Remodeling Bathroom

There’s no need for a full bathroom remodel when you can make your bathroom more functional and stylish by installing new fixtures. Update the shower with a more adjustable shower head or there are even models that mimic rainfall shower heads.

When you are remodeling the bathroom, consider just refinishing the tub instead of replacing it. There are lots of companies that can refinish porcelain tubs, making them look good as new. These companies will also be able to refinish your tile around your bathtub and not have to take it off. You don’t need to look to replacing unless you see water damage.

Roof replacement

A well maintained roof offers many benefits including efficiency, to name a few and most preventative maintenance services cost little to no money and a little no time; to keep in mind, as a word of advice for roof maintenance. With a busy schedule, someone can easily overlook a problem by not utilizing preventive maintenance and it’s importance to the future well being of the dwelling. At any given time, the smallest leak can cause a rotting wood situation that can only be remedied by removing the wood and replacing the wood decking.

Wood Decking Inspection.  After removing the wood, we completely inspect the wood decking making sure you do not have rotting wood that needs to be replaced.

Along with the many benefits of roof installation, there’s nothing that you can do to the exterior of your house that will give you the satisfaction and joy that you will get when you look at your new roof for the first time.

D&D Construction takes replacement very seriously. We work extremely hard to make the process as quick and painless for you as possible with the least amount of down-time possible.

Demolition & Repaired Driveway

This Church Driveway was an important component of urban infrastructure. Concrete driveways are worthwhile to construct and when built well, they’re long-lasting and eye-catching. D&D Construction completes each project while using the best in quality materials and professionalism that’s second to none. We offer an array of concrete services including decorative, structural, and paving.

WE KNOW HOW TO CONSTRUCT, REPAIR AND INSTALL CONCRETE DRIVEWAY OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. FROM STANDARD SIDEWALKS TO CUSTOM DRIVEWAY DESIGNS, WE CAN HANDLE ANY KIND OF PROJECT. WE ALSO OFFER OTHER DRIVEWAY ALTERNATIVES FOR EXAMPLE AGGREGATE DRIVEWAYS, MULTI-GROOVED DRIVEWAYS, STAMPED CONCRETE AND MANY OTHER TYPES OF DRIVEWAYS / DRIVEWAY INSTALLATIONS.

Installing a new concrete driveway for the first time, using top grade concrete is imperative. The process is finalized with a mixture of FiberMesh to ensure maximum reinforcement. All concrete driveways are poured on top of a compact gravel base with the rebar grid.

Not only is concrete functional, it lends itself to a wide variety of design options, which can make a dramatic difference in how old landscaping plans are developed. In addition to the traditional look, concrete can have the decorative appearance, feel and color of brick, tile, sleet or stone by applying a stamped texture.

Notes below on how we install the rebar grid before the concrete is poured. The rebar is pulled up into the concrete as it is being placed.

Concrete Driveway Replacement

Staircase• We’ve been itching to rip the nasty, boring, beige carpet off the stairs for the past few days. The stairs were covered in boring, beige carpet.  To make matters worse, there was absolutely nothing hanging anywhere along the wall of the stairs, so the only thing we had to focus on was the sad carpet.

Walls• Taping and finishing drywall is kind of a struggle. Mostly with the inside corners, but not for us. The temptation is to try to work on both sides of a corner at once. While working one side, the edge of the taping knife or the wet drywall compound (mud) that can build up on its edge will mess up the mud on the other side. It can lead to an even bigger mess at the point where the wall meets the ceiling and the corners come together.

Flooring• The bulk of the floor came up in about three or four hours, but since the circular saw doesn’t cut all the way to the wall, we had to do some more old-fashioned demo work to get the floor by the walls out. Having the middle already removed made that easier too, though.

Windows• Replacement windows are designed to slip within existing window jambs (the framed opening of a window) after the old sashes (the frame that holds the glass pane or panes of a window) have been removed. This is the simplest way to upgrade your windows, and you won’t have to add new trim or flashing because they were installed with the old window. New windows can breathe fresh life into an older home, and they are one of the deciding factors in the longevity of any new structure. Successful window installation is possible, but the approach you take depends on whether you’re replacing old windows in an existing structure or installing windows in a new building.

Lights• We now have a recessed lighting in the ceiling and it really helps even out the lighting room. Plus, getting rid of the semi-flush light fixtures makes the ceiling feel taller.
