"We recently hired Joe & 2T Construction to completely remodel our kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They began by handling the full demolition of our old kitchen with care and efficiency, making sure to minimize disruption to the rest of our home. Throughout the remodel, their communication was excellent—they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to answer our questions. He help design the new kitchen layout and had really great plans detailing the new kitchen layout. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding.

My name is Gary Tallman, and I am a semi-retired General Construction Remodeling Contractor of 35 years to Eastern Iowa. We are the home of the perfect install. A few years ago I decided to slow down a little and to simplify things a bit. We did this by narrowing our business advertising focus to primarily market for the repair and replacement of residential and commercial doors, windows, and skylights. It's been a perfect match for me because it takes a full skill set to do this work, and it helps to keep me off the taller ladders..and that makes me a happy craftsman :) I'd like to mention that we chose to honor the community by offering senior and military discounts. D.B.A Cedar Rapids Entry & Window.

Yes, you can add a bathroom on a concrete slab, but the crew will need to saw-cut the slab, trench in new supply and drain lines, and then patch the concrete without weakening the foundation. Working with an experienced plumber and concrete pro keeps the structure intact and helps the new bathroom pass inspections.
schedule covers planning, permits, framing, rough-ins, finishes, and punch-list items.
Larger spaces or extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades can stretch the timeline, while a simple powder-room conversion may wrap up faster. Hiring licensed pros helps keep the schedule on track and the work up to code.
The best location depends on how your family uses the space. An upstairs bath keeps nighttime trips close to the bedrooms, while a first-floor powder room is handy for guests and everyday traffic.
Think about where plumbing lines already run, how much square footage you can spare, and what layout changes fit your budget. A pro can map out the smartest spot and handle any code hurdles.
With the right planning, you can carve out a bathroom in almost any part of the house. A successful addition requires sufficient space, proper ventilation, and access to plumbing and electrical systems. Structural modifications and adherence to building codes are essential.
This process demands careful planning and the coordination of specialized professionals who ensure that the new space meets all code requirements and functional needs.
Under specific conditions, adding an extra bedroom can boost home value more than adding a bathroom. Home value is driven by overall configuration, market demand, and functional balance. A new bedroom influences the property’s appeal in different ways, while an additional bathroom enhances living convenience. Evaluating the current layout and market trends determines the optimal choice for maximum value.
