What Richard does

Remodeling contractor first. Flooring specialist too.

The goal is not to sell products. It is to understand the space, explain the options, coordinate the details, and build a finished result that makes sense for the client.

Bathroom Remodeling

Showers, tile, vanities, trim, fixtures, trade coordination, and full bathroom transformations.

Flooring Installation

Hardwood, engineered wood, LVP, laminate, tile, repairs, transitions, and finish details.

Residential Remodeling

Repairs, trim, finish carpentry, room updates, and practical improvements from planning through completion.

Featured project

A complete bathroom transformation

This project went well beyond a surface update. The room was stripped back, rebuilt, waterproofed, tiled, finished, and coordinated from the rough work through the final fixtures.

The process

From demolition to the details

Progress photos matter because they show what is behind the finished room. This project required demolition, framing and repair work, cement board, waterproofing, tile layout, flooring, trim, fixture coordination, and final cleanup.

The finished result is important. The steps underneath it are what make the result last.
