"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

"While the caulking job itself was fine, not much care was taken with the existing tub glaze. In the removal of the old caulk, the tub glaze was torn and scraped. Unfortunately, I was not very satisfied with the outcome."

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.
