"This company goes above and beyond in customer satisfaction and attention to detail! They were recommended to us by good friends who had them do a kitchen remodel. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone! They stayed on schedule, on budget, and worked to find us the best prices on our tub and hardware! They actually saved us over $1200 from what we thought we would have to pay! They are so easy to work with and are very professional! In fact, by the time they were done, they felt like family! We will definitely use them again when we do our kitchen remodel next year! Don’t hesitate to work with them! You won’t be sorry!"
"Once you've worked with Powell's Pro, you will never want to work with another contractor. They did a major remodel for us (kitchen/bath/plus) last year, which transformed our house. So when we wanted to build a deck in our backyard, they were the first people we called. Once again, Powell's Pro didn't disappoint! They are honest, hardworking, and their craftsmanship is outstanding. Our new deck is sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and they had it completed in a week. We just can't say enough good things about working with them."
"Let me start by saying Bryant is the best contractor ever. Having done remodeling work on our own home many years ago, I can appreciate the work and planning that goes into this kind of project. Add a job that was started as Covid was rearing its head and you have the makings of a potential disaster. But not with Bryant. With supply-side disruptions, permit department closures and folks adjusting to working from home, and folks getting sick with Covid, things were slowed down considerably (The window supplier lost $5M in glass inventory because of crazing during the Oregon fires which put them behind a few weeks) Bryant and his assistant were always available for questions, and gave plenty of lead time to get stuff done that they needed, and were easy to work with. Bryant and his subs managed well under difficult circumstances. Plans were drawn up. and the estimate was close to the finishing cost. He adjusted to make room for my suggestions and updated the estimate accordingly, and kept me in the loop for the inevitable changes in plans. The work was done to spec and passed the city inspection with little problem. He made suggestions that made the design better, and referred me to quality suppliers. He was so easy to work with that he is in the process of planning out a second job that I have asked him to look at. He remodeled and updated an old 1930s 2000 square-foot two-story lath and plaster brick home for us. Electrical and plumbing were updated up and down. HVAC was reconfigured to raise ceilings downstairs and extra insulation was added to the attic area. An old central chimney was removed, kitchens reconfigured both up and down, 2 bathrooms were added to the existing build. We had just gone through a 5.7 earthquake and the house did fine. I had a structural engineer take a look before work was started. After work was completed there were 2 huge and very unusual rainstorms within 5 weeks of each, and the up and downstairs renovation remained dry. I am pleased with the quality of the work and how the job was managed. His estimation was accurate."
"I'm a landlord and I've worked with a lot of contractors over the years. Unfortunately, many of them don't show up on time, don't do what they say they will do, or their quality of work isn't what you'd like. So when you find a good contractor, you hold onto them! We'll that is what we found with M.A.C. We started with a bathroom remodel and they did such good work we kept giving them more business. They not only remodeled a bathroom, we then had them remold a basement and then we had them remodel the whole upstairs and do another bathroom. We are pleased with everything, the work, the price, the timeline. We will use them again on other jobs, they've won our business and we highly recommend them to you!"
"I hired Cransten to remodel my bathroom. It was getting old and in need of an update. They came in, replaced the floor, built a shower pan, and laid custom tile around my shower. I was impressed with how friendly and professional they were. I would definitely hire them again!"
"Dan and his team installed beautiful custom built ins. He was extremely detail oriented, professional, prompt and respectful. I would recommend Dan and Xinja to anyone."
"They answered all my questions and were very quick. They had to come by twice because the first job had some water drip out of the jets in our tub and messed it up. When I reached out to them about it they were quick to fix it. They were very professional and kind."
"We LOVE our backsplash that was installed by Melendez Tile Wood & Stone Installing. They were quick, professional and payed attention to small details. We highly recommend them!"
"we hired Cransten to do a remodel of our kitchen, master bath and floors in kitchen, dining room, living room, stairs and upstairs den. The initial process was different then I had seen before with me going over the scope of work with a project manager on the phone and me sending pictures of the rooms and spaces that would be remodeled. Different isn't bad their process worked very well. before the work the contractor Robert [Provider Name Removed] made an appointment to complete a walk through. Robert showed up early which was a pleasant surprise as most companies get there when they want. We eventually signed after a price was given. The billing process was simple. And several people from the company checked in with me each week to ensure we were happy and things were going good. A date was set to begin the demo and the project. Robert [Provider Name Removed] actually asked us what time he could start and was incredibly thoughtful of us the entire length of the process. His plan was always with us in mind in ord"
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts
Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.
Just like the rest of your roof, a dormer will last as long as the life span of the materials used in construction. Slate, clay, and concrete roofing can last for over a century, whereas more standard roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, last closer to 30 years. The structure of the dormer itself, however, should last the roof's lifetime when properly maintained. Only the window, insulation, and eaves may require repairs over time.
What you include in your bathroom remodel will depend on your budget, personal preferences, and the current condition of your bathroom. Bathroom renovations often involve changing out the shower or tub, faucet, showerhead, tiles, flooring, mirrors, sink, cabinets, and vanities. You may also want to upgrade the wallcovering, adding new wallpaper or paint.
Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.
In most cases, it is safe to stay in a house while renovating. However, you should take precautions if there is active construction going on. You should keep the main living area separate from the construction zone, and make sure animals and kids don’t have access to any dangerous equipment. It’s not safe to stay in a home that’s having asbestos removed.
