"Oh we can't say enough about Rueben and his crew.. the work was top notch and talk about craftsmanship, there is no comparison.. we were on a budget and they came through and made everything work. We had a sunroom and bath added to our h ome and we just love them. The crew of guys were always very polite and just a great group of young men doing the best job we could of imagined. Ruben was always on top of the job, making sure things were done right. He came every day to check on his crew and asked if we had any concerns. So on that note if you need any construction on your home or business give this company a call, you won't be sorry."

Customers say: Quick response

"Clear communication throughout the entire process. The folks showed up when they said they would and delivered the end product as promised. When other contractors gave high estimates by trying to expand the scope of work, Hunts came in with integrity and skill and did the repairs that I asked for in a timely manner and properly. I highly recommend them! Itâ s also great doing business with people who are honest and trustworthy. With a handshake from one of the owners, I knew immediately that I would get quality work."

"Ken is a skilled professional who is very respectful the homeowner and their property.  His work was very high quality, his price reasonable, and he was easy to work with.  I'm extremely pleased with the work Ken did and have already started my list of future projects.  Ken makes helpful suggestions, always cleans up before he goes home for the day, and is very knowledgeable about the kind of work he does.  I highly recommend Ken!!

"I was extremely happy with my experience with World Painting from start to finish.  Colby, the owner, was quick to respond to my request for a bid and arrived on time to scheduled appointments.  He is very professional as well as all of his staff.  He explained the entire process and even provided a consultant to help decide on paint color and options.  This was very helpful!  The painters always arrived on time, were very professional and respectful of my home, and cleaned up after themselves.  I have several friends who have used World Painting and they have all been happy with their results.  I will definitely call them again!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

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.

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

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.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
