"I could not be more happy with the Professionalism and absolute caring that went into the Remodel of the inside of my home. Everyone on the team were polite, cleaned up after themselves, even taking careful consideration of the fact that I had an elderly mom with Alzheimer’s and dementia living in the house while the work was being done, as you can imagine, they sometimes had to deal with things that were not in their job description, but they were kind, compassionate, and understanding all throughout the long process. I could never think of using anyone else Frank Nico, Laura, Josh, and many more of their team team, all extremely professional on time every day and a joy to be around they felt more like family by the time they were done. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any construction job They will do the the job fast fair and absolutely beautiful results! Five out of five doesn’t seem to be enough I say they’re 10 out of 10!!!"

"Following the proposal which we accepted, the entire project from beginning to end was completed in timely and professional
manner.  The crew who was assigned to this job worked daily until they had completed that portion of the project which had
been undertaken for that day.  When they left each evening you would had know anyone had been at our residence working.
There was a couple of modifications to the house to accommodate the installation of the sliding glass doors and the french 
doors.  Everything was done by the crew from Florida Lifetime and the stucco contractor in a very professional manner.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone.  A very pleasant experience for once.

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

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.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.
