"Background: 
This is my 5th home and I have had remodeling projects in the past. In this case the remodel was isolated to the kitchen and one bedroom that we wanted a shower installed. In addition we were considering removing carpet from 2 bedrooms and replacing with tile. Babcock Construction is a family owned business started in 1968 and together with the founder, his 3 sons are involved in the business as both craftsman and the business end. They have a conveniently located office/shop in Santa Fe. It is difficult not to be impressed with their facility. It is large, clean and contains many sub shops for cabinet making, carpentry and other typical construction type shops. The difference to others I have seen is the appearance as everything is spotlessly clean and organized. That impressed me as an introduction to the company. When they arrived for the  estimate, all of the company brothers and their father arrived and they provided their vision based on a brief outline of what I was looking for. I was immediately impressed with what they were saying and more importantly, how they would do the work. They have various craftsman on staff with the exception of plumbers and electricians however; they have vetted through the years several of each and Babcock had them come to the house for an estimate.  
Responsiveness: 
At all stages, they were available to answer any questions. This included weekends or evening hours. One of the sons (Steve) was designated as the site foreman and he was there every day overseeing and applying his trade for both detailed tile work, painting, carpentry and refinishing several doors. Early on it became apparent that based on what I was seeing, I wanted to add to my initial project. Steve would tell me what could be done, provide an estimate (after consultation with his brother Richard) and leave it at that. There was never any encouragement or pressure from Babcock to have them perform the additional work.  
Quality:
The quality is unlike any contractor I have used in the past. Their attention to detail is nothing short of remarkable. They moved and covered furniture each time it was needed. With any construction project dust and debris are inherent. They did their level best to mitigate this issue everyday. At the conclusion of each workday, they were very thorough in cleaning up their specific location that had been worked on that day and neatly put away their tools in the designated area (garage). Never did I arrive home to find a "mess". 
Dependability:
The crew arrived each morning without fail at 7:30AM. There was a minimum of 3 workers but often times up to 5. They actually worked on a federal holiday. At the end of each day I was given an update on what had been accomplished and the schedule for the next day or beyond in some cases. 
Professionalism:
Without exception all of the craftsman maintained the highest level of professionalism that I have seen on any construction site. These folks went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied in all that they did which included asking how I liked the progress, recently completed job and many other items of interest to me. 
Price:
Being somewhat of a "miser" I was always on top of the price for each project be it the base contract or the many add ons that I contracted for. In the end, the "you get what you pay for" axiom proved to be true. Never did I feel I was charged more than was reasonable. 
Summary:
Babcock provided a detailed professional result while keeping the customers needs at the forefront of all that they did. Their degree of professional service is above reproach. The quality I am convinced, can not be overstated. The bottom line is that you can not go wrong contracting with them. You will find customer service, communication and quality is at the top of the list in all that they do.

"They remodeled my main bath half way which included the ceiling fan, a lavatory and a new sink. I am still planning on putting in a new type of fiberglass shower by taking the tub out. They also remodeled a second half bath with a new lavatory, a new toilet and a new ceiling fan. I have used them over and over again because I don’t figure that I can get better than what the plumber is. I have probably paid them about $2000 or $3000 for the work done by them this year. In the last 3 years, I have probably employed them at least 6 times. I don’t call anybody else and I only call them. I had a new cooler installed in my house this past spring in April and that project was about $1000. I like them because their price is right. I keep going back to them because the hassle of trying to get several different people and estimates is overwhelming. I like to stick with them because I know that they do a good job. They put in a new forced-air heating system for me about 2 or 3 years ago. It was about $2500 for that project. They are excellent and their price is good. Everything about them is excellent. PHC Systems is a small organization. It’s a one man ownership with 2 or 3 workers. He is not overwhelmed with his staff. He is able to accomplish jobs with the small workforce that he has. The plumber in the way of plumbing, heating and cooling is a big part of keeping our home in a good shape."

"Edgar Gallard was fabulous!! We wanted a bathroom remodel including tear out bathtub and build new shower. Edgar handled the whole project and did a great job. I picked out marble tile that was large 12 x 24 inch and needed a wall that was straight and at 90 degrees, of which Edgar had to build and did a great job. We had small problems along the way and Edgar always helped with the solutions and let us know about the options. Very great outcome and we are very happy!!"

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

As with any project, refinishing your bathtub presents pros and cons to consider, such as:

Pros

  • The job is typically quick, and your tub is ready within 48 hours.

  • Your bathtub looks new.

  • You don’t need to tear out the old tub and replace it with a new one.

  • You can customize it with the color of your choice.

  • You can’t tell the bathtub has been refinished.

Cons

  • Refinished bathtubs can be slippery.

  • Not all refinishing products are created equal.

  • You need to wait up to 48 hours before using the bathtub.

Refinished bathtubs typically need to be refinished every five years or so. Frequent cleaning and use will break down the finish and make cracks and chips appear more readily. Cracks and chips tend to grow once they begin unless they are repaired immediately. Ideally, you should refinish your bathtub before it gets old enough that refinishing isn’t worth the hassle.

While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.

The reglazed tub won’t last as long as a brand-new bathtub. Professional reglazing jobs can only last up to 15 years.

According to most pros, you can only reglaze a tub once or twice. So, if you’ve already reglazed your tub once, it might not be a realistic solution.

Some chemicals used in reglazing a bathtub can be dangerous to your health. If you’re DIYing the project, ensure the room is ventilated, and always wear a mask. If you hire a contractor, make sure you get the clearance to use the bathroom again.

Bathtub refinishing is the overall process of repairing and resurfacing a bathtub, while reglazing is a key step within that process. The complete refinishing process includes cleaning the tub, protecting surrounding areas, removing the existing glaze, sanding the surface, applying the new glaze coating, caulking the tub, and replacing fixtures. A professional refinishing job can extend a bathtub's life by 10 to 15 years, whereas a DIY job typically lasts three to four years.
