"

A few years ago, we interviewed several top-rated contractors from Angie?s List to add a bathroom to our first floor. Dennis Fecteau of A+D Renovations was our favorite of the bunch?he took careful measurements, suggested solutions, and presented a formal proposal. In the end, we decided not to move forward with the work?

BUT, fast forward 3 years: Last fall we moved into a new house that needed a LOT more work. Dennis was first on my list to call! He came to our home three different times to ensure an accurate proposal for all the different projects we wanted to do. Dennis always arrived on time, with a friendly smile and ready for the day. He usually brought a team with him (Marky and Kenny), and they were also extremely friendly, polite, and conscientious about caring for our home. They were so sweet to my 18-month old daughter as well! Occasionally, Dennis brought in subcontractors (electric and heating), and they were great too. I never had a single concern about leaving them in my home day after day?in fact, Dennis even offered to let my dog out on days that we had to leave the dog at home! They always asked permission before doing anything?for example, during the bathroom demolition process, they wanted to dispose of the material out a second floor window in order to avoid dragging it down our stairs and damaging the walls. They laid out protective coverings on the floors and window sill, and you would never even know that was the path they took! They always cleaned up nicely at the end of each day.



Dennis displayed a high degree of professionalism in everything from the proposal to taking the time to clearly explain all my options?right down to the trim used on the new microwave shelf. No task was too big or small?he treated each one with equal care. And any extra work (outside of the contract) was always detailed in writing in an invoice so I could clearly see the fees, which were fairly priced.


I highly recommend A+D renovations for any kind of work you may need in your home. I look forward to having Dennis and his team back in my home for another project someday.

"Project took only a small bit longer than projected but much of that was due to slow delivery of certain supplies due to the pandemic. We were very pleased with the timing. I do encourage all project managers to over-communicate with the home-owners. Our only frustration was not being fully included in daily schedules. We would definitely hire Dave Johnson Building/Remodeling again."

"Kaydn repaired water damage in the ceiling. Sheetrock was replaced and it looks great. We really like doing business with Kaydn. He's polite, does what he says he's going to do, and was able to do the work quickly. We will continue to use him for other work."

"Rider Home Improvement did a great job with our cabin portico project. We wanted to cover our front entry steps with a small exterior addition to protect the steps and keep the entry free of snow and rain. The cabin is rustic, so we wanted rough sawn cedar and stone bases to keep the look of our log cabin. Craig Rider was extremely good about being pro-active, following up promptly, and showing up when he said he would. We had a few sub-contractor and weather issues that impacted our schedule, but Craig kept us on his radar and made our small project a priority. We had a few concerns about material quantities, measuring, and overall design aesthetics, but with continuous in-person conversations, we achieved what we set out to achieve. Craig’s pricing was fair and transparent. We enjoyed working with both Craig and his son, David, and are very pleased with the final project."

FAQs for major home repair (general contractor) projects in Portland, ME

In many cases, it’s much less expensive to convert a bus than to buy an RV, especially if you’re considering a newer RV model, which can exceed $100,000.

Another huge benefit of school bus conversion is that you are in control of the renovation project. You get to pick your camper's new layout and all the appliances and furniture.

While school buses can easily cost $300,000 when they're new, you can often find used buses for just a few thousand dollars. These vehicles experience extreme depreciation due to government regulations; they can only be used for so long before they must be replaced. Due to those same regulations, other government agencies cannot purchase them for their own uses, so the consumer market is the only place they can go.

The length of time it takes to convert a bus depends on the scope of the project (and size of the bus), how much work is DIY vs. done by a professional contractor, and how much work you’re doing up front.

In general, expect at least a couple of months for a conversion, but larger conversions could take six months to a year. Remember: You can tackle projects as you go: Get the basic work done so that it’s livable, and then continue to enhance your living space over time.
