What Homeowners Say

Trusted by Families Throughout West Central Ohio

"Eric and Andrew just finished my bathroom remodel and I couldn't be more pleased. Impeccable communication through the entire process. Eric gave me a quote and it never changed. He gave me a two-week timeframe and was on time to the day. When he left, the area inside and out was cleaner than I left it. I can't say enough about this company."

"Eric and his partner do a phenomenal job. They've done multiple jobs at my home and they've turned out better than I ever expected. Not to mention, all my jobs have been done on time — plus their clean-up is second to none. Say When gets an A-plus in my book."

Good Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The things homeowners ask us most, answered honestly — so you know what to expect before you ever pick up the phone.

How long will my bathroom be out of use during a remodel?
Most bathroom remodels take about two to three weeks from demolition to the final walkthrough, depending on the size of the project and whether we're moving plumbing or fixtures. We give you a realistic timeframe up front and stick to it. If you only have one bathroom, we plan the schedule to keep the disruption as short as possible.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. When a project needs a permit, we pull it and coordinate any required inspections so the work is done to code. As a licensed and insured contractor, that's part of the job — you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
What does a typical bathroom remodel cost?
Every project is different, so we don't quote a one-size-fits-all number. Cost depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and whether layout or plumbing changes are involved. We come to your home, listen to what you want, and give you a detailed written estimate for free — with no hidden fees and no pressure.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — every estimate is free and no-pressure. We come to your home, walk through the project with you, and follow up with a clear written estimate. You're never obligated to move forward.
Do you do accessibility and aging-in-place upgrades?
Absolutely. Grab bars, curbless and low-threshold walk-in showers, built-in shower seats, non-slip flooring, and wider doorways are some of our most-requested work. We help homeowners stay safe and comfortable in the home they love.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Lima and serve homeowners throughout Allen County and West Central Ohio, including Findlay, Wapakoneta, Bluffton, Shawnee, Elida, Delphos, St. Marys, Van Wert, and Celina.
Will you keep the job site clean?
Yes. We protect your floors, seal off dust, and leave your home clean at the end of every single workday. Respecting your home is something we take seriously from the first day to the last.
