New Rules of Remodeling
When remodeling a bathroom, the cost of removing the tub and tile alone can be substantial. Adding the tub, tile and installation will add to the bill. Now what if there was a way to eliminate the majority of these costs. In a most cases, there is a way.
Refinishing your tub is an exceptional way to keep the beauty of your tub in a variety of different coors. The tile surround above the bathtub can also be refinished as long as the tiles are structurally sound. This is truly a beautiful finish and we do encourage our customers to consider this approach for real savings. Beyond the tub finish, we install the vanity, toilet, floor tile, trim, finish prep walls, fresh paint and new furnishings for a beautifully finished bathroom.(before and after pictures at right)

The number one best way to save money is hiring a trustworthy contractor. It may seem really overwhelming to hire a stranger to come into your home to work, but keep in mind, contractors and tradesmen are just people. There are a few essential questions when choosing the right company:
1) ...are you licensed and insured?
2) ...do you have references?
3) ...can I see pictures of your work?
4) ...how long will the job take?
5) ...when will you be available to start?
6) ...what is your office address (this can be a home address, but not a post office box #)
7) ...have you had any legal actions against you?
Keep in mind, you are the employer hiring the right employee for the job. Ask the questions and then, listen. Your gut feeling (and proof of documentation) will be enough to land your man/woman.These few minutes of due diligence can save you thousands of dollars.
Crown moulding installation
Sometimes, when doing projects around the house it might seem a better idea to get a professional in to do the job. After all, they do it on a day-to-day basis and they should know what they're doing. However, why should they have all the fun. Why not participate AND save a few bucks in the process. Our idea is this: We install the crown moulding and you paint and caulk after it's up.That simple. You can save up to 30% on labor.
