"Ani and his brother were timely, communicative and sent updates when each piece of work was done. The old pool house old building had issues that were revealed as work progressed, and Ani gave me quotes for what each repair would cost. He also helped me pick tile, explain why a floor covering of tile would make more sense than wood in the house. He painted, replaced the roof, created a vent, and created a shutoff switch for the pipe so that a leak might not happen in the future. Above all, the project was completed on time within his estimates. In addition, he was very good to work with and together the project came together very well. He was clear and direct, which is how I like working with someone. I would recommend A&K construction and will definitely hire them again for future projects."

"This contractor is wonderful! Mr. Narine and his assistants were at my home within a week of when my husband contacted him. He installed the vent fan we wanted and was so professional and quick and neat cleaning up everything behind themselves. We could not have asked for anyone better!"

Skip and his crew were professional and courteous and easy to work with.

1) The chandelier was no easy task to install. They did a great job: A

2) Ceiling fan in bedroom w/ remote and wall controls: A

3) Window screens: I had all of the screens replaced because several of my old ones had fallen out when my two (indoor) cats sat on the window sill and leaned against the screens. Within two months of receiving the new screens, one of the downstairs screens popped out and my little cat fell out of the first floor window. This is a skittish indoor cat who had never been outside, and it took me close to an hour to coax him back inside. Because the only reason I had the screens replaced was to keep my cats from falling out of the window, and I now have zero confidence in the integrity of the screens, I rate this section as an: F

4) New toilet and light/fan in guest bathroom: A

5) My master bathroom was completely gutted. Out went the old bathtub and in came a beautiful shower stall with a bench, shelves and glass doors. It looks great and I love it. The painting and floor tiling were A. The toilet and light/fan: A. But now comes the part that has been gnawing at me from the start. I ordered a custom-made, "top of the line" vanity with a granite top. It was the most expensive piece of the whole renovation .About $3000 or > if memory serves. On the final day of the job, after Skip installed the sink, he told me that I "lost a drawer." Apparently the sink was too deep so there was no way to install the top drawer of the custom-made 3-drawer vanity that I ordered. And then while we were standing there in the bathroom reviewing the job, the wood plank that would have been the face of the top drawer fell onto the floor. As all of us girls know, the top drawer is the most important drawer of the vanity, and basically of any piece that has drawers. You wouldn't put your kitchen silverware in the 2nd drawer, would you? As much as I love my overall renovated bathroom, the missing top drawer on the vanity bugs the *&%# out of me each and every day. A big disappointment. And it is the missing drawer that brings down my overall ratings. I was going to keep this to myself and not post on Angie's list, but then this week, the toilet paper holder that was installed onto my custom-made vanity fell off.

Misc: There was a small problem with the plumbing of the new shower which leaked after its first use. Skip and the plumber came back the next day to fix it. No big whoop. Nobody's perfect. But they had to go through my closet to get to the leak, and the patch job on my closet wall was less than perfect. It is not in an area where any guest would notice it, but it bothers me because it was done in a hurry on the last day of the job and looks sloppy. It makes me feel badly because I know that is not how someone would repair it if it was in their own home.

"As someone building a second home in Vt., everything needed to be done from a 235 mile distance. This can feel a little scary. My experience w/ Joe was Outstanding!!! Joe approaches all his tasks whether it be contract work or time & material work w/ the same set of ethics. Get it done in a timely fashion, be fair, communicate clearly, take regular pics, send via text for approval or comment, & offer advice through his experience as a seasoned builder. If you are lucky enough to work w/ Joe, enjoy the experience, your in good hands. Bill Giglio from Ct."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It’s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren’t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.
