Common Remodeling Complaints
You might be (understandably) nervous about choosing a contractor. Getting it wrong can be both expensive and time consuming.
These 3 issues cause most remodeling frustrations
1. Poor Communication – Unreturned calls. Surprise visits. Unexplained changes.
2. Suprise costs – from poor planning & buying materials mid-project.
3. Poor Coordination – between contractor & designer resulting in mismatched expecations, regret & work being redone at your expense.
Watch for these during the estimate process and ask your contractor about them.
Our whole team is trained and focused on providing the best service and creating the best results for you and your home.

Other Options for Remodeling Contractors in Tallahassee
Here’s a straightforward comparison of some other reputable local contractors you might consider if we don’t align with your project goals:
Yur Bath
If you’re looking for a quick and affordable bathroom refresh, Yur Bath specializes in cost-effective renovations completed within 1-3 days using acrylic shower panels. They’re also experts in tub and tile refinishing.
Dustin Wells Construction
A family owned company known for projects ranging from storm repairs and commercial construction to new homes. If you need diverse building skills and a showroom driven design process is less of a priority they can be a good choice.
Pristine Renovation
Led by a former law enforcement officer, who started out flipping houses before transitioning into a remodeling contractor. They do office retrofits and rental property updates as well. A choice if you need to economize with lower cost materials and fewer design driven changes to the electric plan or layout.
Kessler Construction
Known as a premier custom home builder in Tallahassee. They deliver high-end results and closely match the service and quality of McManus Kitchen and Bath. Call Kessler for large additions or custom home construction.
Special Note: Avoid Franchises
There are franchise like Bath Fitter or Max Home as well who offer quick solutions for bathroom remodels. We do not reccommend them. They have a pushy sales process, use low quality materials and unqualified labor for installs. Choose Yur Bath instead.
