Finally done with this project after 13 days. It was a conversion from a bathtub to a shower with custom shelves in the closet and some new styled lighting as well as a fancy toilet. Definitely one of our larger projects, but happy customers nonetheless.

For the past few weeks, we have been remodeling this bathroom. It was a bit far away in Newark, but we got it done. I really appreciate referrals. This fella is a 150 crane operator and really had a hard time finding someone to work in his home when he is not there. We took care of everything and I sent him updates daily. I will post all of the pictures as soon as we are completely done.

For the past few days we have been painting a condo. We used Sherwin Williams best paint Emerald series. Pretty good stuff. It took a total of 9 gallons to complete all the walls and ceilings. It’s expensive paint. We thankfully get a huge discount which we share with our clients. They were very happy folks.

Today we freshened up the paint in a couple of rooms for another old timer and installed some trim in their bathroom.

This bu**er was waiting for us at the end of the week. Demolish 650 ft.² of marble floors with an inch of cement under them. Two days I would like to forget. Thank God we had a crew behind us to pick up the 6 tons of refuse.

This week we had a few small tasks and a whopper. This lady had a completely clogged underground drain so we dug a new trench under her unilock pavers, buried a new pipe and replaced them like new.

For the last couple days, I figured I’d help another friend out to quickly rip out his bathroom floor and replace it. Of course, the first thing that happens when I take his toilet out is the water supply doesn’t shut off so now we have plumbing to do. Got it squared away for him, but unfortunately, we only got two tiles shy of finished. Gotta head back when I get a moment to help him get his toilet back and the floor grouted will post the completed pictures soon.

This week we ventured over to one of my friends houses. Last year we finished building his deck after the previous person started it and left without completing what he promised.About 20% of the deck was built and we completed the rest last year for him. Now that it has had a chance to dry out it was time for a good old fashioned oil staining. We banged this out in one long day. The stairs were last as I’m sure you can all see in the photos.

For the past couple days we’ve been helping out a good family friend. This deck was about 20 years old with some rot, chipping and peeling. She needed some love. We began with some serious scraping, a good coating of sodium hypochlorite ( algae/dirt/mold ) remover followed by a good dose of pressure washing. She was a little rough but we took care of the issues. This particular deck was stained both on top and bottom and I really wanted to ensure the best coverage so I stained the deck with a brush primarily . While researching the best product I was shocked to see that the deck restoration product lines at the big box stores resulted in many complaints surrounding lack of durability. Crazy prep required and very expensive material. I decided that an elastomeric coating would be the best choice for this application. We used 3.5 gallons of Sherwin William’s deck and dock. I am so pleased with the product and results. I certainly hope our good friends are as well.

Today we were in Lagrange helping out our friends at KOD remodeling. This customer had a severely unleveled basement floor. There was a contractor before us but she kicked him out because he brought a pallet of $50 a bag self leveler in order to correct the floor. Unfortunately you can’t put that stuff 3 inches thick. My friend Kevin specializes in leveling floors with his very old fashion and trademark cement leveling techniques. I unfortunately did not get a picture of the original jacked up floor. I did get a couple pics of the cement once it was nearly done. We came in to put the commercial flooring down, cut the doors,install baseboard and shoe trim and install 2 transitions. I think it came out pretty nice. 😊
