"Jim was very prompt and seemed responsive. He is a nice guy who works hard.  He started the work when he said he would and kept it on schedule in spite of some difficult weather.   His brother worked with him the first few days, but after that he did all of the work himself. 
Unfortunately, the work does not look as professional as I had hoped.  Some of the wood is not cut straight, edges are not smooth, and there are many gaps between boards. 
As the work got toward completion I told him of my concern that the workmanship was not good.  Jim said he would get it all fixed up at the end.  He filled some gaps with wood filler and sanded them, but did not finish due to rain.  The filled and sanded joints still look sloppy.  Unfortunately, these joints are right in front of the kitchen window, where we see them all the time.
Jim said he has a lifetime guarantee on his work and will come back to finish this up.  I hope he will.
Another builder told me that the structural work on the deck is very good, even "overbuilt," which I was glad to hear.

Update: Jim came back and relaid some of the boards on the deck and it looks much better! I would definitely hire him again.

Update:  The second summer after Jim built the deck I stained it myself, so I got a close look at the workmanship. Many boards were split by nailing, decking is not spaced uniformly, and  joints are not well fitted. "

"They are excellent! They were here on time, went right to work and made sure everything was working properly before they left. They also made sure that every piece of lint or fuzz was cleaned up and left spotless."

"We've had Patrick at our home for several different projects. The first time he removed an old ceiling fan and installed a new fan in the bathroom. It went so well, that we had him move a ceiling fan from one room to another, then install a new ceiling fan in the dining room. We have an older home and he had to do more work than expected to install one of the fans. Even though it cost him more time than estimated, he stuck with his original price. A few months later he worked on an exterior door that we were having trouble closing and locking. Patrick replaced the hinges and squared up the opening. We were also going to replace the door knob but after he realigned the door, he found that there was no reason to. The last project we had him do was a small repair on the metal roof that came loose on one edge of the house. It's a 2 story house so for safety reasons we rented a lift and he had the repair done in a few hours. I will definitely hire Patrick again. His prices are more than fair, he sticks by his word and he's able to do most any repair that is needed. He shows up on time and works fast and efficiently. Thanks Patrick Mark Morris"

"Steve not only knows construction and design but can also think outside the box when issues arise. He has good ideas and can help the less experienced through a project. Not only that but my master sewer line backed up while he was working and he brought his snake out to try to unclog it which wasn’t included in the original scope of work. Overall he’s a very nice guy who gets the job done right."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.
