1.) He called me the same day that I left a message on his number which I found on Angie's List.
2.) He identified himself! (Honestly, that's a first!)
3.) I think I called him on a Wednesday and told him that I wanted a new driveway. He promised to go look at the site by the end of the week and call me back with a quote. Which he did.
4.) He told me he could do the job (which, at this point, was just a driveway) and how he would do it, how much it would cost and said he would send his bid in an email. He told me also that he wouldn't be able to get to the job until after the holidays. I was a little disappointed as the house was vacant and I was expecting tenants at the end of December, so this seemed like the perfect time. But I was swayed by all his good reviews - he's a busy man for good reason and I'm a reasonable person. His materials were of a higher quality than other bids I received, 4" of 4000PSI cement, 2" of base material, 1/2" rebar on 12" centers both ways. His price was just a little higher. But not unreasonably so. So waiting wasn't a deal breaker. His written bid received shortly thereafter.
5.) The week before Christmas, Mr. Barr called to say that he'd had a customer cancel a job which opened up a spot for my job. Would I be interested in proceeding the week after Christmas? Holiday calculations were made hastily - I live 125 miles from SA. Yes! Lets proceed! He had told me that 1/2 the fee would be due on starting and offered to meet me to pick up a check. At that point he did not understand that I did not live in town. Once we cleared up that issue, he was able to take my payment via credit card over the phone. I had a receipt in my in-box within 30 minutes.
6.) Mr. Barr had the prep work underway and completed the week before Christmas. He texted me pics of the progress at the end of every days' work. He met the incoming tenants one day and called me with their request: would I be interested having him install a sidewalk between the driveway to the house?Hmmm. Mr. Barr said,"I can spray paint in the outlines and text you a pic. You could see if you like it." And I did! Great idea. Proceed. He made it with a gentle curve that embraced the front of the house and complimented the original sidewalk from the front door to the street. An elegant and subtle esthetic on the fly so to speak - beyond simply going from point A to point B in a straight line. The additional expense of the sidewalk was worth the new "eye-appeal" of the house.
7.) The day of the pour, Dec. 30, it was bitter cold and drizzling. I pulled up at 10 am, the time Mr. Barr had told me work would begin. The cement truck was already pouring, the crew was slogging and shoveling and directing the cement and Mr. Barr was right in there with them, rubber-booted and working hard. Have I painted a picture here? A man who works hard at all levels of his job, who does what he says he's gonna do, and does it with skill and at reasonable cost and in the time he said it he would do it. And with add-ons! A good humored, kind, articulate and gracious person; Mr. Barr is what used to be known as the salt of the earth. What more could you ask?

Mr. Barr has single-handedly restored my faith in humanity. Well, at least, in contractors. I had a very difficult time finding a contractor who would provide me with the things I expected and wanted. The things anyone who was going to spend a chunk of money on would expect: like a simple bid...

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
