We pride ourselves on being a unique construction company. Everything Under the Roof is an interior, residential construction company owned by Kim and Jay Spanier. At work we are a husband and wife team, but at home we are mom and dad, so we truly understand the importance of keeping your project orderly and on time, while keeping your family (including your pets) safe. We can also guarantee NO high pressure sales calls, and no crabby, condescending construction guys working on your home improvement project – just our family helping yours! Kim is your main point of contact through the project. She walks you through the construction process, acts as your personal construction jargon translator, and, most importantly, she is the budget master. Kim will help you shop for materials so that you stay on budget. Jay is the jobsite superintendent. He manages the day to day activities of your remodeling/construction project, he coordinates and manages the sub-contractors, and it’s his skillful carpentry that will transform your home. All of our projects work within the existing footprint of your house. What exactly does that mean? Well, in a nut shell, we don’t do additions, and we won’t raise your roof. We find all the hidden, un-used spaces in your house and re-create your floor plan to work for you and your family.
"Kim and Jay are the best contracting group I have ever worked with. Thorough, responsive and always friendly and courteous."

Our home was recently constructed by Toll Brothers. Making renovations to and matching the high quality to that of Toll brothers' can be challenging at times. We were so fortunate to work with BBB and their construction quality. They make sure their customer receives exactly what they ask for and more. We have worked with Randy throughout the entire process from start to finish. He is very professional and always available to address your needs. They have good contractors and maintain the delivery schedule. Throughout the construction process, I never had to worry about anything.

"Adie was a pleasure to work with, and his crew really knew what they were doing. His quote was far below quotes by other contractors (normally a warning sign), but he clearly knew his stuff and my confidence in him was well-founded. I changed several details as the project went on, and Adie was happy to work with me and make any adjustments. There were delays caused by tile suppliers, but Adie worked to find other sources, and rearranged other commitments to make sure our project was completed as soon as possible. My only constructive criticism is that the quote was not itemized (which was ok for me at the time), but that caused an underestimated cost of the glass enclosure to go unnoticed in the budget until the end of the project. We’d made many changes over the course of the project, so were not unprepared for the higher cost of the glass, but I’d have known sooner if the budget had been itemized. Overall a great experience though and I would use East Bay again in a heartbeat!"

Laminate countertops last between 10 and 15 years with proper installation and maintenance. Regular cleaning with nonabrasive products and promptly addressing spills helps maintain their appearance and functionality. Avoiding extreme heat and moisture can also extend their lifespan. Ask your countertop installer for recommendations on regular maintenance techniques that will help extend your new laminate countertop’s lifespan.
Yes, installing new laminate over existing laminate countertops is possible. It requires thorough surface preparation, precise measurements, and careful application to ensure proper adhesion. Using the correct adhesive and accurate cutting techniques will result in a secure and attractive surface. Hiring a professional can ensure the finish is durable and long-lasting.
Yes, you can refresh your existing laminate countertops without having to replace them completely. Update your existing laminate countertops by applying a new finish like paint, tile, or a concrete overlay. This process requires thorough cleaning and priming to ensure proper bonding. Precise application techniques will provide a smooth, durable finish that withstands daily use.
To remove stains from laminate countertops, create a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stain and let it sit for about five minutes. Gently wipe away the paste with a soft, damp cloth—avoid scrubbing to prevent scratching the surface. Repeat if necessary until the stain is removed.
