"We contracted Nerek’s Painting to prep, stain and finish coat new woodwork in our home. We found them to be timely, courteous and professional throughout the bidding and scheduling process. Their bid was extremely reasonable compared to the other bids we received. Rogelio showed up each day exactly on time and did excellent work. He was respectful of property and was always willing to do whatever was needed to insure we were completely satisfied. We would not hesitate to recommend them to others and intend to contract them again for an exterior painting project."
"I had gotten probably ten bids. The guy came out I was comfortable with him. He had more knowledge. When they came out to do the work they were on time. Clean and courteous. When they were done I paid the rest of my bill. I will probably do another bathroom with them after all of this has cleared up."
"The communication with the estimator who presented a complete written estimate, and with the workers was excellent and consistent throughout the project. I found that to be most satisfactory. The kitchen cabinets were refinished excellently, the counter top required special fitting and turned out beautifully. All the completed project with its many parts was addressed and completed to my satisfaction. Additionally the cooperation in use of masks and care of the working space was very well addressed. I would recommend this company. And if I needed any future work I would use them."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
Acrylic bathtubs can last up to 30 years without major issues if they receive the right care and maintenance. They can last even longer but might scratch or stain as they age. The expected longevity is a major factor when investing in a new tub. Cast-iron tubs are the longest-lasting option.
A powder room cannot have a bath. If it had a bath, it would likely be considered a three-quarter bath or full bath, depending on the other features. You might hear the term “powder room” used to describe a bathroom used by guests, but it wouldn’t technically be a powder room. However, powder rooms or half baths are ideal for guests because they can use it without entering the more private areas of the home.
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
