"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"We hired Vault Enterprises for a home remodel that included adding a mud room, home office, and bunk area. The work was completed on time, within budget, and to a very high standard. The mud room is functional and well-designed, the office is exactly what we needed for a quiet work space, and the bunk area turned out great ? perfect for guests or kids. Communication throughout the project was clear and consistent. The crew was professional, respectful of our home, and kept the workspace clean. Overall, a solid experience and great results. We?d gladly work with them again."

"In December of 2012 I had a fire in my kitchen, which left significant damage. I spent 4 months trying to come up with a suitable design for a complete remodel. After paying several designers for plans, and having a series of contractors give unrealistic estimates, I was losing hope. I went on Home Advisor one morning to look for someone to glaze my windows and ended up getting contacted by David Schwager from DD&G. He called within minutes of my request and came out that morning to give an estimate. As we were sitting at my kitchen table, I told him of my frustration with the kitchen. In a matter of minutes he looked around and gave me the best ideas possible, given my space. He then followed up with an estimate that was reasonable for the scope of the project (unlike other contractors who tack on extra money just because I live in a nice neighborhood). Needless to say, I was elated and we went under contract the next day.
David listens intently and works with you to create your dreams. He has incredible vision and can not only give you his ideas but can also take your ideas and make wonderful suggestions. The end result for me was something greater than I ever could have imagined on my own. I also have to admit that there were a few challenging moments (like when I changed my mind on something that I previously approved, or I had expectations that some things would be done faster than they were) however David remained the consummate professional through it all. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I am sure I will be contacting him for future services."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.
