Bathroom Remodel and Other Finish Work
Hi Everybody,
Starting to plan for new home projects and looking for recommendations for bathroom remodeler and somebody who could cover some foil-backed insulation panels that are currently "decorating" some basement walls. (not sure if it's a sheet rock job or something else). The bathroom remodel is a partial job that would involved some floor tiling, new tub surround (wood), and maybe a new shower stall if we can figure out placement options. Thanks in advance for your replies. |

Walls
" somebody who could cover some foil-backed insulation panels that are currently "decorating" some basement walls. (not sure if it's a sheet rock job or something else)."
This is *exactly* what Dan Perkins (originally recommended by Grady) did for us so well and at such a reasonable price -- some kind of plywood instead of drywall, which we didn't want because messier and a bigger job. And he's right in Wolfeboro. 603 569-5728 http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...ead.php?t=9786 |

When I was on "extended vacation" a couple years ago I was a weekend lead-generator for the local 'Re-Bath' franchise. Previous customers aproached me on the job and told me they were happy with the work. I am no longer affiliated with them but still have my info packet. Their website is www.rebathnh.com 603-625-0303. They are based out of Manchester but they work all over NH, sME and neMA.
They will do the bath area, or full bath remodeling. They will need to send an estimator but if you want to see their mockups, they have a showroom at 61 Elm Street in Manchester. IMO they are a little pricey (don't tell them I said that, I was supposed to say they were '"economical" for the quality') but they have a life-time warranty. They used to have a rep that my wife thought looked like "Val Kilmer," but I digress... Good luck! |

Cate, ask your neighbors who they would use. Ask the local building inspector who he or she would use. Check with the local lumber yard or plumbing supply store. Chances are there are a lot of really good tradesmen right in your area. There is also a good chance that the good local guys don't have a need to advertise. Good luck and enjoy the project!

Did you try 'googling' them?
Cate,
Most of these names can be 'googled' for contact information. |

bath remodel ect.
Hi Cate,
I am a contractor with no shortage of work because of our quality and buisness practices. I am not soliciting your work and not currently accepting new customers. That being said, one thing not to due is use a lead generating service. Go on a referals and reviewing of potential contractors work. A good contractor will not require a deposit until the job starts.(except for a partial on special order items). Have them verify any subs. have GL and comp. insurance, lead certification(prior 76 homes), in good standing with the state of NH.(see nh.gov site buisness listings). Make sure they run clean lettered vehicles and have good equipment. (this shows professionalism). Tom |

HI Cate,
I am currently at the beginning stage of a similar project in Mass. Gutting a second floor bathroom to the studs and starting over. As I am sure most of us today are, we are on a tight budget. Please continue to post things that you learn from your project such as the the previous post. I know our projects are separated by 100 miles or so but if I can take advantage of your experience I would like to. Would love to hear of things you would do differently as you go along. Good experiences with contractors and bad. Good and bad choices in fixtures, flooring, etc.. Hope your project goes quickly and under budget... HCG |
