"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."

"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!

"Terry is very good at what he does. And when it comes to handyman services, he can really do it all. He built two bedrooms from our loft and master bedroom from scratch. Put up drywalls, doors, cabinets, replaced and installed three toilets, replace and installed three ceiling fans, installed new ac vents, replaced bathroom faucets, replaced bidets for toilets, and even created additional electrical outlets. He is very knowledgeable, kind. Courteous, and professional. His prices are very reasonable and affordable compared to the rest. The quality you get from the work he does is money well spent. I highly recommend you hire Terry Tapman handyman services for your next home renovation."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.
