"The team was amazing! We had an old deck in our backyard and we hired Palm Construction to replace and extend it and they did a great work! The job was done in less than 2 weeks, Communication was great, they cared about the backyard and plants and we are so happy itâ s all ready just before summer. Highly recommended!!"

"Very professional. Completed the job in two weeks. The deliverables were as promised. They were very independent, requiring only minimal involvement from the client. However, communication with the owner could be enhanced a bit."
"The bathroom remodel went well. The completed work was beautiful and completed on time. Especially great job on the tile work. Would definitely hire again"
"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"
"To remodel our home, we chose Wise Builders over a couple other firms that were also highly rated because at our first meeting, Nathan, a project manager, after walking through the house with us to assess the job, also gave us a detailed and organized presentation of what we could expect working with their company during the remodel process. The remodel is finished, and not only are the results everything we hoped for and more, but the the process was all that Nathan told us we could expect from them. I'm describing it here as I did for a Yelp review: Contact with Nathan was easy and reliable. My text messages received an immediate reply during business hours, and when inspiration or anxiety struck on a weekend, the resulting email was answered promptly Monday morning. Nathan also called with regular updates on Monday mornings and as needed, since we were living off-site during demolition and construction. In an industry notorious for running months behind projected completion dates, our project was started as scheduled 5/1/18 and finished within the 3-4 month estimate, with final walkthrough 8/9/18. Nathan gives credit for that, along with the quality of work, to the foreman, Ervin, and his crew. Whenever my husband dropped by tending his garden, he witnessed a focused and hardworking crew, often fining Ervin and others putting in weekend hours to keep the project on schedule despite delays and added work after the initial time estimate had been made. It appears Wise Builders is run by people that value their reputation for high quality, and everyone in the company invests to maintain it. I saw it reflected in the polite and professional interactions, the organization and preparation, and in the end product, seen in the details achieved by using the best craftsmen in their field, along with a skilled crew. I saw it in the way they provided more than was required or expected because it would make something function better or be safer. I've seen it too in their willingness to address concerns or fix problems, even after the remodel project is done. Nathan told us to keep a list of any touchup or adjustment needs noticed in the first month living in in our remodeled house, then they would return to fix everything on the list. When I contacted Nathan about a plumbing problem that I didn't think could wait a month to be checked, Ervin came out promptly to diagnose and fix it. An unchanging commitment to retaining high-quality employees and maintaining high-quality service and workmanship assures that I and other clients will continue to recommend Wise Builders to others and return to them for any future building needs. p.s. I don't have the computer skills to attach a photo, but if you contact Wise Builders and ask to see photos of the Yakel remodel in San Jose, they have many they can show you! The work was extensive- it included a remodeled and expanded kitchen, new floors and windows throughout, paint throughout, two remodeled bathrooms including an expanded and reconfigured master bath, the addition of a walk-in closet to the master bedroom, and the removal of some walls along with raising the floor level in the sunken living room and family room to allow for an expanded kitchen and more open flow to surrounding spaces. As part of all of this there were changes to plumbing, electrical, and foundation work."
"I met Ben in my first appointment and I decided to move forward together. Today after the roof remodel done im super happy and satisfied from the result and fro. The process. Ben go with me together the whole project and make me feel very secured and comfortable. The crew was very fast and professional Definitely ill contact Ben and palm construction for my next project. Thank you very much for your hard work !"
Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.
Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you’ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you’re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you’ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you’re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you’ll save considerable money.
Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don’t skip it!
