"I initially contracted for just a bathtub refinishing. The tub ended up so sparkling and new looking that the worn bathroom floor looked horrendous. So I asked them about flooring, ultimately purchasing a floating laminate to put over the ugly tiled floor. We repeated the flooring in the other bathroom. The entire process was efficient, timely, and reasonably priced."

"The installation went well. The installer told me immediately that the salesman had made statements that couldn’t be fulfilled. He worked hard and did a good job. The complaint I have with him is that my wood floors were scratched by the bathtub as they removed it and he said that the contractor did said there could be some damages. He did come up with a solution to the largest gap, but I feel like he could have come back with another piece of tile to fix the other large scar."

"We were extremely pleased with our bath remodel. We removed an old garden tub and moved the new shower to that location, replaced all fixtures and cabinets, and created a new closet where the original shower was located. The project was completed on schedule and on budget. We were well informed about what to expect both in the beginning and by text each night before the next days work. All their workman are professionals in their areas of expertise, friendly, and considerate. Our home was protected from any damage due to the work being done."
What an incredible transformation!

"The evaluation and repair went extremely well. Alexis had to open up three areas to assess the water damage. We knew one window had to be replaced but he uncovered some structural supports that were damaged and had to be replaced. He also had to completely rebuild the framing for one window and then he reinstalled that window as well as a second window so that the windows matched. He spent about two weeks slowly jacking up the house so he could take the weight off of the structural supports and then he replaced the damaged supports. He added some floor joists; had to remove, replace and repair sheetrock; as well as removing and replacing the wood molding in various places. He also mad some modifications to the roof of the sunroom so that the water damage problem would not recur. He did some of the work himself and had two employees that did the rest of the work. All of the work that was done was carried out professionally and carefully. When the crew was there, they worked diligently on each element of the repair. The bay window was the area that was the majority of the problem, and that area looks brand new after they completed the repairs. I would recommend B & D Remodeling to anyone looking to do repairs or remodeling. He and his crew first rate work on a challenging project and I thought his pricing seemed quite reasonable, especially considering that he could not see what the issues were until he began the repair. Alexis, Carlos and Mario were friendly throughout the process. Generally they were good about letting me know what time they planned to be at the house to work on the repairs. I am hoping to get them back to do some additional work for us in the near future."

"Triangle Classic Homes
Owner - Ralph Rohn
 
Overview:
Quality: 5 stars
Timeliness of completion of work for my house:
·        
July 2015 - 2 days for painting an entire house
with a crew of 6-7. Crew leader: Jesus
·        
December 2010 - 1.5 days for roofing an entire
2500 square foot 1.5 story house. Crew leader: Rudy
·        
January 2011 - 3 days for new sheetrock and
painting living room wall that suffered mold buildup from previous leaking
roof. Note: spackling needs time to dry overnight properly before painting.
Crew leader: another Jesus
·        
May 2014 - 1 week for gutters due to unexpected
complications> Crew leader: Noberto
In general Ralph?s  subcontracted
crews work extremely fast, methodically, professionally, and clean up well.
 
Ralphs demeanor:
Likes to kid around with the home owner with the intent with of establishing a
long term friendship. If you are the type who easily gets offended with someone
who is not politically correct and has a dry sense of humor you may not like Ralph.
I like Ralph. Demeanor of Ralph?s subcontractor crew leaders: cheerful and
eager to do good work.
 
Ralph?s Philosophy:
Customer does not pay anything until the job is complete and customer is
completely satisfied. Generally prefers a verbal contract and what is written is
not highly detailed. With most contractors before Ralph I found it necessary
for a detailed contract because of their dishonesty. With Ralph I found it is
only necessary to be basically clear what I want. He has the experience and
character  to get it done correctly. It
you do find something that one of his crews did not do correctly then simply
and nicely call it to his attention without panicking and he will gladly make
sure it is corrected to your satisfaction 
in a timely manner (no long drawn out delays).
 
The only time I panicked was during the gutter install when
two of Noberto?s crew during his absence did not seal the end-caps properly and
align the downspouts properly. When I showed Noberto the evidence he cheerfully
corrected the issues himself. I?ve come to realize I don?t have to babysit any
of Ralph?s crews like I have had to do with other contractors when Ralph was
booked up solid with other customers.
 
With Ralph?s crews for the most part - watch and be amazed
with delight.
 
The only negative:
Ralph is partial to Plygem windows because Plygem gives contractors the least
amount of grief and better discounts. My experience with Plygem, even their
high end windows, is of poor quality in protection from the elements. Note:
they were installed by a previous contractor. When I ordered replacement casement
sashes I had to return the first set due to poor packaging and scarring. On the
replacement set a year after install, the flaps that protect from the rain began
to tear off easily when opening the window. Note: Plygem took over M&W
Windows.
Note: even a good quality window will not last long if
poorly installed whereas a poorer quality window will last longer if installed
properly and homeowner follows manufacturer?s instructions for proper
maintenance.
 
Advice: When it
comes to windows and siding it is best to budget/ set aside in advance at least
$35K for a 2600 square foot house. Reason is the manufacturers of siding change
their thickness on a regular basis and window manufacturers also do not
maintain backwards compatibility when it comes to dimensions. Twenty year old windows
and siding cannot be replaced piecemeal which my wife and I have learned the
frequently frustrating and expensive way over the last 20 years.
 
My recommendations for:
·        
Siding - LP Smartside
·        
Windows - Marvin
 
Be careful even with installers who have been certified in
installing certain product lines. Certification
does not necessarily mean they will actually execute a proper install. My
regret is that Ralph was tied up back to back with large contracts when we
realized we needed a major overhaul done at once. The contractor who was
certified and who had a five star rating on 
Home Advisor who installed the LP Smartside and Marvins was a nightmare.
After three  months of nightmares, we
checked the website for his ratings and they were no longer on the website. We
had to force them to get the work done properly after showing them over 500
photos and documenting thoroughly things poorly done and destroyed. They backed
out of painting our house when they realized to total cost of repairs would
exceed $30K in which case a building permit is needed in Raleigh, NC.
 
Fortunately Ralph?s painting contractor Jesus made up for
our previous trauma and our house looks beautiful again.
 
Ralph of Triangle Classic Homes is my go to contractor when
he is not tied up with other major contracts.
 
If you need piecemeal work done then it is likely you will
need to hunt for a handyman who has good recommendations from people you have
met face to face and not ratings on some website.
 
A ratings website is a good start to narrow down your
choices but ideally should be followed up with your own personal contacts face
to face, phone calls, emails, etc with people whose judgment you already trust.

Bathtub Replacement FAQs, answered by experts

DIY installation of a walk-in tub is not recommended as it is a challenging and risky project that requires advanced plumbing knowledge. Professional installation is crucial to ensure a proper and safe setup, water-tight conditions, adherence to local building codes, and the preservation of your product's warranty.

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.

The time it takes to install a bathtub depends on the type of tub, the condition of the existing plumbing, and the installation's complexity. A new bathtub can be installed in four to eight hours. However, this can take longer if any additional plumbing work or bathroom modifications are needed.

Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.

An alcove tub is designed to fit into a three-walled enclosure in a bathroom. A drop-in tub, on the other hand, is placed into a custom-built frame or enclosure. This frame can be fitted to an alcove, making a drop-in tub a viable alternative if you want a more custom or spa-like look. Because the frame is custom, drop-in tubs offer more design flexibility and a wider range of materials, such as cultured marble or tile, compared to the simpler acrylic or fiberglass of a typical alcove tub. The frame for a drop-in tub can also be placed anywhere in the bathroom it fits, not just in an alcove.
