Hi ive been doing interior and exterior work on homes since i was young i have 14 years expirence with painting drywall building fences and etc if your lookin for a good honest construction company im your guy
"These men will steal your money and are dangerous. Do not allow them into your home and do not give them your money. We hired Tye Dowdy to install flooring in 2 of our bathrooms. Tye was paid half to start the job and bailed on day 3. He broke our front door handle off and removed it. Among other small damages we will need to fix Tye left the job less then 50% completed and either showed up late or left early every day. On day 2 we were expecting Tye to have finished the project having quoted that it should only take "3-4 hours to complete". He was a no show with no communication. The next day Tye told my wife the reason he didn't show up was due to s situation on another on a job site. Tye said that a few of his employees were fired and went back to the property and smashed the walls with 2x4's and stole 4k worth of tools from the owner of the house. These men are dangerous and unprofessional in every way. Do not make the same mistake we made."

"We requested a quote to remove and install a bathtub with shower surround in the same location. Didn’t need anything fancy, just something basic. It did require a plumbing modification to accommodate a standard wall mounted shower head since the current configuration has a handheld shower head which connects to the tub faucet. Rep arrived 30 minutes late because he got lost but didn’t call to say he was running late. I had to contact the office to find out if he was still coming and they apologized for the delay and called me back with an update. Rep seemed knowledgeable but we were blown away by the quote of $15,300! That is ridiculous and we will look elsewhere."

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
