David and his team remodeled 3 of our home bathrooms plus the laundry room. We needed to get them done by the holidays and they worked pretty well within our timeline. I’m very detailed oriented and their were attentive to details as well and overall they did a great job. Definitely recommend him.

David was the contractor we chose for our bathroom remodel. He used a very easy to understand quote process that put him in the middle of the estimates we received. He went to the Schluter Systems training facility and learned how to install their products for tile installation and waterproofing. This system creates a waterproof installation that eliminates the need for a hot mop shower floor. Our design incorporated niches in a stem wall adjacent to a bench on a wall facing away from the view of the shower. This would not be possible with a hot mop installation. David and his helper Craig worked with our schedule and completed the job in the estimated completion time and a little under the budget we agreed to. They were also careful watching our dog when going in and out of our house during the entire process. We highly recommend David as he did everything we expected him to do on time and within budget. My son and I worked together on this remodeling project designing and building the cabinets, walls, niches, and bench for the shower. We used a local stone company for the countertop and tops of the stem walls. David and Craig were very careful when installing the tile to keep from doing damage our hard work that was in place before they started. As you can see from the photos, we still need to finish and paint the rest of the bathroom and install the trim for the plumbing. Great job guys!

We hired David McArthur (Build it Fix it) to redo our small master bathroom. We got estimates from David and 1 other contractor. His was NOT the least expensive but because he was the most responsive and informative he earned our business. From the word go David did everything he said he would. He showed up everyday, ( even came on a Saturday unexpectedly) he and his assistant Craig are polite, professional and make an effort to keep everything as neat and as clean as possible. David gave us great recommendations on where to purchase our countertops, sinks, lighting etc. Those suggestions helped us save hundreds on the materials needed for the project. He also gave us suggestions on what materials to choose that would help save on labor/installation costs. He estimated the job would take about 3 weeks - he finished in under 2 weeks. That NEVER happens on a remodel project. Other than his quality of work; which is impeccible - the main reason you should hire David is his trustworthyness. We did the unthinkable - when the demo started, we left town for a few days. We gave a complete stranger full access to our house while we were away. We knew this was a risky move but we had good vibes from him in all our communications and we loved the idea of not being here for the dirtiest part of the job. We were relieved to return home to find everything was in order - not one item was out of place. This really validated we selected the right contractor. Throughout the entire project David responded within minutes when we had questions both in person and through the Thumbtack app. We are greatly appreciative of the work he did. We love our new masterbathroom. Thank you David and Craig If you have a project or repair - give David a try; you'll be glad you did!!
