"DeWit Construction and roofing did a great job on my roof and were there to deal with all issues. Tim was a real pleasure to work with! I contacted Tim after reading his reviews on Angie's list. He responded right away and came out to do an estimate. I told Tim about the issues we we're having with ice dams and leaking around the chimney. He explained how they use the ice and snow guard on all the ridges and valleys and would over compensate around the chimney to make so no water could get through. His estimate was very reasonable and I felt that he would make sure the job was done right. It took us a while to get our ducks in a row because we planned several projects as part of the Neighbor Finance Corppration. Tim followed up with us on a regular basis to see how the process was progressing. When we finally got the loan approved and were scheduling the contractors. Tim was very helpful in making sure we did things in the proper order. He advised us to hold off on getting the driveway replaced until the roofing was completed so that they wouldn't cuase any damage to the driveway when they placed their dumpster or used their crane to lift the shingles. He also wanted to mKe sure that the work on the chimney was completed before he began work on the roof. I had some difficulty getting the masonry guy to provide a firm date he could start work, but Tim said that he would schedule us in within a few days of whenever the chimney was completed. He was true to his word and started work the next Monday. This really helped us out because we could keep the concrete contractors in the loop and get them scheduled right after. Tim was on the scene early on Monday with his crew to get the job started. I have a very steep roof that provided some challenges during the tearoff but they kept at the job until late into the evening. They were back early the next morning to finish the job. I took pictures of the work throughout the day and was pleased with the way they did the job and the quality of the work. They cleaned up after themselves very well and I've only found one nail that was sitting on a window ledge. Tim showed me how they were protecting the chimney to prevent water from getting into the house. There were a few issues with the job. During the tearoff a couple of window screens were damaged. Also, since Tim contracted out the gutter replacement, he couldn't control their schedule as easily as he could with his own crew. I was concerned since we were expecting some heavy rain on Thursday. Tim had his crew over there again on Thursday morning and installed a temporary gutter on the front of the house where we have had problems in the past with water getting in to the basement. They also.laid out some tarps to help with water runoff by the chimney. Tim also offered.us $200 compensation for the window screens and for the inconvience over the gutters. It took a month for the gutter contractor to finish the job. They installed the gutters within a couple of weeks but had to wait another couple weeks to.get the leaf guard in place. Tim insisted all along that we didn' t have to pay anything until the entire job was completed. I even offered to pay for the roof portion after the gutters were installed, but he insisted that we didn't need to do that until everything was done.

"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!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

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.

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.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.
