Surprise, Surprise, Surprise


No it's not a story about Gomer Pyle. We started a bath room remodel in Arlington, VA, and much to our surprise we found a previous remodel effort had used plywood as a backer board. You can see the water stains and possible mold growth.
At FW&D we like to use DUROCK concrete backer board in all tub & shower installations. Concrete backerboard has a solid concrete core and is faced on both sides with fiberglass. It's an ideal underlayment for wet areas like shower walls and bathtub surrounds.
As part of a proper application we tape and mud the joints.

If you would like to know more about bath remodeling please contact us.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0" refers to the second generation of web development and web design that facilitates information sharing and collaboration on the World Wide Web. The advent of Web 2.0 led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and web applications. Examples include social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashups and folksonomies.
Well here we are on FW&D's social networking site, the company blog, and who would have ever thought that I would know how to use this stuff as a marketing tool. I certainly didn't. Not only do we have the blog but we also have a YouTube channel which enables our clients to view certain aspects of our work conveniently from their laptop or pc.

Remodel Crazy


A couple of contractor friends of mine started a forum that will bring contractors and homeowners together and it's called Remodel Crazy. What's different about this forum is they are welcoming all of the players in a remodeling project to participate in the forum. Sounds crazy but if you have a homeowner asking a question surely one of the members will be able to answer the question when the forum has a membership represented by most every trade, suppliers, vendors and a few crazies. I'll leave it up to you to figure out who the crazies are. So take the time to check out www.RemodelCrazy.com.
