NOTHING BUT THE BEST! I exclusively install Owens Corning asphalt roofs, not because I pay a fee to be labeled a “preferred Owens Corning contractor,” but because they are the best shingle in the business – period. They feature a superior adhesive tar strip, along with a heavy duty woven fiber nailing strip. Combine that… Continue Reading
TOTAL RENOVATION! This bathroom was in dire need of some TLC. We ripped everything out (all drywall on the ceiling and walls and even the subfloor) so we could start from scratch and do it right! I must say, the end result is fantastic! New tile floor and wainscot, as well as a nice tiled… Continue Reading

Included with the price is new interior solid pine jam trim & casing, as well as solid vinyl trim planks on the exterior. The extra light in… Continue Reading
WHO HATES PAINTING?? I know I sure do, and this homeowner undoubtedly feels my sentiment. His old front porch ceiling had seen better days; bead board sections were falling and paint was peeling. My solution was to smooth out the unevenness by running 1×3 furring strips perpendicular to the joists and drive them in with… Continue Reading
MAKE THIS SHOWER GREAT AGAIN! I complete shower/tub installations all the time, and usually I can be in and out in just 2-3 days. In this instance, the old cottage shower was, in essence, a temporary unit that was not even fastened to the floor or walls. The plumbing ran up through the floor and… Continue Reading
