"Shawn and his team are very easy to work with. They are always on an even keel no matter what issues may arise. They manage a project seamlessly, and easily adjust where necessary. They leave the project clean every day, as they would leave their own home. Their communication between the client and others involved in the project is second to none. I will happily continue to refer CoCara Remodeling."
"We have worked with GA Chott since 1999, finishing our basement, remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms, and smaller projects recently. Darryll and Angie are a pleasure to work with. The workers show up on time, are very courteous, and clean up at the end of the day. The work is done with meticulous detail and pride of their work. Our most recent project was repairing our ceiling, painting, installing a new shower head, and exhaust fan in the master bath. They also installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to bring our home up to code. We are always very happy with the work and enjoy having them in our home. We feel their pricing is fair and would definitely call them for anything we need in the future."
"We had a bathroom renovation on the first floor completed by Kimberlin Construction. We were quite happy with the process of working with the owner, Gary, and his team from start to finish. They were reliable, professional and friendly. Gary was honest and fair in pricing. The work required making sure our heated floors did not get damaged, and Gary and his team were creative in developing a solution to protect our floors. The team was efficient in completing high-quality work."
"I would highly recommend Dana King Design Build Remodeling for a remodeling project. We used them for both a master bathroom and a master bedroom remodel. Both rooms turned out absolutely gorgeous. I actually heard about Dana King Design Build Remodeling through a direct mail ad and decided to see what they could do for us and our master bathroom, which was in desperate need of a remodel. We had done remodeling projects in the past, some major, such as extending our previous house to add larger bedrooms and add a jack-and-jill bathroom. We’ve also done two kitchen remodels, a theater addition, lower levels, and a couple of bathrooms. Some of the projects we general-managed, and for others we hired companies, but either way we always seemed to have to manage and “sweat each detail.” Frankly we were so done with that scenario and wanted a complete turn-key operation. That is absolutely what we got with Dana King Design Build Remodeling! When we initially reached out to Dana King Design Build Remodeling, Dana came to our home with Meg, her design architect, and they talked to us. We decided to invest in the design fee to see their ideas and what they could do for us. We are glad we did! Dana King Design Build Remodeling had wonderful ideas and are the perfect mix between personable and professional. With any remodel project there are always issues and delays, and Dana King Design Build Remodeling addressed these minor problems promptly and professionally. Our master bathroom project did not involve moving walls, but did have a large whirlpool tub that needed replacing. The bathroom was completed in late 2019 and we are thrilled with the results. We loved it so much that we decided to hire Dana King Design Build Remodeling to do our master bedroom. I did not think they could outdo themselves, but they did! The master bedroom is spectacular, even more impressive than the bath. As a designer friend of mine said: “I don’t know if I could sleep there because I would want to stay awake enjoying it!” So true, and we agree. For our master bedroom projects we worked with Meg again, and with their designer Michelle. Their ideas and furnishings were over the top and incredibly stunning. They were both easy to work with and communication for both projects was through an app called Basecamp, where everything is documented and all parties involved are notified. Don’t worry if you’re not tech savvy, I’m not, and I figured it out. We could also contact them directly by phone or text, which I also did. The carpentry in the master bedroom, which involved beautiful moldings and “paneling look,” was done by Kent, who did a phenomenal job. Kent also supervised all the trades coming through the house: electricians, blinds, painters, etc. Kent was a pleasure to work with, very conscientious and an all-around nice guy. Dana King Design Build Remodeling followed all safety protocols for Covid-19, including masks, a washing station at the entrance, and sanitizing upon exiting. They were patient with us regarding delaying the project start date, as it was in March of 2020. Even though furnishings were ordered and delivered, they stored all items until we felt comfortable with starting the project. In conclusion, we are extremely pleased with the job Dana King Design Build Remodeling did for our master bathroom and master bedroom. They were not the least expensive, but we held them to high standards for the price paid and they followed through. No regrets!"

"From start to finish we were very pleased with the work and service provided by Al and team. This was the first large scale remodeling project that we've had done, so we were lost at the beginning. Al was very responsive, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel as if we were a burden. During demo, we were faced with some surprises once the drywall was down. Al took it all in stride and assured us that there was a solution to each issue; and there was. We were very impressed with the quality of the carpentry skills and attention to detail from Al and his team. Our new kitchen and half bath look AMAZING! We will definitely look to work with Al Birkenmeier and Sons for any of our future home improvement projects!"
"Bath Fitter did an amazing job upgrading our shower. We had tile, but we were having so many problems with cracks in the tile and the grout cracking and causing leaks that we were recaulking every 6 months, to the point the shower became unusable. Bath Fitter gave us a competitive quote. The install took a full day. The shower is a larger custom size but they handled it like pros. They knocked out all the tile and green board down to the studs, took out the original flooring, reworked the plumbing, then went to work installing everything. They got done late in the evening but the shower looked amazing. We had to wait a few days for the caulk to cure, and we waited a full week just to make sure it was fully set, but we loved it right away. We chose the Delta 2 in 1 Hydrorain shower head and instantly loved it. The best part? Our shower no longer leaks! Very happy with Bath Fitter’s work."
"John E. and Marco S. did a great job on removing our bath tub and changing it into a walk in shower. I was kept informed when difficulties came up on the install. The workers for Jacuzzi were professional and cleaned up after the project."
"Tom and his crew were easy to work with. They are trustworthy and listened to my preferences and concerns. They also kept me informed every step of the way. I am happy with my bathroom remodel."
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts
A half bath is a selling point, adding about $8,000 to $10,000 to the overall value of your home. Removing it can decrease your home’s value—particularly if you have too few bathrooms for the number of bedrooms. That said, it may not make much difference if the number of bathrooms isn’t a problem. You could add value by utilizing that space differently, like a laundry room or workspace.
Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70to$120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.
Whether walk-in showers are worth it depends on your goals and priorities. For many, walk-in showers are worth the investment due to the increased accessibility, the minimalist aesthetic, and the ease of cleaning. They’re particularly beneficial for households that want low-threshold access for aging in place. However, if you love taking baths and want more privacy and a warmer showering space, a walk-in shower may not be the best bathroom upgrade for you.
If done right, wainscoting can make a small bathroom look bigger, but it has more to do with the color choices than the wainscoting itself. If you keep it light and paint the wainscoting the same color as the wall, it can add depth to the design while making the room feel open. Another option is to add wallpaper with a large design on the walls above the wainscoting.
Kitchen remodels are one of the most popular home renovations and for good reason. Many homeowners view the kitchen as the heart of the home and it’s where they welcome and entertain guests. Refreshing a bedroom requires a little paint and perhaps some fresh flooring, but kitchens often require a major renovation to be both functional and modern. From new appliances to updated countertops and backsplashes, or fresh floors and cabinets, there is no shortage of ways to refresh a kitchen to meet your needs and style preferences.
