"Emmanuel is a 'top-notch' professional. He kept his appointments by showing up on time when he did the estimate and when we hired this company to complete the job. Emmanuel replaced 4 tiles in our kitchen as there was very bad damage. The job he did was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I agree that we would hire him again!!"
"Mr. Danzy and crew did an outstanding job replacing subflooring and putting new flooring down. The crew was very friendly and knew exactly what they were going. We have another project coming up and will definitely hire them again. We highly recommend."
"Excellent work. Kevin assessed the problem quickly and provided options. He completed the removal and replacement without problems. I was happy with all aspects. the hot water heater was more expensive than i expected but it has been 12 years since we replaced one. Good Job!"

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. Review is copy/pasted from Ms Word 2007 document. "

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
Yes. Common materials for Roman tubs are acrylic, fiberglass, cast iron, and stone resin. The choice you make can depend on various factors, including weight, cost, durability, style, heat retention, and aesthetics. Ultimately, it really depends on your space to determine the best option.
Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.
The order of your bathroom renovation should prevent damage to the completed work. Start with demolition and removing the old fixtures. Then, address structural repairs or water damage, if needed. Next, tackle the rough-in phase for plumbing and electrical work, install waterproofing, and work on wall treatments like tile or paint. Install your shower or bathtub, toilet, vanity, and sink. Flooring goes in after major fixtures but before the toilet. Lastly, install new lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other finishing touches as desired.
