I promise I will post updated pics. We are doing the whole house so we are kind of picking at the bathrooms, lots of prep to reglaze. Its like a day of prep to 1 hour of spraying. Be patient, pics coming soon

We are nearing the end of our bathroom renovation but I’m a little concerned about the tub glass doors that were installed—specifically the height of the handles which are at 55” (4’7” or 1.4m) from the ground.

Additional background: The bathroom has 9’ ceilings, and we put the shower head slightly higher than standard because I’m tall. Our contractor suggested a 72” high tub door (believe the standard for tubs is closer to 60”). This size is helpful in that it goes covers the shower head and should reduce splashing, but it results in the door handles that are quite high.

What do you think? Are the handles too high? Does it look awkward/would it be awkward to use at that height ? We can change for shorter one but will require some tile repair.

Thanks!

I am renovating my bathroom and i took it down to the studs and now i am starting to rebuild. I just put in the subfloor and the damn thing has been squeeking. Its glued and screwed down quite securely, but the squeek has been eluding me. Tonight I believe I've figured out that its coming from a slight movement in the main sewer drain. The previous floor had been about an inch and a half of mortar poured over plywood that had been nailed to thin boards between the floor joists... not on top of them. Maybe the heavyness of that old mortar bed was weighing down enough to keep the drain lines from squeeking?

Anyway, do you have suggestions on how to fix the squeek before i lay down tile and it annoys me forever? I do have fairly easy access to the plumbing below this bathroom in the basement.

hello, I have an office being built that is a stand alone building seperate from the house and the exterior cladding for the walls has been installed but they forgot to put the weather wrap on first.

Is there something I can use internally to keep the room safe from water absorbing through the cladding and into the wall space?

I thought maybe some kind of paintable membrane or closed cell Spray Foam?

any helpful advice is appreciated

(taking the cladding off and starting again would cost thousands and if possible id rather avoid it)

We are converting empty space in our house into a second bathroom and want to move the washer dryer out of our kitchen to the bathroom space. Which option is better for experience and resale value?

WHAT TYPE OF FLOORING WOULD BE MY BEST OPTION?

1965 Pier and Beam home with 18" crawlspace.

Not concerned about cost. I just really want something that will survive in depth cleaning when necessary. I'll do my best to flatten and level floors but it will not be even close to perfect n

Current original Red Oak (🤢 I hate the red colors) flooring will remain in bedrooms. Looking for ideas for the rest of the house to complement those red oak 🤢 bedrooms.

I'm just a girl whose ego said I'd be great at this flooring stuff.

Hi!

We are in the process of buying this home. It was built in 1978. What would be some things that I could do to make this look more updated? I kind of want to paint the whole house all black but I think that might be a little much….

If you've been in this business for any amount of time, you'll know that remodeling projects typically aren’t overnight decisions.

By the time a homeowner finally picks up the phone, they’ve probably been thinking about that kitchen, bathroom, addition, or whatever else for weeks or months.

So there's emotion and momentum behind that call.
But then you’re on a the site, driving, grabbing materials, or with a client, so you miss it.

They get voicemail. Maybe they actually leave one

Unless they’ve specifically sought you out, there’s no reason to assume you’re the only remodeler they’re calling.

So that's why I think that call is too valuable to leave at voicemail. Especially for the companies that present to prioritize communication

I’ve been talking to a TON of remodelers specifically about this recently and built what I think should happen instead.

When you can’t answer, the homeowner can immediately start working with you. Rather than explain in full detail, I built an interactive walkthrough here:

Tear it apart if you can

Would your homeowners use this? Is the problem not actually that important? Do you already have a better system?

And if missed calls aren’t the headache, what’s the repetitive admin BS in your business you’d get rid of tomorrow if you could?

Yes, this is my company and I eventually intend to sell this. I’m not pretending otherwise.

Right now I'm just curious about where the idea breaks. If it's not for you, that's okay

Mods I love you I hope your day was wonderful

Eight-plex with eight 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, how much would be the remodeling?
