Testimonial
 
"One of the principle reasons we hired MHM Remodeling was the confidence that Mike would do the work himself and that he knew what he was doing. Mike and his helper, Nathan, displayed an exemplary work ethic by being on time, staying late when required and always working hard. 
 
Mike’s choice of vendors helped us keep the final tally close to his estimate while not sacrificing quality. In fact, we were impressed with how accurate his labor and materials estimate actually was. He was a sounding board for our ideas, told us what was feasible, what was practical, and what would break the budget. He expressed his opinion, was forthright with his answers to our questions, and above all, he was honest. 
 
The finished bathroom is so stunning that no one would know that the project was plagued with challenges from Day One.  The obstacles came from existing framing, to incorrect supplies, and, occasionally, an owner with “new ideas”. Mike overcame each problem as it was encountered.  His meticulous attention to detail, his experience, and his skilled craftsmanship enabled him to produce a quality product that expertly blended form and function. 
 
Mike takes pride in his work.  It is refreshing to find a business owner who is accountable for the work he does and who cares about satisfying his customer.  We highly recommend MHM Remodeling and we look forward to working with Mike again in the future."

If you are contemplating a major remodel, the addition of a room or garage, or a new kitchen you should consider upgrading your electrical service.

Thirty years ago, the average new home was equipped with a 60 amp electrical service connected to a screw-in fuse panel with two fuse blocks. The common distribution was a fuse block for the stove and one for the hot water tank. The balance of the homes electrical needs were served by six, 15amp screw-in fuses.

Twenty years ago the average new home was equipped with a 100 amp electrical service and some of them used the latest in technology, circuit breakers. Now the average home is equipped with a 200 amp electrical service with a distribution panel handling up to 40, 15amp circuit breakers serving the electrical needs of the home. North American’s are electrical power hungry.

Today our air conditioning systems take more power than an entire home did 30 years ago. A kitchen, in a new home, will usually be equipped with a number of receptacles capable of supplying more than 60 amps just to counter top appliances. Adding receptacles does not increase the available power if they are looped from other receptacles. To get more power to a location the circuit should run directly from the distribution panel. Old style distribution panels, those with screw-in fuses are generally considered fire hazards. The contact between the base of the fuse and the buss bar oxidizes or charcoals from poor contact. In order for the current to continue to flow, heat is generated. In many areas, insurance companies will not renew homeowner insurance if the home is equipped with an electrical distribution panel that has screw-in fuses. If your current electrical service to your home is less than 200 amps, and/or if it has a distribution panel that uses screw in fuses, you should consider replacing it as a top priority in any major renovation project.
