This is a post i was hopefully not going to make, but cost of living and fuel are increasing daily. We are reaching almost $6 diesel. I have made the decision to increase rates and implement fuel charge for out of town projects. I will have to sit down and run the numbers for the new rates.

I hate having to do this, but the business has been covering almost $1,000 a month of expenses in hopes prices would come back down and i want to be able to continue providing the best quality service and craftsmanship for years to come! I hope everyone understands!

If you have seen me or my truck at home or in what doesn’t seem like a jobsite the last few days, you are right. My grandma passed away last week. I have had family here and her funeral the beginning of this week.

I sometimes am bad at before pictures, so here are some in progress and after pictures 😅

I did not do the flooring on this project, it was hired by someone else before i was asked to do the whole renovation. And i have never worked with that floor installer before.

This was a huge project with unexpected problems all over, but in the end we corrected everything and got the job done right!

We demo’d this building and found that the whole front room had zero framing and was just foam glued to block and paneling glued to foam. Along with that we found that the load bearing wall over the years of diy remodels had been all hacked apart and was a miracle it was still standing. The two windows were floating framed and pretty much held in by silicone and leaking.

That front room got all new framing, an all new framed load bearing wall, and properly installed windows!

The bathroom was expanded to be more accommodating.

Blocking and backers for misc appliances, cabinets, tvs, etc was also added.

The new conference room go a set of cabinets for storage as well. (Countertop is still on order)

Amongst the huge to do list we found asbestos flooring, which we had remediated thanks to Brent Clegg!

With asbestos removal the owners chose to replace all the ductwork on the side of caution for the health of anyone in that building. And also chose to re insulate the whole building as well.

The electrical was gutted all the way to the service pole and updated thanks to Dean Meyer Electric

During the project it appeared the back side door had an attempt to be broken into (no proof, just visual appearance and damage). So that door got added to the list to replace as well!

Front commercial door was installed by algona glass.

This was phase one with possibly a phase two soon to do the exterior including fixing block, and tuck pointing! So stay tuned!

But for now i am off to this businesses second building location to renovate it as well! And a massive residential renovation with an addition to follow!

Long project post over🤣

Forgot to post this one… whoops!😅

Here we have a 12’x20’ composite deck featuring:
Armadillo decking
Westbury handrails
A drink rail on top of the handrail

It’s simplistic but yet really makes this backyard a space to enjoy!

Finished up a bathroom remodel for a repeat and good customer! This one got gutted and added on to. The old bathroom was outdated and very small! The shower is the addition, along with the addition we also put in a wider door to the bathroom! The onyx shower turned out so well especially with the almost zero entry! It also features a marble tile inlay!

Customers did drywall and the tile floor, i did the rest!

Thank you to 1st plumbing and heating and Dean Meyer Electric

Just wrapped this project up!
Servpro ripped up part of the flooring for a water leak. I came in and tore the rest out, prepped, and installed new 3/4” hardwood flooring! Along with the flooring I replaced the water damaged drywall in the basement. Sadly i forgot to take pictures of the basement 🤦‍♂️
