"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

Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.
