Default Contractor Needed in Laconia

Hi Guys,
I am looking for referrals for a contractor to do the bathroom Over in our cottage

Very small 4x8 bathroom, but basically a complete gut and start over,
Need it done before Memorial day
Need to move some drain lines, extend some fresh water lines
Install new shower unit, pedistal sink, new toilet and wall cabinet (have these purchased already)
replace subfloor and floor
re-sheet rock walls where needed from renovation
maybe some electrical but do not think so

Looking for a trustworthy person to do the job without me having to be there becuase I am from MA and would then need to drive back and forth

But I will be there to show the job and get estimates.

Hoping this will not kill the budget

I know you have already bought your supplies... but for others considering a bathroom redo, or adding a new bathroom, or upgrading a cabin, consider composting toilets, an inexpensive way to add capacity in your home or bringing the bathroom in from an outside outhouse.

My store Sustain Ability (www.sustainabilitynh.com) sells Sun-Mar composting toilets - inexpensive, odor-free, good for the environment. People who haven't used a composting toilet say "odor-free?" because it goes against their image of a toilet that doesn't flush. The electric units have a fan that draws air in through the seat area and expels it through a vent pipe; the non-electric models have a chimney-stack like vent system. Both whisk odor away from the house.

Composting toilets are legal in New Hampshire. The only place you will have a problem is if you are building a new home and want to eliminate the (unnecessary) septic system. Most places require you to put a septic system in and pretend to use it... even though composting toilets are better for the environment.

There are two types of composting units - self-contained systems (toilet is also the compost chamber) and central unit systems (where one or more toilets empty into a composting tank usually in the basement or crawlspace under the house).

Self contained units are easy to install (open box, put in place, drill hole for vent, put up vent pipe, plug in fan and start using). They range from around $1500 to $2000. Capacity for a self-contained unit is 2-4 full-time, 3-6 weekend use. See http://www.sustainabilitynh.com/prod...osting-toilets for a picture.

Central system units are slightly more work as you need to cut hole in floor, position drain pipe, put toilet in place, position unit in basement arrange vent pipe, plug in and start using. There is an option of a flush toilet (1 pint per flush as opposed to 1.5 gallons typical for plumbed toilet) or a water-free unit, which needs to be positioned straight above the central chamber. These units, with one toilet, cost around $2400 - $3000. Capacity ranges from 3-7 full-time and up to 11 on weekends for the largest unit. See a picture at http://www.sustainabilitynh.com/prod...toilet-systems

I would be happy to answer any questions on composting toilets anyone has.

well i can give you a rough estimate without even looking at the job. i do about 3-5 bathrooms a year and in fact just finished one up last friday in Wentworth Acres and it cost about 6,000. thats about the average cost for a new neoangle 38" with new toilet vanity, lights, fan and we also added tile. if thats something you were thinking about my name is Shaun with Skyscarpentry and can be reached on the web www.skyscarpentry.com thanks

Default Very Happy

I used Scott Compton two years ago to replace a bathroom including installing a tiled walk in shower with a floor to ceiling glass door, a stand-up washer/dryer and granite counter with recessed sink.

He did a great job. I never once had to call him. He was on the job from when it started until it was completed to my satisfaction. I would have him work in my home anytime!
