Q: Should I buy or build a custom basement bar?

• <div><p>If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you&rsquo;re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.</p></div>

Q: When should you not finish a basement?

• <div><p>Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn&rsquo;t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. </p></div>

Q: Will adding a walkout basement increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that&rsquo;s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren&rsquo;t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to live in a finished basement?

• <div><p>Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted. </p></div>

Q: Should you pay a contractor up front?

• <div><p>In most cases, a contractor will ask you for a deposit that is a percentage of the total cost of your job, but you should never pay in full before work has begun. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-i-pay-general-contractor-prior-starting-job.htm">up-front cost</a> could be as much as 50%, or you might give a contractor as little as 10% up front. Discuss payment terms with your contractor before they begin the job to avoid surprises.</p></div>

He removed old wall paper, patched and sanded, then painted prepped walls in a timely manner. He showed up when he said he would and finished in a timely manner. Because heâ s an overall jack-of-all-trades, he also replaced all electrical outlets and plates. I had two cabinet drawers that were...

Needed some cabinets remodeled to fit a slide in stove. Called to confirm and showed up on top, did an excellent job, very friendly and kind. Pricing was very fair for the work done and you could tell they knew what they were doing. Will definitely use again.

Excellent service. Did a complete remodel on an older house. Tommy stayed true to his price quote and was available on the days we were ready for him. Would recommend Tommy to anyone. In fact we are calling him to come back this week so we can get started on our guest bathroom.
