What should I consider when designing a bar in my basement?

• <div><p>Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:</p><ul><li><p>Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?</p></li><li><p>What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?</p></li><li><p>Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?</p></li><li><p>Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?</p></li><li><p>Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can you jack up a house and add a basement?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you&rsquo;re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement. </p></div>

Q: What are the hardest parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they&rsquo;re the parts we typically don&rsquo;t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.</p></div>

We were completely happy when Everdry of Greater Indiana waterproofed our basement. In the recent floods we had, many of our neighbors had water in their basements. But thanks to Everdry we didn't! We think they are very professional and would highly recommend them.

Everydry installed my waterproofing basement, sump and airflow system about 3 years ago now and I'm still happy with the results. I'm no longer concerned when there is a big rain if the horizontal crack will be leaking or if any other water damage is looming.

Our remodeling projects were significant and complicated: a full basement that was in shambles (partially-finished with a haphazard layout) and an upstairs hall bath that was outdated and suffering from plumbing issues. To put it bluntly, we had no idea what to do with these two problem spaces...

My wife called Isbell due to our hot water heater (HWH) leaking. They arrived, looked it over, and said that the hwh needed to be replaced and that they would go get one and come back. 40 minutes later they called and said that they needed to do the job the next day. Two of them showed up but...

FC Electric was beneficial to us and they performed well. As a new home owner, I am often skeptical about who I choose to work on my wife's and I home. They came out and gave a me a reasonable estimate to rewire our unfinished basement, for free. Paul, the owner, confirmed that the guys would...
