"Pluma was an excellent company to work with. Work was completed within 1 week of estimated time and included new windows and french door installation, replacement of 3 windows, retexture and paint ceilings, new flooring, new cabinets, new baseboards and painting throughout. Work was excellent and Julio was an amazing worker! He never did things that were less then satisfactory and often went the extra mile! My new kitchen, living area and laundry look incredible!! Overall fair value for work completed, will recommend to others and will likely hire for our future projects. Thank you!!!"
"This is a long, but honest review- Let me start by saying I have mixed emotions. I reached out to Aesthetic Windows and Doors February 6th, they gave me an estimate to replace my sliding glass door and sent someone out to do some measurements. The next day I got another quote from the person that came out to do the measurements, that was nearly 30% more than the original quote. I questioned why (it was a standard door, as previously quoted), and they said they would do the job for the original quoted price. The install was supposed to take place February 10th, however it snowed so they were unable to do the install- understandable. They stated that they would call to reschedule Monday, February 12. I did not hear from them, so I called them February 13, they set the install for February 15th. They came out and put the door in on the 15th. Okay, great, however, they did not cover the area that they were working, and my ENTIRE downstairs was COVERED in dust. It took me 2hrs to clean everything. Not only that, but they failed to let me know that there would be a different crew to come out, at a different time, to do the stucco patchwork as well as the indoor framing. After the install crew left, I got a call for the remaining balance final payment. I found this odd being that the job was only half done. I let them know that I would not be making the final payment until the job was complete and asked to get on the schedule with the stucco crew. I was given the date of February 27. It was a long way out, but I was told that was the soonest because they had a “big job” going on. February 20th, I got a call that they were on the way out to do the stucco patch. Well, it was a Tuesday, and I was at work- so I had to take off and meet them for what was supposed to be a “45min.-1hr” job. They arrived at 9:30 and did not finish until noon. When they finished the outdoor stucco patch, they just left- didn’t tell me they were done, didn’t lock up the gate, just left. Not to mention the fact that they had a boy, couldn’t have been older than say 13yrs old, working with them, which is UNACCEPTABLE. They still had to return to do the indoor framing, paint the stucco, install the screen door, and replace my wrought iron bars. I got a call later that day scheduling the remaining work for February 26th. They arrived and finished the job, as scheduled, on the 26th. This is where my mixed feelings come in- the process was horrible- However, the door is great, the price was great, and they good work. If you don't mind the horrible communication, unfinished work, and messes, their work is good."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.
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.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
In some cases, people are getting rid of bathtubs because of the floor space they gain after removal. Showers can make more efficient use of bathroom space. In some cases, people get rid of tubs for accessibility purposes. It can be difficult for some individuals to step into and out of a tub. For these people, a shower with no lip or step is safer and easier to use than a tub.
Completing a full standard bathroom remodel offers the best value, with an average return on investment (ROI) of 70%. However, you don't need a full remodel to make an impact. To maximize value, focus on key components like flooring, the tub and shower, vanity, and cabinets. High-value upgrades include installing a walk-in shower, resurfacing a tub, retiling, or expanding the shower. For more budget-friendly options that still increase value, consider repainting with a light, neutral color, or updating the mirror and light fixtures. It's also crucial to address any necessary repairs, such as leaks, mold, or cracked tiles, as buyers will notice these issues. Avoid flashy upgrades like bathtub jets or steam showers, which don't add as much value.
