We are a hands on construction company with 3 full time carpenters on staff and the best subs around. We Look forward to your call.
"This is the second time we have used Dan. He built us a gym, with a sauna install. We hired him back. He is without a doubt the most reasonable and quality I have ever worked with. He does not try to talk you into things, he actually talks you out to make sure he keeps you on budget. We got everything we wanted, and he built us a bar as well. He allowed us to do a few things to save on cost. He is kind, funny, direct, but open to what you want to do. He wants you to be happy with the end product. His subs are all vetted by him and they were all top notch. My only issue, was the delays with subs, but it is 2022 and we all need patience."

If you are not feeling the love then you are not experiencing the Higgins way. It is our aim to be sensitive to how every aspect of a remodel project effects your life. We ask these questions of every project we are undertaking: • Is this project aligned with the homeowners long-term goals as it relates to real estate values, family size etc? • Is this project economically feasible? • How do we do this in a way that minimizes impact on the homeowners daily routine? • Is it feasible for us to meet all of the homeowners expectation at this price point? • Are we dealing with issues as they arise so the homeowner knows what we know? • When the project is completely done does the homeowner feel totally taken care of?
"Higgins is a great company that has outstanding craftsmen in their employ. I've hired them for two major remodeling jobs. I will do it again if the need arises. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful. Call them. You won't be disappointed!"

Laminate countertops last between 10 and 15 years with proper installation and maintenance. Regular cleaning with nonabrasive products and promptly addressing spills helps maintain their appearance and functionality. Avoiding extreme heat and moisture can also extend their lifespan. Ask your countertop installer for recommendations on regular maintenance techniques that will help extend your new laminate countertop’s lifespan.
Yes, installing new laminate over existing laminate countertops is possible. It requires thorough surface preparation, precise measurements, and careful application to ensure proper adhesion. Using the correct adhesive and accurate cutting techniques will result in a secure and attractive surface. Hiring a professional can ensure the finish is durable and long-lasting.
Yes, you can refresh your existing laminate countertops without having to replace them completely. Update your existing laminate countertops by applying a new finish like paint, tile, or a concrete overlay. This process requires thorough cleaning and priming to ensure proper bonding. Precise application techniques will provide a smooth, durable finish that withstands daily use.
To remove stains from laminate countertops, create a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for about five minutes. Gently wipe away the paste with a soft, damp cloth—avoid scrubbing to prevent scratching the surface. Repeat if necessary until the stain is removed.
