get the job done. The guys were personable, but the work was not good. After they left I was very frustrated...
Wonderful! I tried to do the painting on my own which turned out to be a mess! I called for help and they came the next day! They helped pick out a better paint color for the bathroom than what I had used! The rest I asked questions on to see if they new what was wrong! My softener ...
Blew a Valve seal on my Porsche. They fixed it, but I noticed an oil leak after the repair. I mentioned it when I brought it in for another repair. To their credit, they owned up to the leak, and redid the head gasket as a warranty item. What I didn't like, though was that they told me I...

"1. Did not bring anything to cover shozes or old/wet water heater. Requested the customer to provide towels or something to cover the bottom of old water heater, mentioning the carpet will be dirty without it. 2. Had difficuties to ignite the starter/new water heater. Broke a gas nozzle part of the ignite by drilling. Even broken, put the part into the water heater. Somehow, the starter worked. 3.

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
