"We converted a sun room and kitchen into a larger kitchen. Claudio handled everything including installing a ceiling beam to replace a structural wall. It was a complete transformation. The craftsmanship on the part of all of the subcontractors was excellent. Claudio’s strength is getting the job done- he carries out your plans."
"Mr Freeman has been one of my best finds on Angies List. He was very quick to call me back (my initial call was after hours) and was able to come by and look at what we needed done within a couple of days. Once we agreed on the work to be done and the price for that work he showed up on the day he said he would and completed the work within the time he said he would.. When I noticed a small issue with the back door that was replaced he was there the day after I called him to fix it (without any hemming or hawing about it as I have experienced with other contractors). Really couldn't be happier with everything. Freeman Repair and Remodeling will be the ONLY company i'll call for any future work that needs to be done to this house or any other I may own. "

"We hired MPH plumbing to renovate our bathrooms (2 vanities, new shower/bath, 3 toilets, 4 faucets). It took a little longer than expected due to some damaged flooring and another scheduled job, but we're very happy with the overall outcome! Mike went to bat for us, too, when somehow I ordered a faucet without a drain/stopper and the distributor wanted to charge full price. Mike was available by text, phone, or email and gave updates of his progress. I had to do some minor touch ups (eg, caulking, silicone), but this was part of a complete renovation. So the painting, lighting, and bathroom accessories were my responsibility. Mike's a nice guy, too, and will be respectful of your property and pets. I would hire him again, but I don't have any more bathrooms to fix up. I only wish he did kitchen renovations!"
"This is our family’s beach house, built by my grandfather’s hands in the early 1950s. It is VERY dear to us and we will not allow just anyone to work on it. So when we were faced with the large job of replacing the siding, we considered no one but Carson Rembert. He has done work for us previously (numerous jobs) and we knew we could entrust our very special property to him. Carson NEVER lets us down. We are always over awed with the beauty and quality of his work. He has great suggestions and we have learned to follow his advice for an amazing outcome! So glad to have someone talented, experienced, reliable, honest and trustworthy to call upon."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
While Medicare will pay for some bathroom modifications, it won’t pay for all modifications done to help make the room more accessible for older adults. Plus, the improvements must be approved in advance, or they won’t cover the upgrade. Check well in advance of construction if you have coverage for grab bars, walk-in tubs, wider doorways, higher toilets, and more.
A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.
The overflow drain and wastewater drain connect to the same main pipe to take water away from your bathtub. Your overflow drain is meant to prevent damage to your bathroom—especially the floor around your bathtub, where excess water can quickly create a mold or mildew problem.
If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.
When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming.
