"As a real estate agent - I am always looking for reliable vendors to help me with my client's needs. Trevor and his crew have always been professional and easy to work with. I have used them in my personal home as well. I highly recommend them for all of your construction needs!"
"Tim is absolutely the best! His work is perfect. He remodeled 2 bathrooms along with a porch. These were the most stress free projects by far we have ever experienced. Great communication, respectful, cleanliness, value and very professional. So easy to work with. We are so happy with the work! Absolutely would recommend him."
"They had an estimator at our location the day I first made contact. Rob was friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. He answered all my questions and respected my timeline and need to gather other quotes. I was especially grateful for Rob's detailed explanation for his approach to our roofing needs. In the end we did not go with Deans, but only because we opted for a different approach to redo the flat part of the roof. The Deans price estimate was on the lower end of 4 that we received, and was definitely reasonable. I am keeping their name and number for future construction and repair needs. "
"He remodeled my kitchen and done an excellent job I could ask for better and my kitchen is a dream come true. Will definitely be hiring again! Amazing work!!!"
"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!
"I AM SO HAPPY I WENT WITH VISA! Visa Flooring & Cabinets did an amazing job at my house, they went above and beyond my expectations! I love the way my floors, cabinets and granite got installed! I will definitely be coming back and referring others to this company. The customer service Is outstanding, communication was good too."
"Went very well. Removed old rotted post. Mixed and poured concrete base for new post. Cut and installed new post. Looks great, should last as long as the house. Very happy with work. I was present when Richard came and removed the old post and poured concrete. Was very enjoyable sharing Snellville area memories with him while he worked. Missed being there when he came back to install new post. "
In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.
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.
Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
The average cost of remodeling a basement is $30 to $75 per square foot. If your space is unfinished and looks like it may need more help, use the higher number when calculating your estimated basement remodeling costs. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional 20% to the top of your estimate to cover any “what if” situations.
