When I bought my first house in the Midwest, I was thrilled to have an old house and the ability to fix it up to make it the way I wanted it to be. After I bought the house, I looked online to find a western suburbs handyman who could help me with the huge remodeling project I was about to take on. Finally, I found someone who had an entire page dedicated to a western suburbs bathroom he had helped someone complete recently and I knew he was the guy for the job. So, I hired him and we quickly made an appointment for him to take look at the house and see how he could help.
Frank, the handyman, came over a few days after I bought the house and he said he would love to help with the job. I told him I wanted to remodel the kitchen by replacing the sink, cabinets, the floors, and the countertops. I also told him I wanted to paint the walls in the living room. Finally, I explained that I also needed help replacing some fixtures, replacing the shower, and repainting the bathroom. Frank said that it would probably take about three weeks for the project to be complete. So, after the meeting I got to work looking for everything I needed for my project.
After the meeting, I went to a home improvement store to buy everything I would need for the project. I bought different paint colors, new light fixtures, new countertops, new wood floors, cabinets, and I arranged to have the floors, cabinets, and a new shower delivered the following week.
For the first week, Frank and I worked on the kitchen because that was the room that needed the most work. We started by painting first, then we took off all of the old countertops. Next, we put the cabinets in place and then installed the countertops. The end of the kitchen project came when we replaced the entire floor with new wood flooring.
The second week we worked on the living room. Since the room was so large, it took two days to complete the paint job. Frank also helped me put in a few new fixtures and he made small improvements to the living room as we found any minor issues while painting the room.
The third week was the final week of the project and we worked on the bathroom. Frank installed the new shower without my help, then he helped me replace the sink with the new one. He also helped me paint the bathroom after everything else had been installed.
I really enjoyed working with Frank, the handyman, because he always went above and beyond by helping me replace and fix anything that needed fixing along the way. During my remodeling project, Frank and I became great friends and remain so to this day. I am so happy I decided to remodel my new home because I able to make a new friend and create the home of my dreams in just three weeks.
