"Stephen Koch is a very rare breed in the tradesman field. He is honest, transparent, fair, extremely knowledgeable, very skilled in his trade, I could go on and on about his qualifications. He is very patient and level headed. (He put up with THIS old lady!) What I thought was going to be just putting in a new electric box turned into a huge headache, not Stephen fault, but city of corpus requirements that meant having to have a new electric pole put in and Stephen having to excavate a line in my front yard to run underground line that was required by the city. Through all of it, Stephen kept me informed and updated on the progress. He did such an awesome job from start to finish! I just wish he was in the Austin area to take care of my electric down here!"

"Not “Woman owned and operated” as described. In hindsight I should’ve read and believed the other one star reviews. Day One the contractor arrived, reviewed the 10 project requests on site, explained he was only able to complete 3/10 projects..odd as the company described contractor as having 30+ yrs experience? Measurements were taken for the 3 projects, promises were made that the company would return to complete the projects with lumber in hand, I was made to pay a deposit. Day Two contractor arrived 30 minutes late no lumber in hand, took SEVEN hours to install two ceiling fans and one screen door. Day Three contractor arrived TWO hours late still not able to complete project due to not having enough lumber and/or wrong sized lumber? Day Four (after I reached out to the owner) a different contractor arrived and completed the project. $1,915 later the screen door has two gaping holes at the bottom, the hand rail installed (by first contractor) is shaky and the requested Veteran’s discount was not applied. So many lessons learned."

"Be aware!- He overcharged us for materials and at the end of the job tried to charged us extra money for work done under the original contract or for repairs to damaged areas caused by his workers. We went to BBB arbitration and won the case against him and he got his BBB accreditation suspended. See below the decision of the BBB arbitrator in her own words: ***In review of the testimony from both parties and the evidence presented, the decision for this arbitration is as follows: Award: Consumer seeks a refund of $2,460 for overpayment of materials Concerns regarding the difference in the amounts should have been discussed and resolved prior to the final payment being remitted. Costs of materials as charged by a retailer to a business may or may not include discounts. Receipts obtained from the consumer from the retailers who sold Mr. Rinaldi of Dash Construction materials for the contracted job (brick/stone and windows) varies in amount from what Was actually charged to customer. Careful review of the testimony and evidence presented during the hearing was the compelling evidence of numerous examples of concerns with the credibility of Mr. Rinaldi with regards to providing transparent estimates, billing, and invoicing for materials and labor. As such, the intent of credibility and character of Mr. Rinaldi results in the decision to award the consumer's request for a refund in the amount of $2,460. Denial: Business seeks payment for additional work totaling $3,230 The existence of a contract may or may not involve revisions. Verbal conversations are enforceable When requirements of a contract are present. The payment in the amount of $66,288.00 for work Contracted was paid in full by the consumer. After final payment for the work contracted was received, Mr. Rinaldi invoiced the consumer for additional work completed. Outstanding payments for work done within the scope of the project should have been brought to the attention, discussed, and resolved prior to the final payment being requested and final payment being accepted. In addition, Mr. Rinaldi signed a waiver of lien for the consumer's mortgage holder, implying no additional charges were outstanding. The evidence and testimony provided by Mr. Rinaldi was not compelling to award $3,230 to include the Witness statements presented as evidence which lacked credibility.***"

Construction and Remodel.
Licensed electricians typically install bathroom exhaust fans, ensuring safe wiring and code compliance. If new ductwork is needed, an HVAC specialist handles the venting. A handyman may suffice for simple replacements, but new installations should involve a licensed electrician to ensure a safe and effective installation that lasts for years to come.
If you’re replacing an existing fan, purchase a fan with the same dimensions so you won’t have to make any additional cuts in your ceiling or wall to accommodate it.
Pay attention to the fan’s CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. A larger bathroom generally benefits from a larger CFM rating. At a minimum, you need one CFM per square foot.
You’ll also want to look for the fan’s sones rating, which measures how loud the fan will be during operation. Higher numbers indicate louder fan operation. To keep things quiet, look for two sones or fewer.
Installing a bathroom exhaust fan takes two to four hours when new wiring and ductwork installation are required. For a simple replacement that involves no extra modifications, the process takes one hour or more. This installation ensures all electrical and ventilation requirements are met and provides optimal airflow to your bathroom.
Bathrooms with windows do not automatically require an exhaust fan if natural airflow sufficiently reduces humidity. However, relying solely on a window does not guarantee consistent moisture removal. An exhaust fan actively ejects humid air, preventing mold growth and damage to surfaces. Installing a fan ensures reliable and continuous ventilation regardless of window size or weather conditions.
Bathroom fans last 10 years with proper upkeep. Regular cleaning and prompt repairs extend the life and efficiency of the fan. When signs of aging, such as increased noise or persistent odors, emerge, the fan must be replaced promptly to maintain optimal ventilation and safeguard your bathroom from moisture-related damage.
Local building codes mandate that all bathrooms maintain proper ventilation through a fan or window system. Verifying these requirements before installation is essential to ensure safety and code compliance. Hiring a licensed professional ensures that your installation meets all local regulations, thereby reducing the risk of moisture-related damage and potential fines.
