Master Bath Remodel and adjoining hallway
|
|
I chose to have a small master bathroom completely renovated due to its age and condition. Avi of Finesse Remodeling and Consulting followed up with me immediately upon receiving my request for an estimate.
The job involved demolition of the bathroom, closing off an existing door into the bathroom from the hallway, refinishing the new wall area on each side, rough plumbing, rerouting main drain for the shower, replacing rough plumbing for sink in vanity, building a custom shower with seat, tile for shower and floor, granite for vanity, a new cabinet vanity, and seamless shower glass enclosure and door.
In addition, they upgraded the electrical outlets to meet code, installed new lighting fixture, and installed a new three/cabinet mirrored medicine chest.
Avi also noted the absence of smoke detectors in all the bedrooms and missing carbon monoxide monitors and told me that the building inspector would be looking for those upon final inspection. He had his men buy the needed units and install them.
He then followed up with a personal home visit to give me a bid on the work. Once I decided to work with him, he came back with a very professional binder with all the appropriate paperwork -- I didn't have to ask to see a license, or a bond -- everything was provided in his paperwork, in advance of starting the work. Any questions I might have had were quickly answered -- if I sent him an email, I usually got a response within an hour or two. If I called him, he called back within a few hours.
The job involved messy demolition, and his crew of two were the best workers -- extremely courteous, extremely neat, tidy -- they covered up everything, cleaned up everything, each and every day. Once the rough construction was near completion, Avi arranged for me to go with him to the tile store to pick out tile.....It was a fun day!! So many selections, and Avi's sense of style and design was really an asset -- when you have so many choices available, you need a voice of reason and practicality, and Avi was there for that. He also steered me to a stone yard to pick out a piece of granite for the vanity countertop. His connections there were also an asset in helping me get exactly what I wanted. It is quite a "coup" to have the salespeople at a supplier's store comment on what a delight it is to work with my contractor! The man has never made an enemy!
I also had the opportunity to go to his fabricator, at his suggestion, to tell the fabricator exactly where to cut the granite to take advantage of the pattern. These guys were also terrific -- they came out and installed the granite, also being extremely clean and neat. You'd never know they had been there the area was so clean!
The work also involved closing off a doorway and making a solid wall, thus affecting a small hallway -- they refinished all of the walls, painted all the walls and woodwork -- painted the bathroom in the colors I wanted -- in essence, they made my dream come true.
I would, (and plan to) definitely use Avi and his company again for any work I might need. He and his workmen are always prompt, always do their work, clean up and go home. He and his company are A++++ in my book!
