Q: Is an extension less expensive than a loft conversion?

• <div><p>Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.</p></div>

Q: Do I need rebar on a basement floor?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t skip it!</p></div>

Q: When should you not finish a basement?

• <div><p>Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What should I consider when designing a bar in my basement?

• <div><p>Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:</p><ul><li><p>Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?</p></li><li><p>What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?</p></li><li><p>Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?</p></li><li><p>Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?</p></li><li><p>Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What's the difference between remodeling a basement and finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. </p><p><b>Finishing a basement</b> is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.</p><p><b>Remodeling a basement</b> means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring. </p></div>

Great help to me for a small repair to my newly remodeled cabinetry. Mr. Zee was fast and efficient in the repair of my kitchen corner cabinet and I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY JOB AROUND THE HOUSE. Professional and on time.

Nick was great! He installed the new laundry tub with all new PVC pipe and it looks great. He also plugged one of the basement drains and recommended we leave access to the drain in case we need it in the future. - Megan Stevenson -
