"I have been using Mike and his team at Maritime for about 10 years. Found him through this site in its early days. Mike and his team have done over half a dozen jobs for us over the years, everything from fixing leaky roofs, to all sort of interior and exterior repairs. Over the years I have recommended him to friends without hesitation; and I and my friends swear by him work. Mike is hands on, very communicative, and an all around good guy to work with. His job quotes are accurate and very fair. He recently helped us repair interior damage from roof leaks (Mike does not do roofs anymore) over the Winter. He was very busy at the time, but was able squeeze us in and do the job over a few Saturdays. Needless to say: Highly recommend Mike and his team."

Call us Today!!! With over 100 years of combined experience D & R Construction offers a wide range of residential and commercial services. Our focus is on client satisfaction and providing high quality work at a fair and affordable price. Many construction companies have a set hierarchy where owners, project managers, and employees each fall within their respective category. Here at D&R we challenge that hierarchy set up. The owner gets just as dirty as the laborer, and the carpenter gets to know the client just as well as the owner. At D&R we all work together to be the BEST decision a homeowner ever made! We look forward to earning your business.
"In 2021, I hired Eric to fix a water leak in my basement. I paid approximately $8000. Three months after the work was done, there was leaking again. He came over and told me that this was a different leak. After I saved up enough money, I was referred to an expert in basement leaks/foundations. He came over and completed the work. When he was doing the work, he proactively asked me who did the work previously. He said he was clearly not done by someone with knowledge of foundations. I have tried to resolve with Eric. At a minimum, I deserve a refund"

"Estimate: Ryan came out to evaluate the bathroom and was on-time and polite. He showed us that he valued our time and quickly found the trouble spots and confirmed our fears about the water damage. He gave us very reasonable pricing for what we wanted and also suggested several different paths for us to take to not just make the bathroom functional, but to improve its aesthetics for a marginally higher investment. Pre Renovation: Ryan had outlined in his estimate, the cost for the work to be performed. We were able to pick the materials ourselves. He met several times with my wife to go over design options, patterns, colors and educated both of us on the finer points of bathroom design. This included coordinating tile, flooring, vanity, new fixtures with associated plumbing valves as well as of the incidentals. Prior to initiating our job, he staged the area nicely and cleanly and fit his schedule to meet ours. He also had to coordinate with other contractors, on our behalf, and did so professionally. On a site note, I know that dealing with people and helping them decide on big purchases can be frustrating but Ryan showed nothing but patience and understanding in guiding us through the process. From start to finish he was just an exceptionally nice guy which seems rare these days, especially in Covid times. Demolition: Ryan was on time and showed up with another worker. They began by removing the existing tile, it was done quietly and they constantly cleaned as they went. However, when the tile came down in the spot(s) that we were concerned about, we found extensive water damage. When the house had settled it left a gap several feet long between a chimney and the house exterior and water had been getting in for years. The wood had turned to peat and crumbled away by barely touching it. The insulation was ruined. There was nothing left of the wall, nor the studs. Just gone. The floors had similar issues but not to that extent. Without missing a beat, Ryan cleared the debris away, assessed the damage and began repairs. The wall and floor were repaired, new studs installed, new subfloor, new insulation and it looked amazing. When I saw this, I breathed a deep sigh of relief. If this had gone on much longer, who knows what would have happened. Ryan also went through the type of repair would be required to the exterior of the house and made suggestions to help get it solved quickly. The vanity was removed and the bathroom was a blank canvas. Remodel: Ryan and his associate began by doing the tile. I've had friends that had tiling work done and it was scary to look at. That was not the case here. Ryan worked methodically adhering, spacing and leveling each tile. He didn't just slap it up. We decided to go for a white and gray marble tile and he looked at every piece and placed them in an aesthetically pleasing pattern where each time would compliment the pattern of the tiles adjoining it. Where, under the window, tile had previously just been shoved in to fill a gap, Ryan designed a little window sill and just made it fantastic. He has such a great attention to detail and he doesn't rush. He takes the time needed to do it right and it shows. The floor came next and we went with a slate gray porcelain tile. One thing that I noted is the pattern of the tile wasn't necessarily straight on all of the pieces. Ryan noticed it too and was able to lay them so not only they would be straight and true but that the pattern in the tile would be symmetrical as well. The next thing that was obvious was the tub and toilet. Ryan let us know about glazing options that we are going to do at a later date but gave us some recommendations of whom to go to. But in relation to the tub/toilet/vanity came the new plumbing fixtures. He helped us there as well. The fixtures in place were dilapidated and heavily oxidized, which makes sense being 50 years old at this point. So we chose replacements. Ryan found a great plumber to do it for us. The copper lines were replaced with new pex. The valves were all installed and the plumber quickly and expertly installed full Moen hardware. It was surprisingly painless. Ryan also helped us find a great deal on a vanity with real Carrara marble. He picked it up and installed it with the plumber and again, it went in quickly and easily, which I suspect is because he did his research up front on which one was best. Result: My wife and I did not have the money nor the plan to do a complete bathroom renovation. We wanted to do the tiles, fix water damage, and potentially update the plumbing hardware. We had a major problem and wanted to throw a band aid on it. With Ryan's skilled craftsmanship and a marginal increase in cost of materials it feels like we have gotten a complete bathroom makeover. We have to do the ceiling, the wallpaper and the mirror later, as well as glaze the tub and toilet, but what was done looks simply amazing. The walls are strong again, the tiles and marble are breath taking, the grout work is clean, and even the porcelain floors feel soft on my feet. I feel like I got a 75k bathroom straight off of HGTV when I didn't even expect it. Overall: This is the best experience I had with a contractor in all of my years. He quickly saw what we needed. Gave us options. Was super nice and friendly and educational in helping us narrow our design decisions. Gave us a great price which was super competitive. Planned the job well. Coordinated with other contractors well. Was polite and cleaned after every single day and left no mess behind. Finished everything he promised and more. Looks fantastic. Now if you've read everything I've wrote until this point, let me finish with this. Ryan has exceptional skill, integrity with his work and he is a super trustworthy guy. I know I have more projects around here to do, and Ryan is the one I will be calling for them."

Sealing grout delivers excellent value by creating a moisture barrier that prevents water penetration, staining, and deterioration. Unsealed grout becomes a magnet for dirt and moisture, which can lead to discoloration, mold growth, and eventual breakdown of the grout structure. Regular sealing maintenance creates a protective barrier that not only preserves your tile's appearance but also simplifies routine cleaning and extends the overall lifespan of your installation.
When combining professional grout cleaning with sealing services, expect to pay between $3 and $4 per square foot for challenging surfaces like natural stone or heavily soiled areas. This comprehensive approach ensures your grout is thoroughly cleaned before sealer application, maximizing the effectiveness and longevity of the treatment. The cleaning process removes embedded dirt and contaminants that might otherwise become sealed into the grout, providing superior long-term results.
Certain grout formulations, particularly epoxy-based products, come with built-in moisture resistance that eliminates the need for additional sealing. These specialized grouts naturally repel water and resist staining without supplemental treatment.
Additionally, if your existing grout still demonstrates good water-beading properties from previous sealing, immediate reapplication may be unnecessary. Professional contractors evaluate your specific grout type, condition, and location before making recommendations about sealing requirements.
An average DIY grout sealing project for a 160-square-foot area requires about three hours, though this timeline can extend significantly for first-time applicators or challenging spaces. Professional contractors can complete the same area in two to five hours, depending on project complexity and required preparation. The experience gap often shows in application consistency and efficiency, with professionals delivering more uniform coverage in less time than most homeowners can achieve, especially on initial attempts.
