My other half and I have both been working in construction / home repair for the better part of 10 plus years separately and both decided it was time to work for ourselves. We are capable of fixing and installing potentially all of your wildest dreams. We do anything from interior and exterior painting, repair or install drywall, replace flooring, refinish cabinets or any other furniture you have that needs some updating. We also offer full cleaning services if you’re sick of doing your own chores and want someone else to do them for you. We are the ultimate dynamic duo because we’re extremely efficient, honest, and just downright talented. You won’t be spending insane amounts of money on labor from multiple people who don’t know what they’re doing. You’re paying for the quality of your home, your family’s well being, and we plan on keeping it that way. If you can dream it, we can make it happen. And if we can’t, we’ll help you get in contact with someone who can. We both love what we do, and we can assure you that you’re gonna love it too.

"I hired them to remove the old vanity and install a new one. After they completed the job, I had to hire a plumber to fix it (same day). There was a P-trap installed backwards, a pipe was too long, and there was no gasket on one pipe. owner will not respond. Also, we had a deal that they could take the current knobs in the bathroom off the cabinets if they would replace them. They took the knobs, but did not replace. So essentially, they stole the knobs. The clean up after the job was poor, there was a lack of professionalism, and they did not show up when they said they were going to on multiple occasions. It took six days to get the vanity replaced. Beware."

"I own a house which is around 90 years old. Its basement had compromised walls, one of which was seriously bowed. In addition, after heavy rain, the basement floor would be wet. I got estimates from three companies to correct these problems. Pivotal was a clear standout. The owner Jeff, his family members Andy and James, along with the rest of the crew make up a terrific team. Jeff and Andy visited my basement twice for long and detailed planning sessions. The actual work took 7 days for completion with James as foreman. All the problems of my basement were fully addressed. My bowed wall is now vertical, with strong supports along all walls every few feet. A complete waterproofing system was installed which feeds to my sump pump.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.

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.

A moisture or vapor barrier helps separate the warm air inside your home from the cold air outside of it. Without it, your walls could collect condensation, mold, or other damage. Check your local building codes to see if including an interior vapor barrier is necessary for your building project or renovation, especially for rooms that are likely to be humid, like bathrooms.

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable.
