Turn your home improvement dream into reality. RCL Remodeling, LLC offers a complete line of home improvement services ranging from full or partial kitchen, bathroom and basement upgrades to a major home restoration.
"I hired RCL Remodeling for a few jobs. I hired RCL for electrical work and carpentry work. RCL added a 110 line for our home and did some trouble shooting for 2 outlets that were not working. I also hired him to add railings for the stairway going to the second floor and railings going downstairs. Rocael arrived on time with his team. The electrical work and railings were done the same day. They were friendly, professional, and used care to keep my home neat and clean. The railings were red oak and Rocael gave me options to match my existing banister. The quality of the work was excellent. I was very pleased with the final product and highly recommend this company. I would use them again in the future."

Firebelly Renovations is a home improvement company, and we work with homeowners to maximize their living space. We want people to be able to enjoy and appreciate the value of their home. Firebelly Renovations works with our clients in a collaborative process: "We will always strive to increase a property's value through our talent and hard work." Firebelly strives to be recognized for quality and style and being on budget. A company that works hard to achieve the highest level of quality. A company that recommends vendors of the best reputation and best prices. A partner with integrity that has earned its customer's trust.
"Firebelly Renovations began work in our home in January of 2018 for substantial restructuring of our master bath, kitchen, and creation of a mudroom/pantry that took space from the garage and extended the kitchen. The contract stipulated that it would take 60 calendar days. Our expectations were for the project to be completed in April, at the latest, given change orders and construction delays. Firebelly did not complete their work until November, 2018 -- TEN MONTHS LATER!! We ended up hiring a third- party contractor to complete remaining punch list items, as we had difficulty getting Firebelly to return. While we have a kitchen and bathroom that is substantially complete and we are now enjoying, getting to this point was a huge life disruption that took nearly a year. As the months dragged on, we observed questionable commitment to the work product, unreliable business practices, and poor project management. Examples follow: QUESTIONABLE COMMITMENT TO QUALITY WORK -The new flexible vent pipe they installed through the roof for our new dryer was so flawed in design and installation that it collapsed creating a water trap for the humid air (see photo). -Firebelly installed closet doors that block the full use of our new Elfa closet system. Drawers will not fully open (see photo). -In several areas, new walls are not straight, corners deviate from 90 degrees requiring modification to shelving that will be installed in the space, and drywall compound/tape and paint were applied in a sloppy manner (see photos). -Caulking in the kitchen and bathroom has already cracked (less than six months), the toilet has leaked, the shower has leaked, the vessel sinks in the bathroom are not securely fastened in place, the bathroom live-edge vanities have started to sag and need to be re-supported to their installed level (see photo). UNRELIABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES -Firebelly failed to pay a subcontractor plumber, resulting in a lien being placed on our home. We have requested paperwork to settle the matter with the plumber, but Firebelly has not provided it. -Change orders were started and sometimes completed prior to receiving our written approval, a contract stipulation. -They often cut short their 8am to 4pm work day. There were instances of Firebelly excusing themselves from our project for an entire week, giving reasons that did not sound credible. They lied to us about a family vacation in July (that delayed our project another week). We later found out that this was really an excuse for the owner to work on other projects. POOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT -Firebelly made numerous miscalculations on the quantity of product needed. For example, bathroom floor tiling required three separate trips to the store, each time to order more based upon their calculations. Yet, when we returned in August from an overseas trip, we were informed that the tile design was not completed as planned as they did not have enough tile!! -Based on their calculations, we over purchased special-order tile and could not return it, costing us over $200. Another tile store had to make an exception to their return policy because we had exceeded their six-month limit for returns - otherwise, this would have cost us several hundred dollars. -Items, such as kitchen appliances, cabinets, tile, etc., were ordered so they would be available when needed and sat in our living room and garage for months until Firebelly made enough progress to install them. -Subcontractors were hired only as the project proceeded, introducing delays and resulting in variations in cost. Many more frustrations and observations could be listed. This was an ordeal that overtook our lives for the better part of year. We began to wonder if Firebelly had ever done a job of this size before as they did not appear to have the staff or the systems in place to address the challenges of this job. We would not recommend Firebelly for any substantial home renovation."

It can cost as little as $20 per square foot to repair small cracks in plaster. For more extensive cracks and those over 1/4-inch wide, expect to pay around $120 per square foot.
Yes, crumbling plaster on a ceiling or high up on a wall is potentially dangerous as large chunks of heavy material can fall and cause serious injury if they hit a person or animal. Plus, if the plaster contains asbestos, which was a common plaster additive until the mid-1980s, or lead from old layers of paint, it carries a significant health risk. “Asbestos in plaster becomes a health risk once airborne, such as when crumbling plaster is agitated,” says Ezra Laniado, Expert Home Building and Remodeling Contributor.
If you don't know the age or content of your plaster, it's always worth getting a home inspection. A lead-based paint inspection typically costs $600 while an asbestos inspection costs around $500. For peace of mind and the safety of your family, these inspections are well worth the cost, as they highlight problems like the presence of lead and asbestos before the plaster crumbles and causes health issues so that you can take early action.
With proper maintenance, plaster can last over 100 years if not exposed to high humidity or water damage.
