"It went great. Jerry showed up, as scheduled and prioritized jobs to fit with the ever changing spring weather! What would have taken me at least a month of procrastination, Jerry had finished in two days. Since he has so many building and finishing skills, I think I will have him do some remodeling next!"
"Nathan completed about 20 different jobs within 2 weeks on our 120-year old house, porch, basement, & garage. Every detail was handled perfectly! The results are beautiful & we couldnâ  t be happier. Apparently there isnâ  t anything he canâ  t do! We were impressed with his character & knowledge from the initial consultation. He was helpful, creative, timely, focused, precise, neat & clean, and went beyond our expectations with all of his work, which he completed entirely himself. His pricing was perfectly fair. We have already recommended him to others, & will be proud to continue doing so. Thank you so very much, Nathan!!"
"Tim was very quick to respond as he was there soon after the flood. He was very professional in helping us determine what needed to be done, and then executed it all without a hitch. As mentioned previously, he took the time and had the tools and skills to make a big mess clean once again. The finished basement was completely cleaned up. He also worked well with our renters. Very efficient and gave us a good price for the work. Thanks to him and his company."

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.
Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.
Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.
Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes.
It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.
