Since first day Jess was very helpful and transparent with the information we needed and was always available for any question we might had. He and his team did everything to make the experience as smooth and efficient as possible. It only took 2 weeks to complete the remodeling and they were very professional and always on time with the schedule."

"I HAVE USED JOE BOYER'S CO. ON NUMEROUS REMODEL PROJECTS. JOE'S CO. IS TOP SHELF FROM START TO FINISH. HIS WORK IS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE IS GREAT TO WORK WITH. ALWAYS ON TIME AND RETURNS PHONE CALLS RIGHT AWAY. WHEN HE COMPLETES A PROJECT THE JOBSITE IS SPOTLESS. I USUALLY DON'T MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. I KNOW JOE'S WORK ETHICS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM GIVING JOE HIGH MARKS FOR HIS PROFESSIONALISM. UNFORTUNATELY, I MOVED ACROSS COUNTRY AND NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO JOE BOYER'S SERVICES."

"Emaintenance company was so helpful in making our home remodeling stress free. They painted our home from top to the bottom ( ceiling, walls, baseboards). The owner of this company is very nice. He totally worked unsupervised while we were in Virginia. He suggested colors for our walls, it looks amazing. They did such a wonderful job with our home. It is so nice to find people with exceptional work ethics and experience. We highly recommend them for high-end projects you may have."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
