"We couldn't be happier with Dave's overhaul of our fireplace. His attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. We feel so lucky to have found him after another contractor flaked out on us. He came to the rescue & did whatever it took to get the job done on time and on budget. He is highly skilled and capable. Several times during the job he suggested things that would enhance the finished product. In doing so he created more work for himself. These upgrades probably added a full day of additional work. He didn't change the cost for the job, he just wants his customers to be happy. His attention to detail and cleanliness blew our minds. He spent a full day getting the room taped off to prevent dust from spreading throughout the house. A full day!?!? And it paid off when the work was done...we're not even hiring a cleaner. More than anything Dave's got a good heart, my wife and I genuinely enjoyed meeting and working with him. (Note: no AI was used in writing this review!)"

"I had a major water flood disaster in my kitchen [punctured ice-maker-hose] that destroyed my hardwood floor and leaked through to the ceiling below damaging the ceiling, walls, backsplash, and countertops to my second kitchen below. The insurance company sent a recovery crew to dry out the floor, ceiling and walls; mold had set-in due to the hot & humid July 2022 temperatures. My insurance company recommended I continue with the recovery company to have my property restored but they were booked 6 weeks-out! I have a frail elderly mother that lives with me, I needed my kitchen back ASAP. John Ryan Construction came highly recommended by a friend. John personally came out to assess the work and by weeks end his crew was working on restoring my kitchen(s). John's crew found mold on the backs of the cabinets that the recovery company missed. His crew used Micro-band to clear the mold from the back of the cabinets. My kitchens are fairly new, 2018 & 2020. However, John's crew found several short-cuts in the installation of my kitchens that his crew corrected. John has a complete crew of highly skilled professionals: carpentry, electrical, flooring, granite-counter-install, plasterers, tile-work... I was blown away by his crew! They worked efficiently and conscientiously to complete the job, showing up on time and cleaning up at the end of each day. My kitchens are restored to better than what they were before the flood! John Ryan Construction was able to work with the budget set by my insurance company's claim. In 3-weeks-time John's crew had my kitchens back to new...I am so grateful to John and his crew!"

"Competent and reliable team, solid schedule, very professional result. Neighbors see their results and often seek their help. Straightforward and knowledgeable. Comfortable interaction since 2015. They stand behind their work and take pride in it. We have a house built in 1838 which needed external repairs to deal with weather, recently becoming more severe.

They rebuilt an elaborate rear yard fence and built a privacy gate. It is our pleasure to write this review, we feel lucky to have them available."

The timeline for raising a sunken living room varies depending on your specific project. Factors affecting the schedule include the size of the area, the complexity of the work, and whether you're installing new flooring throughout adjacent rooms. Your contractor will need to remove existing flooring, build up the sunken area, allow time for materials to set properly, and then install finished flooring. Be sure to discuss the expected timeline with your contractor during the planning phase.
Raising a sunken living room is a significant structural modification that should be done with proper engineering considerations. When performed correctly by qualified professionals, the project shouldn't negatively impact your home's structural integrity. However, improper installation could lead to issues like uneven floors or inadequate support. This is why hiring an experienced and licensed home remodeling contractor who understands the structural requirements and building codes for such modifications is recommended.
Yes, contractors can raise sunken living rooms with concrete slab foundations. The process involves pouring new concrete to fill the depression or building a wood-framed floor system over the existing slab. For a 400-square-foot room with a six-inch depression, filling with concrete would cost approximately $2,400 before adding finished flooring. The approach your contractor recommends will depend on your specific situation, including the height differential and your preferred finished floor type.
When raising a sunken living room, you'll need to consider how the new flooring will transition to adjacent areas. Your options include extending the new flooring throughout connected spaces for a seamless look, using transition strips between different flooring types, or selecting complementary materials that create an intentional design feature. Discuss these options with your flooring professional to determine the best approach for your home's specific layout and your aesthetic preferences.
