".The contractor assessed the source of the water leaking into our basement.  He was adamant that he could not guarantee that his simple repair would work, but he wanted to try it before embarking on the expensive task of digging down and resealing the basement.  Since the leak had just appeared recently (and after some gardening work in that area), we agreed to risk the $1000 to try to caulk up the holes and regraded the soil near the leak. 
They came on time, finished on time, worked neatly and, most importantly, seemed to be effective in the results of the repair.
I definitely would use them again even though, I felt, that the little time that it took them to repair did not seem to be worth $1000.  On the other hand, I do not really know what a fair price is."

"JD did a great job for me.  He arrived when he said he would which was within a couple of hours from when I called.  He gave me a fair price, completed the work quickly, and did a good job.  His first priority seemed to be to do quality work and make sure that I was satisfied.  I was satisfied and I will call him again when needed."

"An excellent team of workers tore down the damaged exterior wall on one morning, them rebuilt it the next morning. The workers were very courteous, and friendly, worked almost silently and very efficiently. Not a lot of talk, each man knew what to do, and worked together as a well run team. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris."

"I hired Palm Builders to rebuild my fireplace after we had had a fire. They did an excellent job tying in with the charm of my log cabin and I will definitely hire them again. Their communication was great and they were very efficient in their work. I am very pleased,"

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.

Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.
