Pittsburgh’s Custom Interior Specialist
JMR Contracting brings exceptional craftsmanship, honest communication, and true design flexibility to every bathroom and kitchen remodel.
Why Choose JMR
Every client deserves a contractor who listens, communicates, and delivers. That’s the JMR standard.
Most contractors hand you a catalog and call it custom. John-Michael works through the design with you — your ideas, your decisions, your home. No cookie-cutter results.
“He was extremely patient as we discerned many decisions for our kitchen.”— Zach Z.
Daily updates. Transparent timelines. No disappearing acts. From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, you always know exactly where your project stands.
“Mike was the most communicative contractor I’ve ever worked with, from start to finish.”— Bonnie S.
Honest pricing. Reliable timelines. Professional subcontractors when specialized expertise is needed. John-Michael knows when to bring in the right expert — and does.
“Timeline was stuck to, and the quality exceeded our expectations.”— John P.S.
Our Work
Featured Project — Full Gut Remodel
A complete transformation from subfloor to ceiling. This master bathroom remodel featured specialty marble tile throughout, a freestanding soaking tub, coffered ceiling with chandelier, custom double vanity, and a frameless marble shower with built-in niches — all designed collaboratively with the client.
Full Gut & Shower Rebuild
Full gut bathroom remodel with a complete shower rebuild using the Schluter Kerdi waterproofing system. All marble tile throughout, custom double niche with chevron accent tile, built-in bench, and chevron marble mosaic shower floor.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Removed an alcove wall and converted an outdated tub surround into a sleek walk-in shower with 90-degree frameless glass enclosure, large format tile, and built-in niche — maximizing both space and function.
Full Bathroom Update
A complete bathroom update with a creative twist — the existing closet was fully demolished and rebuilt to maximize usable floor space. A custom solution that most contractors simply wouldn't offer. Finished with marble hex flooring, quartz countertops, custom floating walnut shelves, and a fresh subway tile shower.
Meet Your Contractor
I started JMR Contracting because I believed homeowners deserved better — better communication, better craftsmanship, and a contractor who actually listens to their vision instead of pushing a standard package.
I specialize in bathrooms and kitchens, but I can handle any custom interior work. What sets me apart isn’t just the tile work or the millwork — it’s the way I work with you. From the first conversation through the final walkthrough, you’re never left wondering what’s happening in your home.
Client Reviews
“He went so far above and beyond what we expected for a general contractor — he even worked late the day before Christmas Eve so that we could have our kitchen usable for Christmas. He is an excellent craftsman — we had a vision and he made it better than we hoped for.”
“Mike was the most communicative contractor I’ve ever worked with, from start to finish. His work is impeccable and work ethic is high. Love our new bathroom, thank you Mike!”
“Mike was great with communication — giving us daily updates and calling when questions arose. He completed the job quickly, which we appreciated since it was our only bathroom. We would definitely like to work with Mike again.”
“Mike is thorough, responsive, and easy to work with. We also appreciated that he was on time and kept the space as tidy as possible throughout. Cannot recommend Mike enough!”
“Most parts of the home were completely to the studs. We could not have been more thrilled with the results. The consultation was incredibly helpful and John-Michael came with really solid questions which set up the rest of the project for success. Communicating was a breeze, timeline was stuck to, and the quality exceeded our expectations.”
How It Works
A clear, collaborative process from the first call to the final reveal.
We meet at your home, walk through the space, and talk through your vision — no pressure, no obligation. John-Michael comes prepared with smart questions.
We work through every decision side by side — materials, layout, fixtures, finishes. You customize as much or as little as you want.
You receive a detailed, transparent estimate — no hidden fees, no vague line items. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs.
Work begins with daily updates throughout. We finish on time, keep your space clean, and don’t leave until everything is right.
Included With Every Project
Most remodels leave you guessing. Every JMR client gets a private login to a live project tracker — so you always know exactly where things stand, even on the days you can’t be home.
No lost text threads. No wondering what got decided. Everything about your project in one place, updated as the work happens.
Get in Touch
Every great remodel starts with a conversation. Reach out and John-Michael will be in touch within 24 hours to schedule your free in-home consultation.
The schedule typically books three to four months out. Consultations are happening now, so the earlier you reach out, the sooner your project lands on the calendar.
Full bathroom remodels typically start around $20,000 and move up from there based on scope and material selections. Smaller repairs and single-fixture swaps aren’t a fit for what I do.
