"Probably could have said my house was about to collapse and sold me an expensive fix. Instead, told me to wait until the drought causing the ground to shrink over, and the foundation would probably start to close again. Which it did. Strait shooters. I'd trust their advice."

"Al was very kind and straightforward. He did initially tried to charge me a little more than the average for the area but after I explained that I had done research for the labor costs and already have materials he got the cost significantly also mention that you found him on Angie's List. I am very pleased with how the floor looks they did a very quick job some very weird layouts because my house is strange though I love its eccentricity. Though it takes a long time to book him because he is usually busy he works very fast, but not sloppily, and the work was completed in approximately 4 days with a small crew of three one of whom was his son. we are almost done with most of our work but I'm a call him back for some minor repairs thing that needs to be completed the only complaint I have is that at least one of the workers is a smoker and I found a few cigarette butts in my yard or in the bushes next to where they were sawing which was not very pleasant. That is a minor complaint though because as contractors go they show up on time and they get the work done and they get the work done well; which, I don't know if you use very many contractors, is unusual and a good thing. Overall I would use them again in a heartbeat and I would suggest them to other people.

"The company has been top of the line. They were very professional. They did an amazing job. What I wanted was did much greater than I could have ever imagine. With total remodeling of my entire home, I don’t think I could have bought a newer home with this much detail work and beauty. I would recommend NYMA to everyone, and of course if I need anything in the future, I will use them again."

"We have two decks, one on the front of the house, and a large deck on the rear.  We've taken pretty good care of the decks over the years and have stained and sealed them every 3-4 years.  It was time to do it again! I called three of the top rated companies from Angie's List and set up appointments for them to look and the job and give us a quote. All three showed up as scheduled, and provided emailed quotes within a couple of days, as agreed.  I was happy with all three of them.  They all appeared to be sincere and honest, and I'm sure that any of them would have done a good job.  I was most impressed with Eric Cooley. He asked questions, gave me options, and explained his recommendations. My impressions were that I wanted Eric to do the job if his quote was in line with the others.  When all the quotes were in, his was the most reasonable, and, by far, the most complete and detailed as to what he was going to do.  I called him and gave him the go ahead to do the work.  He sent Michael out to do the job which began with a very thorough cleaning job on both decks, a great deal of which was done on his hands and knees.  The decks were not really that dirty,but when he was done, they were spotless!  Michael came back after the decks had completely dried and began hand painting the decks. To say that he did a great job would be an understatement. I watched him smoothing out brush strokes and giving our decks the attention that I would expect from an interior job!  Michael went way above and beyond what I expected, and I had high expectations.  The decks look fantastic and I'm extremely pleased with the job that Cooley Painting and Michael did for us.  I can't wait for the next project so that I can use their services again!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
