Welcome to AskTheContractors.com

Do you have a project going on at your home? This is where we cut through it all and nail things down. That’s because we’re your Source for Local Home Improvement Pros.

I’ve been a contractor well over 30 years. So if you need a contractor, you can request an estimate from some of our Trusted Pros on our website, AskTheContractors.com. In fact, these businesses are super, and they’re actually on my job site.

Today we update you on The Alex job. We’re following this job from start to finish.

Now, last time we talked we had rough electrical going in. We had rough plumbing being finished up; hardwood floors and the sheetrock has been completed. Meanwhile we’re ready to paint.  

This type of granite; it’s just gorgeous.

Granite

So today we are setting our Granite. This Granite almost looks like a river is running through. Also recessed sinks – under mount for some of you.

Yeah, but before we work on this project, we’re going to be doing some news that affects the housing market.

Then I answer a question from a listener about her balcony addition options.

What’s News…

Pack your bags because this is where Millennials are moving in 2019. (4:30) Sacramento’s not on the list of the top-25.

We had hardwood floors going in, but now we’re midway through. Sheetrock has been completed, and we’re ready for paint in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, beautiful cabinets we being installed. Our hood is going in, so we have great ventilation when the range arrives.
