"They did an amazing job! Stole room from guest bath to enlarge master bathroom. Rerouted plumbing, built custom vanity, installed quartz countertops, amazing tile work, sheet rock and painted. Finish carpentry was perfect. Both bathrooms were very beautiful. Guest bathroom not pictured."

"When we purchased the house, it was a 30 year old home. Almost everybody in the period of five years to seven years wanted to convert to copper plumbing. So what they offered at that time was anyone you referred to if they chose to use their service, you have $500 cash payment which was really nice because half of our neighbors and our family members used them. I do not know what they do now, but it is a really nice service because they are a very good company. They did a great job."

"My initial impression of John was very positive.  He is very friendly and outgoing and was usually punctual.  His quote was well below other bidders and was one of three that actually submitted a bid.  Of the 12 contractors we contacted only 6 showed up and of those only 3 gave us a bid.  The initial contract was only for the retaining walls.  We told John that if we liked his work we would give him the patio paver job.
The work started right away and went on for about 2 weeks at a steady pace.  There was a lot of dirt to remove and the hill side was steep which made it difficult to get the dirt down to the street.  On the third week nobody showed up.  It took a few voice mails to John before he called me back and said they are working another job that week.  That seemed odd to me to pack up at one job, go to another, and then come back a week later.  The walls were finished the next week and looked great.  John started complaining about the cost of the dirt removal and wanted to discuss dump runs and extra payment.  I told him we can discuss that after the patio pavers were done.  He gave me an estimate right away for the pavers and said he could start in a week.  It took many phone calls and emails to finally get a start date a month later.  That was frustrating.  It only took them 2 days to get the pavers done.
I mentioned over and over to John that there was a lot of clean up to be done.  He kept giving me dates and then putting it off longer and longer.  A few weeks go by with no sign of John coming to clean up all the debris and rock piles that his guys left all over the yard.  There were also left over retaining wall blocks and pieces of concrete that were cut from an existing wall.  I finally called John and told him to forget about coming back and payment for extra dump runs and I ended up spending about 3 days cleaning everything up myself.
The work they did is some of the best I have seen, but the broken promises were very frustrating.  I really wanted to find a contractor I could use for numerous other projects and I was hoping it was John.  I asked him over and over to just keep me updated, but that failed to happen.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.

Yes, a crawl space can add value to your home. However, there is a higher chance of it adding value if it is an enclosed crawl space, as this reduces issues caused by excess moisture in the home. That being said, a basement does add more value than a crawl space.

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.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.
