Cosmetic Improvements

My husband and I watched our bathrooms go from outdated to depressing over a 10
year period. We actually spends hundreds, maybe thousands of our savings addressing some of the individual issues with out any long term success or cosmetic improvements. We had remodeling done in our home before and while it made a great improvement to the room we had done, it was a life disrupting experience. We were expecting an equally traumatic experience when we contracted workers to do two bathrooms at the same time. We were delighted at our inaccurate forecast. The workers came in and at the same time in the morning every day. They curtained off the room they were demolishing, making certain that a minimal amount of dust and dirt left the room. They cleaned up every night before they left. The work they did was impeccable. Our very old house is crooked. My husband and i never considered how difficult the tile border we selected would be in a sloping bathroom. Somehow, through skilled craftsmanship, they made the bathroom stunning, using the border we selected.The crew was hard working, skilled and really nice. We is a true creative visionary and his trained eye and his knowledge guided the crew through some “old house” surprises!
