My name is Patsy Cicala Jr., I am the recipient of the Super Service Award for 2016 -2022 from Angie's List. BEST WAY TO GET IN TOUCH IS pcicala1@gmail.com, or call 302-245-5606. I retired here 11 years ago in Sussex County after a rewarding career in the field of Environmental Science and General Contracting in upstate New York. When you retire, you should have an exit plan.... I, however, am finding sitting down to read a book or taking a long stroll on the beach will result in either me being placed in a mental institution, or being shot by my wife (she says I am driving her crazy). Therefore, after renovating three homes in the area, I have decided to offer my services as a handyman. My wife says that I can do small repairs including bathrooms, kitchens, and small additions, porches and decks, Check out my Photo Gallery to see if I can fulfill your needs
"I was very pleased with Something Constructive. Patsy is a great guy, very personable, and you quickly feel like family. He is creative, has a keen eye, and is a great problem solver. He and his crew are great – so pleasant and respectful. I actually enjoyed seeing them each day! They work together well, are meticulous – the work quality is excellent, and they were very neat. My neighbors were very impressed with how nicely they maintained the area while working. Patsy and his crew stayed on schedule and he is really good at keeping you posted along the way. I highly recommend!!!"

Most standard cabinet installations require one to three days when using prefabricated units. Custom cabinet projects extend to one or two weeks due to the precise measurements, fabrication, and finishing required.
Factors affecting the timeline include cabinet complexity, bathroom accessibility, and whether plumbing modifications are needed. Projects requiring significant plumbing changes or working in occupied homes may take longer to complete due to additional coordination requirements.
For bathroom environments, moisture resistance is the primary durability factor. Plywood offers excellent performance due to its layered construction that resists warping and moisture damage. Properly sealed solid wood provides natural beauty with good longevity when maintained correctly.
MDF can work well when thoroughly sealed, but often doesn't last as long in high-humidity environments. The ideal material choice depends on your specific bathroom conditions, maintenance habits, and budget constraints.
While kitchen cabinets can be repurposed for bathrooms, they often require modifications. Standard kitchen cabinets are deeper (24 inches versus 21 inches for bathroom vanities) and taller than bathroom cabinets, potentially creating awkward proportions in smaller bathrooms.
Additionally, kitchen cabinets may need enhanced moisture protection for bathroom environments. With appropriate adjustments and proper sealing, kitchen cabinets can provide a cost-effective alternative for certain bathroom layouts.
Quality bathroom cabinets last between 10 and 20 years, depending on construction quality and maintenance. Warning signs that replacement might be necessary include warped or swollen cabinet components, persistent mold issues, or deteriorating door and drawer functionality.
Cabinets in well-ventilated bathrooms with proper moisture control enjoy longer lifespans. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to minor damage can significantly extend cabinet life.
Basic cabinet replacements that maintain the existing plumbing configuration rarely require permits. However, projects involving plumbing relocations, electrical modifications, or structural changes necessitate proper permitting.
Permit fees and requirements vary significantly between municipalities, so it's advisable to consult your local building department before beginning work. Working with licensed professionals can simplify the permitting process, as they're familiar with local code requirements and application procedures.
