What is the hardest part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for flooded basement cleanup or repairs?

• <div><p>Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.</p></div>

Q: Can you turn a regular basement into a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/basement-foundation.htm">basement foundation</a>, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.</p></div>

Q: What adds the most value in a renovation?

• <div><p>Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. </p></div>

Of all the trades professionals that have been a part of my 110 year old house remodel, Tim @ Ben Franklin Plumbing is one of the most professional, thorough, and patient people I’ve ever encountered. He always over communicates and goes the extra step to make sure that I’m getting best deal.

It was excellent. A fairly large hole had to be opened up in the drywall to dry out the area behind the drywall. A defective sprinkler system had shot water through a window well window frame into the basement. Shelby repaired the hole so well that you cannot tell that it was ever there. His...

Did an excellent job. I have hired a lot of contract people in the past with remodeling our house, adding screened in porch, and covered deck, and these guys did an excellent job. But more importantly they followed their schedule to a tee.
