"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"This house was a nightmare, many things were hidden and did not know until I started tearing up the floor and found joists were bad and so was the foundation. I called several companies and settled on Neil deWit construction.  He spent lot of time looking it over and trying to come up with the best plan to move forward with since there was so much to rebuild.
As you will see in the pictures I took, it was a major undertaking.  Basically removing everything below the 2nd floor and supporting the whole house while they removed the foundation, flooring and walls.  Lots of people came by to look, as there hasn't been too many houses that looked like this.  Neil's foreman and his crew are top notch and know what they are doing, and take pride in what and how they do it. If they can't fix it right, they don't want to do it. Seems like a pretty good idea since that way they don't have a shoddy job that someone else will have to come back in and fix it right.
So now we are at the place of putting on the siding but I wanted to post this even before they completed the job because as you see in the pictures it is quite an improvement. Once they are completely done I will post again.
I will call this crew again in a heart beat to fix any kind of problem with a house. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed in their work."

"My husband and I had spent 13 years remodeling our 1873 house by ourselves. When it came time to do our dream project of adding a sunroom, finding a contractor to do the work instead of doing it ourselves was a very important decision to us. We met with several contractors and knew instantly that John and his son Nate at Addition Doctors were the people we wanted taking on this project. John and Nate were so great to work with. They were the only company we met with who gave us a computer generated model of what the project would look like so we had a very clear vision of the end product. They were the only company to quote us the project under the budget we told them we had to work with. They kept us up to date at every step of the project and there were never any surprises about cost or timing. They had great ideas for the project when we weren't exactly sure what should or could be done. We love our finished sunroom. The quality of work and service they gave was excellent. We would highly recommend Addition Doctors for anyone who is looking to have quality work done to their home."

"Dave came right away and worked on getting an estimate for us. Unfortunately our insurance company fought us at every turn but Dave didnt give up he went to bat for our family to get what repairs approved that he felt needed done and what was best for our family. When they finally agreed his team went right to work. He has always been available when I had questions and has went above and beyond on numerous things in regards to repairs to our house no matter the extra costs. This company is here to make sure you the customer is happy at all costs."

"Great ! Owner Tim came out and did an emergency tarp -- in the rain, as my BR ceiling was leaking. Jan ( office manager ) worked with my insurance until the bid & repairs were enough to give me a great outcome. Their repair guy was professional, friendly and did a good job. I would not hesitate to use them again & to recommend them !"

"Scott was very professional in all aspects of our extreme home repair. We had major damage from termites, and what was supposed to be a simple wall repair job took a few turns to say the least. My phone calls were answered promptly or I would get a call back in the next few minutes. We had a huge project on our hands and luckily we found Scott to handle it. Quality work. Hire him."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

"Even though I had a small repair job compared to a remodel project, Kitchen and Bath treated me as if I was their most important customer. I found them on Angie's list and was immediately contacted by phone and email. As I was going out of town, Kitchen and Bath worked around my schedule. I was given an estimated time and then contacted by Dave within the window of time I was given. Dave determined the problem, went to get the part needed, and repaired my leaking water supply line in no time. Price was reasonable as well. Thank you Kitchen and Bath. I will use you again."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Nevada, IA

Medium-density fiberboard performs well in kitchen cabinet applications when properly finished and protected. The material offers excellent dimensional stability, maintaining its shape better than solid wood when exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations. A quality sealer or laminate covering provides essential protection against moisture exposure. Many commercial cabinet manufacturers regularly use MDF for cabinet doors and components due to its smooth finish and painting properties. With proper installation and maintenance, MDF cabinets can provide years of reliable service in kitchen environments.

Medium-density fiberboard weighs considerably more than plywood of equivalent thickness due to its dense, uniform composition. This additional weight requires stronger mounting hardware and support structures, particularly for shelving or wall-mounted applications. The heavier nature of MDF can complicate handling during installation, often requiring additional assistance for larger panels. For weight-sensitive applications, consider ultralight MDF varieties that maintain structural integrity while reducing overall mass.

Medium-density fiberboard can function in bathroom environments when properly selected and protected. For bathroom applications, moisture-resistant MDF varieties offer enhanced protection against humidity and occasional water exposure. All exposed edges and surfaces require thorough sealing with appropriate primers and waterproof finishes. Areas with direct water contact need additional protection through laminate or specialized waterproof coatings. Proper bathroom ventilation helps extend the lifespan of MDF installations by reducing ambient moisture levels.

Medium-density fiberboard production utilizes wood byproducts and manufacturing waste, reducing demand for virgin timber. Traditional MDF manufacturing incorporates formaldehyde-based adhesives that can release emissions over time. Many manufacturers now offer formaldehyde-free or reduced-emission options for health-conscious consumers. The material's consistent quality and efficient manufacturing process result in minimal waste during production. When selecting MDF, look for products with environmental certifications that verify sustainable manufacturing practices and acceptable emission levels.
