BTS Builders is an owner operated small business. We have been licensed since 2016 but in the contracting trade since 2006. The owner, Ben Saunders, has been apart of building multiple homes from the ground up as well as many types of remodels and additions. We now specialize in outdoor structures, pergolas and deck builds. Our crew works on these types of structures on a daily basis which makes us efficient through the job and gives the customer the quality product they are looking for. We would love to connect with you about any projects you might need done and hopefully be of service to you in anyway we can. We appreciate your consideration.

"My husband's review: Great crew, superior work, fun to have around the house and will definitely hire again. My review: The afternoon after signing up for Angi, Ben, the owner of BTS Builders texted me to arrange a time to review our project. He arrived the following day and we set things in motion. Our deck rebuild was his first Angi project and the first time we used Angi! We couldn't be happier with the results! Ben stood by his estimate (which can be difficult to get from some contractors) and the timeline. He even fitted in a part of the project to complete it even though we didn't originally schedule it! He and his team were outstanding...gregarious, timely, fastidious about cleaning up the site. The crew has pride in their work and have fun while doing it. A double thumbs up for BTS Builders for your construction needs."

I am a Small General Contractor with a special interest in environmentally responsible green building projects. Because this is often not financially practical for many of my clients I do what I am hired to do and do it well!

"The owner of Green Bee Construction needs to be held accountable for poor and faulty workmanship. The project with Green Bee Construction was for my front entry and was overwhelmed with countless errors and missteps. First, their design was flawed with incorrect structural measurements (picture and video proof), 2) redwood beams were stained incorrectly (picture and video proof), 3) his concrete mixer crashed through my garage door, ripped up my driveway, and left the place a mess, (picture and video proof), 4) window glass measurements were incorrect (picture proof), and 5), only less than two years, my new ceiling that Green Bee Construction installed in my front entry is falling apart (picture proof). The crew of Green Bee was very likable and professional. However, the owner of Green Bee Construction is a different story; he will never take responsibility for any mistakes. Nor will he take accountability for poor or faulty construction after his one-year warranty. Trust, I paid all of my bills on time for this project, and my credit score is 840+. My advice would be to get a longer warranty if you decide to do business with Green Bee Construction, but most importantly, hold the owner accountable for every mistake (large or small) during the construction process, even after one year of completion!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’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. 

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
