"The sales person that came to our house was a very typical sales person and definitely not a designer. That worked in our favor, because we had already made choices on what we wanted. The project manager (Michael Gross) and the master installer (Jim Kesterson) were great to work with. Area's around our kitchen were protected, the work area was cleaned everyday. Jim was on time everyday, and kept us informed on his comings and goings. The project took two weeks and Michael came to inspect the work being done at least 5 times. The attention to detail, demonstrated by both Michael and Jim, gave us confidence that the final outcome would be (and is) what we were expecting and paid for."

"It is with absolute pleasure that my wife and I have the opportunity to write this review on behalf of Young Remodeling.  As business owners in the service industry (medical), we understand the importance of providing quality service, communicating effectively all while completing an endeavor in the most cost effective, time conserving manner.  On all accounts, every member of the team at Young Remodeling succeeded with a resounding A+++++ rating.
As with most home owners going through the process of a renovation, we performed our due diligence and met with five different companies/contractors over a period of two months.  We entertained and enjoyed hearing the varying sales concepts and design ideas all while trying to adhere to a budget with which we were comfortable.  Paul Young, owner of Young Remodeling, was our fourth contact and, in all reality, was our last.  His approach to the job at hand was both methodical and efficient, yet hands on and personal.  After all, it is his name on the business cards and it clearly showed in the pride he takes in his work....THANK YOU PAUL!!!!
After making our decision, we were assigned a designer (chosen by Paul based on our needs) to begin the process of fabricating the kitchen of our dreams.  Jenny was an absolute delight to work with and simply understood my wife and I from the very first meeting.  We met with her many times over the course of 4-6 weeks as we reviewed the various designs, narrowed down choices, and then finally came up with the final rendition.  She not only created the designs but also helped us choose from the myriad of material available (granite, back splash, tile, color schemes, etc). I would feel remiss if we did not mention that her computer renditions (numerous and accurate) were enjoyable to view and likely a great deal of work....THANK YOU JENNY!!!!
Once the design was complete, the structural engineer approved, and the city gave blessing on the design, we were assigned to Rex, who was the next important stage of the project.  Rex was our project manager who became the "go to" contact throughout the remainder of the renovation journey but was in no way isolated from Paul or Jenny.  Rex, in short, was simply amazing. He kept everyone (from permits, demolition, plumbing, electrical, drywall, ceiling repair, flooring, painting, cabinet install, granite install, appliance install) on a schedule and over the course of our 10-12 week renovation, we never varied from the "master schedule" but by a day or so.  We cannot say anything regarding Rex and his work ethic except for "Stellar Job"....THANK YOU REX!!!!
Behind the scenes of all the work done were the hardworking crews of the individual disciplines.  Each and every one of the crews involved in our renovation not only acted and performed in the most professional manner but are deserving of the same THANKS as the rest.  We would like to acknowledge the Demolition crew, the Framing /Building crew (Jamie, Jeff and Cody), the Drywall/Ceiling crew (Matt and his father), the Plumbing Crew, the Flooring crew (Carlos and his team), the Cabinet Install crew (Charlie and his team), the Granite install team (Evolve), and the Painting crew (Brent and his team)....THANK YOU ALL!!!!
As we have decided to stay in this home for the long term, we look very forward to our next projects in the years to come...basement remodel, master bathroom remodel and outdoor stone patio/sun room addition.  It goes without saying that we look forward to using Young Remodeling for all our future remodeling needs.

"We had reached a point where our master bathroom couldn't be used--the shower tile was falling apart, the toilet was leaking, we could see water damage to exterior of house was spreading, and the door from the bedroom to small deck wouldn't close. We gave up using our toilet/shower area and were instead sharing the main bathroom with two teenagers.  Our job was more about "repair" than the fun of "remodeling." 
We contacted Ethos, and we couldn't ask for a better contractor than David Gurwell.  He was honest, easygoing and always kept our budget in mind. He offered suggestions to save money (i.e., repairing toilet vs replacing), and we relied on David's opinion of products and businesses to help us make decisions about materials.  We wanted to make sure we were using quality products at a price we could afford.  David was also very patient with us, as we don't have much in the way of decorating skills (I once repainted a bathroom 3 times before I got to a color I liked).  We discussed tile vs Onyx for the shower, and while I like the look of tile, I really liked the idea of Onyx walls with only a couple seams (we have trouble with mold/mildew).  Had never heard of Onyx before, so appreciated David going over pros/cons.  We were originally going to use Onyx for the sink countertop too, but when I told David I just wasn't sure about it after seeing the displays at Home Depot & Lowe's, he helped us compare our other options.  We ended up with a high-grade granite remnant from Top Master (one of David's contacts).  We didn't spend much over what the Onyx would have cost, and we're very happy with the look of the granite. 
We felt comfortable with David, his son Ben and Ben's assistant being in our home.  They were always on time, kept the work area neat and were nice to our dog Ava (she's a noisemaker!).  They kept us informed on the status of the project at the end of the day and what to expect next.  They were considerate of our crazy schedules and flexible with their hours. 
It's wonderful to have our master bathroom back, and now that we have a great contractor, we're ready to tackle a few more projects on the "repair" list.  We've already asked David to come back!

"I had a great experience with Dry Basement. The estimator Curtis was extremely knowledgeable, clean cut, friendly, and straight forward. He arrived right on time and got to work. He reviewed my situation with laser measuring equipment and had a written estimate for me on the spot. We agreed on a price for the work and scheduled my repair for their next available slot, three weeks later, on December 11, 2014. I received a call from their office staff two days before the scheduled work, to remind me of my appointment and their estimated arrival time. The crew of four guys showed up right on time and got straight to work. The foreman, Alvin, was great and worked just as hard as every other guy on the crew, and these were about the hardest working guys I've ever seen in my life. Everyone was super friendly (my Labrador retriever vetted each of them and approved). It was a wet, sloppy day outside, and they put plastic down on my carpeted floors and stairs to keep things tidy. They installed 10 u-channel braces in the basement to shore up my slightly bowing foundation (just under 2" of inward bowing), and secured it to 8 yards of concrete - that's 32,000 pounds worth - in the yard. The cracks inside were sealed with polyurethane. They finished the job in one day, as promised, and cleaned everything up when they were done. In fact my basement was cleaner when they left than when they showed up. I would definitely hire these guys again, though I don't plan on having to, since from the looks of things this house isn't going anywhere. HIGHLY recommended."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’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.

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.

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.
