"I was referred to Sorin by a friend who had been impressed with Sorin's professionalism and skills. Sorin replied to all my communications quickly. Provided helpful guidance and recommendations. He talked me out of one of my initial tile plans that would made him more money on the project, but he felt that getting someone else to do a non-tile alternative would be more practical (and he was correct.) He got the project going very quickly and offered to work on a weekend. The results were excellent."

"Leaking garbage disposal…water under the sink and on the kitchen floor… what to do? Call Standard Plumbing. They were booked that day, but came out the next day, diagnosed the problem and replaced the disposal. Problem solved. As always, Tim arrived on time, swapped out the disposal, cleaned up, and left in very short order. We never call anyone else for a plumbing problem because we know they will do a great job at a reasonable price, and they stand behind their work.

"I had an outstanding experience working with Macadam Floor and Design and I can’t say enough good things about my flooring representative, Katie. From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable — which is not something you can say about most home projects! Katie stood out immediately for her professionalism and warm, approachable style. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, walked me through options without overwhelming me, and provided thoughtful recommendations that truly elevated the look of my home. Her product knowledge is incredible, and she made sure I felt confident in every decision. The installation team was equally impressive — punctual, skilled, and respectful of my space. The final result is absolutely beautiful, and the quality of the workmanship is clear in every detail. If you’re looking for a flooring company you can trust, ask for Katie. She made the entire process stress-free and delivered a result that exceeded"

My name is James Merritt. As owner of Big Jim's Home Repair, I have over 20 years of experience in most aspects of construction and home repair services. My goal is to remodel, or fix your home so that the only reason you will call me back is to have me do another project for you or to give me a referral. In other words, I don't want to hear that the job I did for you was not to your satisfaction. If I have to come back to bring the job up to your satisfaction, I don't look good, I don't make money when I come back to fix it and most of all, I will lose your confidence and the possibility that you will refer me to your family and friends. Email me or call me with your questions!

"Last year, my husband and I noticed that some of our wooden trims and siding were cracked and growing fungus. We reached out to a few contractors for quotes and consultation, and finally decided to go with Big Jim's Home Repair based on the great positive reviews. After contacting Jim, he came over to analyze the problem and provided a fair estimate for the repair. We decided to switch to fiber cement trims instead of treated wood trims. We also realized our siding wall really needed a fresh coat of paint as the existing paint looked dull after 9 years. Jim was able to schedule us in within a few weeks, despite being booked with other ongoing projects. Jim's crew always showed up on time and completed the project in one week. They painted a fresh coat beautifully, enhancing the overall look of our home. Jim always kept in touch with us throughout the whole process and answered any questions we had. We can't thank them enough for being meticulous, careful, and courteous. They cleaned up the mess, and our siding and new trims look excellent. The attention to detail and quality of work were outstanding. We have other projects in mind and will not hesitate to give Jim a call again in the future. Highly recommend Big Jim's Home Repair!"

"this is my second review. I am totally confused by this company. If I could add to my first review I would. This is what happened: I contacted them to come out to a rental property to fix a run on toilet. They came out and I was told the toilet was fixed. When I received the bill months later it had been sent through my lawyer of my trust even though I had given them my address, they went online to find the owner of the property etc. So they did not keep a record of my address or phone number that I had given them. (this ties in later). On the bill it said, leaky faucet. I called them and said I wish they had called me when they were AT the property as there is always a fee to just show up - they could have fixed the faucet WHILE they were there. Tony (or Kyle, but I think it was tony) said so sorry and he would go back out and fix it and even throw in the faucet (that he has at the office) to make that up to me. I said well, thank you but will it fit that old sink? He said to email photos of the sink. I did. I then emailed many more times and called many times and never heard back. So I came in to angies list to right my first review. THEN Tony called. He apoligized and told me how many properties they manage well and they wanted to make it up to me. I had by this time ordered the correct faucet so they went out to install it at no charge. They sent a "bill" for $750 (but no charge) and it showed many other items they did for free that were kind of vague to me but I am not a plumber - like teaching the tenants how to use the kitchen faucet without it making a humming noise (I didnt know it did that or why). But I thought ok, good. It's all fixed. Then I emailed them again months later and reported that there was a leak in the basement and I sent photos of the leak of the pipes above the clothes washing machine to be very clear what work needed to be done. Tony wrote me back about what he suspects the leak in the basement is from and an estimate on the cost to clean out that pipe etc - I agreed and CC-ed my new (second floor) tenant so they could work out when to go back out and get access to basement. THEN my new tenant informs me the toilet is leaking. I check in with previous tenant and say, I thought that was fixed? - and I was informed "partly, the plumbers had said they'd come back out with some chain part but never did" - I reported this to Tony and said, while you are there can you also finish up the work on the toilet upstairs. He arranges a time with my tenant. I get the bill and it charges me again $175 to fix the toilet (now third time working in that bathroom and I was charged for the visit and the work twice but whatever, hopefully now the toilet is finally fixed once and for all). THEN i get the bill and it only mentions the toilet repair. No mention of the reason I had emailed tony - about the leak in the basement. I pull up the email to Tony and his response and send it to him and say, what about the lack in the basement?. - AND HIS RESPONSE IS: "The tenant didn’t mention anything and I personally entered your last service call to make sure we didn’t screw up" - I said, scroll down in this very email! He then offered to go back out and check the leak in the basement now. So three trips to fix the toilet. Got other random free stuff and now I have to call them out AGAIN to check the leak in the basement that has been now going for 2 months...What more can i do to be clear? I honestly think they are trying to do a good job but have ZERO office staff and their communication lines in the office and also between the office and the men on the site are terrible. They have no communication with the guys they send out there. I'd LOVE to find a reliable plumber but I don't know how to help them anymore. I literally can't be any clearer. UPDATE: One year later the toilet was not working AGAIN. Some issues. It was never fixed. I called Sutherland Plumbing and Shawn replaced the toilet. UGH."

Bathtub Restoration questions, answered by experts

Refinishing a bathtub is a project you can do at the same time as refinishing a porcelain sink. If your tub is the same age as your sink, consider getting a quote. Most homeowners spend about $480 on the cost of refinishing a bathtub, but it ranges between $335 and $630, depending on the size, style, and material of the tub.

Ammonia is a powerful household cleaner, but don’t use it for your acrylic tub. Ammonia or cleaners containing this ingredient can break down the surface of the acrylic bathtub and leave it with permanent damage. Instead, try a gentler store-bought acrylic tub cleaner, or a homemade baking soda cleaner.

Most homeowners need to wait at least two days, sometimes three, to use their bathtub following the reglazing process. That’s the normal length of time it takes for epoxy resin to cure. There are quick-dry epoxy kits available that cure in 12 hours, though. To ensure that the epoxy dries properly, try to ventilate the bathroom as well as you can.

Yes, you can use Epsom salt in a refinished bathtub. The salt will not harm the new glaze finish chemically, although it may rough up the surface finish a bit. Consult a professional bathtub refinisher prior to using Epsom salt on your bathtub to ensure it won’t damage its finish.

Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
