HouseWright Does it Right

When we moved into our new house, two of the three bathrooms were quite hideous. We hired a contractor to refurbish both bathrooms. Stuart Garbis from the House Wright Company is a true professional. The powder room downstairs was quite ugly. Here is a picture of the downstairs powderroom before he started.


We had Stuart expand the powder room to accommodate a shower in addition to the existing toilet and sink. Here is a picture of the expansion in progress.



Stuart handles al elements of the job himself. However, if you prefer you can can buy your own fixtures and materials. We bought the toilet, sink, tiles, and accessories.

Stuart provided the shower enclosure (as he had an extra one in stock) and the actual building supplies like the studs, etc.

Here is the sink we had him install.


Here is the shower.



Stuart does an extremely high quality and professional job. He is a perfectionist. If a tile is slightly uneven he will pull it up and re-lay it. If something is not square or tight, he will make it so.

He does not paint (as you can see in the pics), but he will get someone to do it for you. We painted on our own. He is not very creative from a design perspective. He is a builder, not a decorator. But as a builder he is excellent. I would highly recommend his services. It is a small company and all of the work is done by him and his helper (Bruce).
