"I can’t say enough good things about this company. I needed to get my stairs rebuilt as they were dangerous. They delivered. They were the fastest to get on the schedule, best price, and made very quick work of it. They also showed up when they said they would. Exceeded my expectations. Hire them. You will be pleased."

"I highly recommend this company. They were professional and so easy to work with. We talked briefly about our wants and then scheduled a time to do a walk through to review the job in detail. Nathan came prepared with paint samples in the color we thought we wanted. After the walk through we decided on a completely different shade of paint, Striving For Excellence was more than understanding and accommodating. Even after the change in paint color we had a few additional changes in wants, and Striving For Excellence worked diligently to meet all of our needs. Our schedule has been a little crazy lately and they accommodated the job completion around our schedule, which in some cases was after normal operating hours. The crew is more than professional, they are personable, that is hard to come by with companies. Upon arriving, Cameron, Nathan, Donivon, and Gavin professionally introduced themselves. All of our questions were answered and with their knowledge and expertise, they were able to easily navigate us through not only our needs, but our wants as well. They were prompt and cleaned up behind their selves. All employees were friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond our expectations. This is a company we highly recommend, and will continue to use in the future for all our needs."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’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.
