"My bathroom renovation was completely done in just a few days. The guys were knowledgeable and hard working as well as friendly. I have more projects that I will definitely be having done by them. Hixson contracting is also very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing work done."

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
