Dan was extremely easy to work with. He made our families emergency renovation process simple and was always available for questions. His company did fantastic work in a timely manner and Everything fell within budget. I would definitely recommend Dan for all your home remodeling needs.
From the beginning of the porch being knocked down. To the rebuilding of my new enclosed porch. Dan and his workers were amazing people. Very professional and courteous people. Beautiful job from start to finish.
Dan and his team just added on a 12×12 composite deck to a existing deck at my home. It came out amazing and we are so happy with it. Dan and his team were excellent and will be using them in future projects, thank you Dan
Best construction company!!! Very responsible and professional. Always on time, always ready to answer all questions!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking either to build a house, to do extension, build a porch or something else. They do free estimates and do the job quickly.
Dan’s Construction just completed a Trex deck with two sets of stairs for me. I am thrilled with the outcome! Dan was pleasant and efficient in overseeing our deck project, his crew worked tirelessly to complete their work, despite bad weather and the issue of trash on my site…
I came across Dan’s Construction by accident while searching the internet and I’m glad I did. I read the reviews and checked out the company and contacted for an estimate. He was quick and professional and reached out enthusiastic to work…
Dan is super nice and easy to work with. His team worked all day to get our roof replaced which had damage down to the rafters. He is knowledgeable, fair and trustworthy. I highly recommend this company and will definitely hire them for future projects.
We called after seeing a recommendation on Facebook and we are very happy we did. We had them build a covered pergola off our back sliders, and since we live in a log home, we wanted rough hewn lumber. Not only did they order the perfect stuff…
Dan and his team completed a full replace of the deck, staircase and balcony at my home. From the beginning Dan was knowledgeable and responsive to my inquiry including being quick to respond to any changes to material or additional items…

Remodeling a bathroom that has been redone before
Stafford Springs' mill-era village homes have small, older bathrooms, while the farmhouses and capes across the hills have more room and often a second bath to update. Most Stafford bathrooms in housing of this age have been remodeled once or twice already, often right over the top of what was there before. A full bathroom remodel here usually starts by taking the room back to the studs and the subfloor, because layered tile, old paneling and patched plumbing hide exactly the problems that make a new bathroom fail early.
Old pipes, old floors, new bathroom
On Stafford housing of this era the floor is where bathroom problems show first. Decades of small leaks around the toilet and tub soften the subfloor and sometimes the joists, so we check them with the floor open and repair them before anything new goes down. Supply and drain lines get the same look, and anything at the end of its life is replaced while it is easy to reach. In the older homes at Stafford Springs, we check the condition of the drain stack and venting, because original plumbing in houses that age causes most of the problems we see.
Finishes that suit the house
A bathroom in a Stafford house of this age looks best when it suits the house rather than a catalog. Classic subway or hex tile, a simple vanity, and fixtures in a finish that matches the rest of the house tend to look right for decades. We help narrow the choices, then install the tile, the vanity, the fixtures and the lighting ourselves.
Safer bathrooms in older houses
Older Stafford bathrooms often have a high tub wall, a tight doorway and nothing in the walls to hold a grab bar. A tub-to-shower conversion with a low or no curb, blocking in the walls for grab bars and a comfort-height toilet make the room safer without making it look like a hospital bathroom.
Everything else we handle in Stafford
Roofing and siding through to kitchens, additions and new construction, all run by the same crew.

Common questions about bathroom remodeling in Stafford
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Stafford?
Usually, once plumbing, wiring or walls change. In Connecticut, plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades and has its own permit and inspection, separate from any building permit, while a purely cosmetic refresh may need none at all. We work out which apply and schedule the inspections. On an older house the inspector looks at the venting and drain lines as well as the new fixtures, which is one more reason to replace old pipe while the walls are open.
What does a bathroom remodel cost in Stafford?
On a Stafford house of this age the number depends on what we find under the floor and behind the old tile, so we look before we price. On a house of this age a phone quote is a guess. The estimate is free, done at the house with something opened up if it needs to be, and itemized.
How long will we be without the bathroom?
On an older house the schedule depends on what opening the floor and walls turns up, so we build cushion into the plan and tell you about anything we find before we fix it. You get a written schedule before demolition starts.

More about bathroom remodeling in Stafford
Bathrooms in a Stafford house that has been changed many times
Stafford grew around the mills at Stafford Springs and is still home to Stafford Motor Speedway. The housing runs to mill-era village housing at the Springs, with farmhouses and capes across the surrounding hills, and most of it has had its bathrooms remodeled at least once, often over the top of the work before.
That is why we take bathrooms in these houses back to the studs and the subfloor. Layered floors raise the toilet flange, old tile hides soft walls, and patched pipes leak where no one can see them. A clean start is the only way to know the new bathroom is built on something sound.
On the hill properties around Stafford, most homes are on private wells, and a look at the water before choosing fixtures is part of the first visit.
Remodeling a bathroom in Stafford
Stafford's bathrooms range from small rooms in the mill-era village homes at Stafford Springs to roomier baths in the farmhouses and capes across the hills.
In the village homes, the plumbing is often original, and we replace old drain and supply lines while the walls are open.
On the hill properties, most homes are on private wells and septic, so we check the water and plan the plumbing to suit the system.
When to schedule a bathroom remodel
A bathroom remodel in Stafford is interior work, so unlike a deck or an addition it does not wait on the weather. Winter is often the easiest time to get on the calendar.
What does take time is materials. Custom shower glass, some tile and specialty vanities can be slow to arrive, so we order them before demolition rather than leaving the room torn up while we wait.
Permits and inspections in Stafford
Work in Stafford is permitted by the Stafford Building Department under the Connecticut State Building Code, and we file in our name so the code responsibility sits with us rather than with you. We are licensed in Connecticut as well as Massachusetts, and inspections are ours to schedule and meet.
A bathroom remodel can involve three permits: building, plumbing and electrical. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed trades and inspected on its own schedule, usually at rough-in before the walls are closed and again at the end. We coordinate all of it so the inspections happen in the right order and the job does not stall.
