One of the Blackstone Exteriors representatives dropped a business card at my home a few weeks ago, and I eventually made contact with him. We discussed roofing arrangements, Blackstone agreed to do the roof for the amount of insurance settlement. It took about another 10 days, but I received a couple days notice of when the crew was to arrive. The crew of 7 workers arrived at their appointed time, immediately set out to work, stripped off the old damaged shingles, prepared the underlayment for the new shingles and a few short hours later, my roof was done. The crew cleaned up the area of scraps and hauled away the trailer full of the old damaged shingles. The only small complaint I had was that the roofing crew failed to run a magnet around my house to pick up stray nails. I had to borrow a co-worker's to get the job done. I brought this up to the company representative who then took off an amount we mutually agreed upon on the day we settled up. Overall, so far I'm very satisfied with the job. I would recommend Blackstone Exteriors to anyone interested.

But Mike came within hours of my call, from the next county over. He did not ask for a trip charge. He had to replace other pipes as we began trying them out after the leak I reported was repaired. The house had been closed down for years, so I understood why several had broken from freezing. I would have paid just about anything, but he only charged $145. The crawl space he had to go clear through was very unpleasant, but he is just the nicest guy and quite professional. He would not remark on the dirt and cobwebs. He proceeded after testing the water to light the gas water heater without being asked. I just can't say what a pure joy it is in 90-degree weather to have someone nice care that I was going without running water, do a perfect job (replaced pipes are holding up fine), and then not overcharge me. God Bless that man.

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Story City, IA
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
