Home Improvement

As a home improvement contractor we can provide you with quality remodeling, flooring,painting and even handyman projects that are always being put aside. Home repairs are more important than remodeling, you need to keep up with your home so small things do not turn into large issues. Spring and fall are good time to walk around your home and make an assessment of what needs to be done. Caulking and painting are very important factors in the up keep of the exterior of your home. Poor cauking will allow moisture to get behind trim and siding which can, if left unrepaired, lead to more costly repairs. Contact us and we would be glad to walk around your home interior andexterior to help you decide what needs to be repaired or replaced.

Kitchen Remodeling

The kitchen is the most popular gathering place in the home these days and remodeling the kitchen will make the biggest impression over any other remodeled room. You will need to consider the current layout of your present kitchen and whether you are going to be adding or removing walls, as these are factors that will greatly impact your budget. And don't forget to update the flooring. It is also wise for you as the homeowner to shop around for the styles and materials that you would like to incorporate into your new kitchen. We have included a few links to other websites on our menu. Do not rely solely on home remodeling contractors to show you options as they often have their own ideas and materials that they want to use. Shop around, it's a big investment and after all you, as the homeowner have to live with it everyday.

Bathroom Remodeling

Remodeling the bathroom is your chance to choose products that can greatly reduce the stress of everyday life.  Install a custom shower with natural stone and a soothing water spray, and you can relax in a spa environment.  Of course, the shower is not the only feature you will want to change.  Replacing the flooring with new tile or stone flooring to match your shower, a new vanity and water saving toilet will complete the look. And if you are thinking of selling, an updated bath is a major selling point. And unlike those companies that want to come in and cover the existing tile, we remove the tile and drywall and replace it with cement board. By covering the old tile and not opening the wall you don't know if there is mold growing in your walls. And we all know mold is unhealthy.

Painting

Painting can dramatically change the look of any room, whether it is just a fresh coat or a whole new color.  Painting the ceiling a color other than white can give your room a bold new look too.  Choose a shade darker then the walls to "lower" the ceiling and make it cozy.  Choose a shade lighter to open up the space. It is recommended that you use flat based paints on walls.  Flat finishes hide more imperfections on walls versus eggshell, satin or gloss finish paints. Use gloss in areas that need more protection and cleaning such as the kitchen. bath, doors and trim.

Wood Rot Repair

As a home improvement and painting contractor we see a lot of rotten wood. Rotten wood is found on corner boards and brick molding on your doors and windows, and if you have siding that is wood or masonite they act like a sponge soaking up moisture. On the surface it may seem like a small area, but it is what you can not see that is usually the bigger problem. Many times it can be structural damage and that is a serious problem. There are places around your home that are not visible from the ground and those are areas that can lead to major issue's. The majority of these problems can be avoided by doing semi-annual walks around your home. When replacing the rot you should use materials that are  moisture resistant such as PVC, MiraTEC and siding that uses fiber cement board.
