"Very happy with the patio addition, and walkway they did for me. They also adjusted my fence for the concrete so it would still open. I would highly recommend them and would be more than willing to show before and after photos."

"Bobs work, attention to detail and pricing were outstanding. I've been looking/needing a Handyman since purchasing my home 3 years ago and may have found the guy in Bob! He kept me informed of when the service would be done and an issue that arouse during the work. We talked about best solution and moved forward from there. My neighbor has been waiting for me to give him the referral of Bob's work as he too is needing a skilled Handyman......Bob has earned my referral!"

"I purchased an old home that needed extensive work, particularly flooring. Two rooms downstairs and the entire upstairs needed all new floors, some with remediation of sub surfaces. All the work was done beautifully, on time, and on budget."

"Carpet restreched for every room in three bedroom ranch home. The project objective was to remove ripples in the carpets which had developed due to initial poor installation - home builder / carpet dealer would not stand behind their installation. This contractor was very honest and professional - project started and completed on time within cost estimates."

"Having worked with Josh for the first time on a painting project in our new home, about a month ago... I decided to give him a shot at quoting and ultimately winning the bid for our fence. He had already proved his trustworthy ethics and willingness to keep customers satisfied. He was willing to start by digging the holes on a Saturday (never heard of a contractor working on the weekend), so that he could get out ahead of the impeding rain for the week. He made sure the holes were dig right with a two man auger and spared no expense on the concrete to set the posts (since we will be in the home for years to come).
Although the job did take a couple days longer than expected, this was in no way shape or form Josh's fault, as we had torrential downpours for two days and he had the decency to ask if it was ok not to work in the rain since not only was it dangerous, all of the trampling would ruin my grass.
He promised me that the job would be completed by Friday, and even pulled an extra person off of another job of his to make sure the man power was there to get the job done and done right.
The fence turned out absolutely great, and I couldn't be happier! The only problem is.. I cant seem to find enough work around the house to keep having him help! As stated in a review last month, Josh represents the new generation of contractors, one with honestly, loyalty, great prices and quality craftsmanship... a true asset."

"Steve and Anna did a full basement remodel for me after I had had a problem with mold and the remediation had left a lot of damage. The work included some repair work, drywalling, enclosing part of the room as a closet, installing new vinyl flooring throughout, and completely rebuilding a bathroom. They did a great job! Very courteous and worked with me to find the best deals on fixtures and materials. I am very happy with the results. Will have them back for another project."

"I originally met Mr. Washburn when he was recommended to me from a roofing company to fix my ceilings as I had water damage. He did great work, so I contacted him three years later for a complete bathroom remodel and to install new windows on my house. The bathroom was in quite bad shape due to water damage and leaking. Greg worked out a plan for us and really listened to make what we wanted happen. Our bathroom is finished now as of two days ago and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Greg is honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, just a great guy! He is very precise and thorough. I got the feeling he was repairing my house like he would his own. He takes pride in doing things right the first time and that's exactly what he did! After the windows, next he is going to install a new water heater for us. Sometime this summer, we plan on hiring Greg again to build a fence for us. Basically, Greg was a miracle for us and if you need work done right the first time with awesome results, look no further, Greg is the man with mad skills!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

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.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you.
