"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."
"Great experience with Armada Construction! Ivan and his crew were fast, reliable and trustworthy. We hired them for an extensive bathroom remodel and loved how careful and respectful they were with our home and pets. They never left our gate open and always took time to greet our dog:) They brought our bathroom vision to life. They moved toilet, shower and vanity locations and did a beautiful installation with our tile. Definitely recommend this crew!"

"I hired Mikey to remodel my master bathroom and was completely satisfied with not only the results but the entire process. His bid was very fair and the craftsmanship was exceptional! The decision to go with him was one of the best decisions I made. I'm proud of the work and the experience I had. In fact, I had him remodel my other two bathrooms. If you are considering a contractor I would highly recommend you at least meet with Mikey from Progressive Builders. I got peace of mind and the comfort that hiring a contractor does not have to be a nightmare like most are."

"Sam has worked with us on our kitchen redesign and remodel, master bathroom remodeling, closet build out and our media center. Sam is very professional and honest person. His design work is extremely accurate and he never let us down. He is focused, pays attention to our ideas and visions and more than that, he was able to includes them in the design and remodeling. For any remodeling project, Sam is definitely the first one in our list to call."
"Very well. They showed up on time and did excellent work both fast and efficient. the quality of work was excellent and will use them again when we remodel the kitchen."
"â The entire team were amazing. We were very hesitant and nervous about the remodel of our master bath as we had not done a remodel before. We interviewed others and continued to delay the project each year as we heard so many nightmarish bathroom remodel stories from friends, until we met Expert Home Builders owner. He kept his promises about budget and timing and delivered even more than we expected. His team arrived and departed according to plan, were extremely neat and even protected our very new hardwood floors (which they had to walk across numerous times daily) from any damage. Our bathroom is everything we hoped for and have been enjoying it for nearly a year. Thank you for a wonderful work !"
"My husband and I have been looking for someone to help us with the remodeling around the house. We are getting old and we were afraid that someone might take advantage of us. Luckily we found Quality Remodeling and we felt so much relief. Sean came out to see us on September 19th 2012. He brought all of his license information and wouldn't even come into our house until we felt comfortable with the idea. We showed him the problem and he took measurements. What my husband and I liked the most was that he never pressured us. He told us to take time and think about it. He gave us a great price and was even willing to help us out with financing, but luckily we didn't need it. I would recommend this company to all of my friends. In fact Sean has done work for my daughter as well. Quality is really a wonderful company and they were a pleasure to deal with.
A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.
Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.
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.
In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.
Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.
