"We had water damage from an upstairs bathroom when the bathtub overflowed. We had Big Mikes Maintenance come and repair the ceiling and help hang a kitchen cabinet. They did a great job so we got a quote to remodel our bathroom as it was the original bathroom from 1970. Mike gave us the best quote out of 3 different quotes so we decided to give them the job.
They did great work. It did take longer than expected but the quality of the work was worth it.
Mike kept us in the loop during the entire process letting us know exactly what they were doing and why.
Mike owned up to some damage and fixed everything at no extra cost. My wife and I were grateful for that and we love our new bathroom. 
We will definitely hire Big Mikes again for future work as they are honest and do quality work."

"The job went VERY well!  David (GID owner and main contractor) gave us a spot-on estimate and super advice about the project.  His ideas on the layout and the window options worked better than our original plans and having his expertise and experience right at the beginning brought a lot of clarity to our planning process.  
Once construction was ready to start, we discovered that we might need special permitting for the overall changes upstairs due to our septic system.  GID was very patient as we worked through health dept. regulations that held up the project for a while.  At all times, Melisa, the office manager/co-owner, kept in touch with us, helping us figure out what we were needed to know about ordering tile and such and keeping us encouraged as we waited for the job to proceed.  They were never impatient as we worked through delays on our end but were right on the spot and ready to go when we finally got all the approvals.  
We hit a second snag upon discovering that the floor joists were not the proper thickness, which meant that in order to install the sewage/water lines, the ceiling in the shower and laundry room directly below the new bathroom had to be lowered by 6".  This involved removing cabinets and lighting, rebuilding a lower ceiling and re-plastering and painting the downstairs area before they could proceed with the construction upstairs.  All of this was done efficiently, quickly and perfectly and only added $500 to the overall project cost, which we thought was outstanding because it was a real pain .  You would never know the downstairs bathroom/laundry room had changed at all - no one we've shown it to could figure out what we were talking about!
We loved every member of the GID crew: Neil, the electrician, did a great job; Steve, the plumber, is amazing; Keith is an absolute tile artist (it is flawless and "makes" the bathroom) and the paint and plaster work matched the existing walls so perfectly that no one has any idea where the change begins.  They were all such nice people - we were very comfortable having them in our home. Even the service at the contractor tile source (ProSource) was outstanding - great advice and great service.
I always wait a few months before reviewing work of this kind in case problems show up after the fact.  GID tweaked any little things we asked and we have not had a single problem  Everything continues to work great.
We have more renovations planned for the future and we're keeping Get It Done Contracting on the speed dial!

"As soon as Mr. Ryan arrived, he was extremely professional. He quickly assessed both problem areas and while his assistant cut away the ceiling tile below the bathroom, he proceeded to the sunroom and started smoothing out the tile that showed signs of cracking. He then went and retrieved his sealer paint and started painting over the stained area. When I went back inside to check on the assistant,  I noticed he place a large amount of painters cloth down to protect the carpet and was cutting through the plaster. When he finished his cuts, he pulled the plaster away and cleared the space for Mr. Ryan to determine where the leak may be coming from. He found and advised the plaster was dry but had mold in it. He then showed me the damage and proceeded to locate what was causing the mold to form. He checked all the joints of the exposed piping from the bathroom and had me run water in the sink, shower and flush the toilet. While he found no actual leak, he did identify wet wood around the seal of the toilet and asked how long it had been since we had that seal replaced. I knew it had been well over 5 years and he determined from experience that normally that is when the seal needs to be replaced since the compounds in that type seal will  breakdown within a 5 year period. He then cleaned up all the mess that was made by cutting the plaster and vacuumed the area thoroughly. His professionalism and knowledge was outstanding and with his expert assistance, he was able to lead me in the right direction to further fix this problem so it would not happen again. We were extremely thrilled that his knowledge kept us from having to spend more money to someone else to determine the same result. I assured Mr. Ryan that will call on his services when we have future projects that need a contractor. I was extremely impressed by Mr. Ryan and his assistant and would recommend his service to anyone."

The original plan was for Diana Construction to do a full remodeling of my Master Bathroom (MBth), as well as a Half Bath (HBth).  The HBth was so-so in condition to start with, but the MBth had sorely needed help since the day I had bought the place.  I had decided back then that when I did have a remodeling it would have marked improvements for my needs (such as a shower with ceiling-high tile, and doors & shower spray high enough to handle a near 6-ft guy without him having to stoop deeply; this also included new chair-height toilets for comfort).  The DC contractor representative, Pete Rivera, walked me through the separate contracts for both rooms, and using the Angie?s list deal for the MBth.  Later he drew up a similar albeit scaled down version of the contract for the HBth.  I need to repeat here that the original Angie?s List deal was meant for bathroom work, and was so applied to the MBth work.  The upgrades and additional requirements in the MBth were what raised to cost so; also the HBth was done as a completely separate contract.  

1. Master Bath:  The work on the MBth included removal of pretty much everything. The team nicely gutted the place to start from scratch (while carefully remaining within the assigned dimensions of that room, in accordance with strict HOA rules).  The team rebuilt the flooring (set in mortar) to equal the old flooring, and then added a layer of dura-rock (tile backer) for my tub/shower to reach the ceiling (for later installation of the tiles themselves.  After the tiling and painting, a cast-iron tub brought up and installed with a tall set of sliding doors.  To make the bath even more special, I had DC install a niche (also tiled) in the middle of the shower wall.  Great for placing shampoo and other items!  To top it off ? and to assist me in maneuvering in the shower with some stability, Pete added a combination short grab-bar & shelf for bath items. My bathroom now has a vanity sporting a granite top this time, with recessed ceiling lights, a larger custom all-wood medicine cabinet, and an additional larger wooden wall cabinet over the new toilet.  Finally, an old rickety bathroom closet was revitalized with new open shelving plus a built-in cabinet below with its own granite top for show and practicality.  In the end, this bathroom was transformed from the poor example it was.  At a mere 52 sqft, it's not like those huge palatial bathrooms you?d typically see in ads, but the effort done within that fixed space was beautiful to me!

2. Half-Bath:  As described above, the HBth work was a scaled down version of the MBth.  Like the MBth, the DC team installed tiling, fresh paint, and cabinetry (scaled down of course) with a new sink, faucet, mirror, a beautiful lighting fixture and again a chair-height toilet.  I?ll be adding a little set of shelves myself, over the toilet, but this bathroom has turned out to be a pretty little package.

Concluding remarks: When all was done, I now have a gorgeous pair of bathrooms!  I admittedly wasn't thrilled that the final costs incurred were a few factors above the original Angie?s Deal; but I fully understand that this was something to be expected, given the fact that I had tacked on additional work to this contract; plus, I had very much wanted to upgrade the quality of both bathrooms.  So I accepted that some of the items required for this task would not come cheap, but they will in the long run give great value and are built to last (e.g., cast-iron tub beats cheapo fiberglass anytime).  The DC people were doing really hard work (tearing up the old tile and mortared flooring, cutting and setting tiles, and hauling that iron tub up three floors), but all acted like pros.  Pete Rivera proved to be an excellent employer and manager ? smart, experienced, with a good eye for décor, and not afraid to get his hands dirty or banged up.  I am impressed!  In the future, I believe there may come the opportunity for more work on my place ? and so I?ll keep DC on my speed dial (and of course, keep an eye out for any Angie?s List deals for that later day).

Ceiling Fans questions, answered by experts

Most ceiling fans have a lifespan of anywhere from five to 15 years or 10 years on average. Just how long your ceiling fan lasts depends on the quality of the parts, how much it’s used, and how well you maintain it. A fan with a weak motor that runs on the medium setting nonstop is likely to have a shorter lifespan compared to a fan with a powerful motor that runs on the slowest setting for air circulation.

To determine if your ceiling box can support a fan, you must check if it is specifically fan-rated. Manufacturers are required to indicate this on the box itself. You may need to remove the existing light fixture to look inside the ceiling box for an inscription stating it is rated for fan use. If you do not see this confirmation, the box is likely not strong enough and must be replaced with a fan-rated junction box. For a proper and safe installation, you should also use a fan brace to secure the new box between the ceiling joists, which provides the necessary support for the fan's weight and motion.

Keeping dust off fans can keep them working optimally and help keep dust mites or bacteria from building up. Dust fans weekly with a duster, microfiber cloth, old pillowcase, or vacuum attachment. You can also try spraying a clean fan with a store-bought dust-repellent product or making a DIY dust-repellent with water and a small amount of liquid fabric softener mixed in.

The most efficient ceiling fan height is 8 to 9 feet from the floor to the fan blades. For ceilings higher than 9 feet, a downrod can be used to lower the fan to the optimal height. This positioning ensures adequate air circulation and maximizes the cooling effect. Remember, fans should be installed at least 7 feet above the floor for safety.

If the fan doesn’t have a switch, connect the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan; connect the green wire to the ground wire; connect both black wires; and connect both blue wires. If yours has a switch, the white and green wires are connected the same way. However, connect the ceiling’s red wire to the light’s black wire and the ceiling’s black wire to the fan’s black wire.
