I actually have a follow up question regarding the steam shower....our current shower is fully enclosed, meaning it has a tiled ceiling in addition to the walls and floor. Is there a way to use swanstone for the ceiling in addition to the walls?? The "kits" that I see online only cover the walls up to 72"....there doesn't seem to be anything for the ceiling. Thanks!

My sympathies! We noticed that the subs on our build had no respect whatsoever for another's work. Our building supervisor visited the house maybe a couple of times the 2nd month 2 x the 3rd month and after that we had to schedule appointments with him to look at work done or not done! We bought builders paper and painters tape to cover the floors in our house, after repeated requests to the supervisor and builder. We had to do the same for the light fixtures, sinks and toilets (taping them closed). I don't know if these subs treat their own homes the same way they treated ours but SLOVENLY is too kind a word!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I really appreciate it.. My husband is not a licensed electrician by any means, but he has 2 good friends who are licensed & insured master electricians. He lost his job after Katrina so he actually worked with them for around 8 months after the storm helping to re-wire flooded homes. My husband ended up running all new wiring (electrical, phone, cable/data) throughout our house and then we got the master electrician over to inspect and hook up everything. We upgraded the main fuses to a new circuit breaker box. Definitely saved us a ton of $$$! I've been pricing materials for about 2 months now and have a pretty good idea of the material costs. I have already determined we are going to be poor for some time! :) Our original plan was to sub out all the seperate jobs, but this contractor is licensed & insured and pretty much knows how to do it all.. he has built numerous homes around the area, including his own, so we have had plenty of opportunities to see his work. I think my biggest problem at this point is that I really want us to do most of the work ourselves. My husband thinks it will cost more $$ in the long run if we attempt to do everything ourselves, which I can't disagree with? But, it's so fun to learn new things!! (My husband says we can go take classes to learn.. LOL) I think we have this backwards.. I thought the husband was suppose to want to do all the work himself and the wife would want to hire someone!! :)

Our house was flooded in February, we have extensive damage to ceiling, bathroom, wood floors etc... I am looking for a company that will work with my insurance company. Would prefer them to use Xactimate. I am located in Mckinney, TX
