Can you tell me if any of these actually come up with design ideas. We need work done on our bathrooms but we need some ideas on how it will look on paper

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 |
