The questions everyone asks, answered straight.
What it costs, how long it takes, whether that wall can come out, and what happens when something turns up behind it. If yours is not here, call and ask it.

What does a bathroom or kitchen remodel cost?
A real number needs a look at the room. Size, what is being moved, whether plumbing and circuits relocate, what the finishes are and what the house is hiding all move it, and any 2 of those can double a job. That is why there is no price table on this website: a range wide enough to be true would be too wide to be useful. Russ walks it with you and quotes it on the spot, free, and the number is for your room rather than an average of other people’s.
Do you really not charge for the bid?
Really. Call, text a photo, or send the form. Russ comes out, walks it with you, and you get a number. No charge, no obligation, and nobody calling you 3 times a week afterwards, because he is on a job rather than in an office.
Can that wall come out?
Often, and the answer is worth getting from someone who frames for a living rather than from a search result. It depends on what is bearing on the wall, where the load goes instead, whether there is something under the new post that can carry it, and what is running inside the wall. A general contractor can stand in the room and tell you the beam size, the post locations and what the header does to the ceiling line, before you pay anyone to find out the hard way.
What happens when something turns up behind the wall?
Something usually does. Rot behind a shower pan, a vent that was never a vent, a joist somebody notched for a pipe in 1978, a supply line spliced by a previous owner. The way it is handled here is simple: you hear about it the day Russ finds it, with what it will take to put right and what it will cost, rather than reading it as a line item at the end. 41 years is mostly knowing what you are looking at when it appears.
How long will it take?
A master bathroom is usually a matter of weeks rather than days, and the honest version is that it depends on inspections, on lead times for anything ordered, and on what is uncovered. You get a real sequence at the bid: demo, then structural, then rough-in and inspection, then board, then finish. Anyone quoting you a date without asking about your fixtures has not thought about it.
Do you do the small stuff too?
Yes. Doors that never hung right, trim that was never finished, a closet that needs building properly, the list of things that have been waiting 2 years. Russ puts it as: is your honey-do list too long, or is your honey too busy. Call and read him the list.
Who is actually on site?
Russ. There is no estimator handing you to a project manager handing you to a crew you have never met. The man who walks your bathroom is the man who prices it and the man who is there while it is built. That is the whole reason for hiring a contractor of this size rather than a bigger one.
What about permits and inspections?
Structural work, additions, foundations and anything that changes a load path go through Iron County plan check and get built to the approved drawings, inspected in the right order. Getting told no at the framing stage is expensive; getting told no at the drawing stage is a conversation. It is part of the walk-through.
Are you licensed and insured?
Russ’s own words, from his Instagram: licensed since 1995, a general contractor with hands-on experience in all phases of building, commercial and residential. This website does not print a licence number, because the number and its current status are his to give you rather than ours to publish. Ask him for it on the phone, and verify it at the Utah DOPL licence lookup before you hire anybody, him included. That is good advice for every contractor you ever call.
Where do you work?
Out of Cedar City, across Iron County: Enoch, Parowan, Kanarraville, Brian Head, Paragonah, Summit, New Harmony, Hamilton Fort and Cedar Highlands. The drive does not change the price. On the edge of the county? Ask anyway.
Still got one? Ask it here.
Anything about your own house is easiest answered standing in it. Send this or call, and Russ will come and look at it, free.
