Remodeling Tips
- Granite usually comes from Italy, Brazil, and India. Level 1 granite is simply in good supply, not more attractive. Level 2 granite costs approximately 20% more than level 1. $55-$75 per sq. foot is typical for installed granite for countertops, which includes a sink cutout with polished edge.
- Drywall is cheap. Popcorn, or textured ceilings, are often cheaper to replace with new drywall than to resurface to be smooth.
- Removing walls, load-bearing or not, is not a big deal. It does require a letter from a structural engineer. The letter describes the proper method of supporting a removed wall and the inspector always confirms that the proper method has been employed.
Have You Seen Our New Wheels?
Our van is driven by head carpenter Greg Eatz and has been turning heads with its great graphics. Our project manager Ben Toney drives our silver pick-up truck with cool graphics. These vehicles not only look great, they help keep the guys’ tools organized. Wave if you see them around town!

Design Corner:
Making the dozens of selections for your remodeling project is daunting. Even the brightest homeowners dread making a mistake. Which tile, which granite, what cabinet finish, and what finish for the faucet?
Wood Wise provides complete support for all of your selections. Designer Kathy Walker is your ally in the various showrooms helping yo
u coordinate everything. She helps guide you to appropriate choices that fit your look and your budget to take the stress out of the selection process. Kathy says,
“I love it when I leave a selection meeting with a homeowner and they say, ‘That was easier than I thought it would be!'”
Here are a few of Kathy’s recent projects:
