"I recently hired Erick's Painting Services LLC for a full interior repaint of my home, and I can confidently say they are the best in the business. From the initial consultation to the final brushstroke, their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service were truly outstanding. The team was punctual, respectful of my space, and meticulously clean — they took great care to protect my furniture and flooring and left no mess behind. The color consultation was incredibly helpful; their expert provided thoughtful suggestions that matched my style and lighting perfectly. The quality of the workmanship is second to none. Every line is crisp, every coat is even, and the finish looks like something out of a magazine. They used premium paints, and the results speak for themselves — my home feels completely transformed. What stood out the most was their communication and commitment to satisfaction. They checked in at every stage, welcomed feedback, and made sure I was 100% happy with the results before wrapping up.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

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. 

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.
