A kitchen or bathroom remodel touches nearly every trade in a house: framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical, tile, and finish carpentry. Most contractors sub out half of that. Joe does it himself, which means no waiting on three different schedules and no handoffs where details get lost. He has built custom oak vanities from scratch, installed fiberglass shower kits, laid tile, hung new drywall after water damage, and swapped out kitchen counters and cabinet hardware. For a full custom kitchen, Joe partners with a trusted Amish craftsman who builds the cabinets, while Joe handles the demo, the install day, and the countertops himself.
Joe is also honest about the parts of the job he won't take on. He turns down full tile shower installs because it isn't his strongest skill, and instead installs a high-quality fiberglass shower kit that looks close to tile and won't develop the leaks a poorly-set tile shower eventually will. That kind of straight talk is rarer than it should be in this trade, and it's a big part of why his reviews mention honesty by name.
A typical remodel starts with a look at the space and a real conversation about what you want it to feel like when it's done, not just a materials list. From there Joe handles demo, any plumbing or electrical that needs to move, framing changes if a wall is coming down, drywall, tile or flooring, and the finish work: custom cabinets, vanities, hardware, and trim.
Commercial kitchens and bathrooms are part of this too. Joe has done repeat bathroom and vanity work for Pizza King in Decatur, including a custom oak countertop and a full vanity install, plus their drive-up window replacement. If you run a business and need a bathroom or kitchen space updated without shutting down for weeks, that's a call he's used to taking.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Questions
Will you install a tile shower? +
No, and Joe will tell you that up front instead of taking the job anyway. He installs a high-quality fiberglass shower kit instead, which looks close to tile and holds up without the leak risk of a shower he isn't confident tiling himself.
Do you build custom cabinets and vanities, or install pre-made ones? +
Depends on the piece. Joe builds custom oak vanities himself from raw lumber, and for full custom kitchen cabinetry he partners with a trusted Amish craftsman, handling the demo, installation, and countertops on those himself. Pre-made cabinetry is also an option when that's the better fit for the budget.
Can you remodel a commercial bathroom or kitchen? +
Yes. Joe has done ongoing bathroom, vanity, and countertop work for Pizza King in Decatur.
