We did a lake view, wrap around deck for them in 1999. <br /> Basements can run from $20 a square foot, on up, complete. They add so much utility to a house, and are the cheapest way to get new space. If yo uhave a walk-out, you will find it especially useful to finish the basement....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rmeo2xttXdU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rmeo2xttXdU&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object><br /><br />This is my web page.

These usually have new floors, cabinets, lights, and run from $10,000 on up (in some the cabinets alone cost $30,000). Kitchens often call for wall removal, and lots of drywall work. Removing bulkheads to be able to install taller cabinets is always popular.<br /><br /><br />We do about twenty bathroom remodels a year in the northern Virginia area. These range from the vinyl floors and tub/shower units, to the most expensive granite showers and floors. <br /> We used to do about one major hot tub bathroom a year, back when they were more popular.This usually involves removing walls, re-routing plumbing and electrical wires, as well as massive drywall work and the regular shower install, etc.<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w9HhyUPnNrQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w9HhyUPnNrQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Michael Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06548894406206436471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254171120914147416.post-74775176133333386802010-02-06T10:20:00.000-08:002010-02-06T10:26:41.549-08:00Two Bathroom Remodels in Springfield<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0J4agJNBrs8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0J4agJNBrs8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Michael Meredithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06548894406206436471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254171120914147416.post-74307475082090002862008-08-01T17:34:00.000-07:002011-11-05T17:26:24.493-07:00About Michael's Remodeling<p><strong>Welcome</strong> to Michael's Remodeling.
