"The inspector contacted me prior to my appointment to get some preliminary information in preparation for our meeting. He arrived on time. We spent some time discussing my concerns about possible settling of my home's foundation and then walked through the basement and exterior. He performed a detailed inspection of the home externally and internally, taking numerous measurements. He showed me the measurements and explained his findings. It turned out, there was no serious settling or shifting of the foundation. Ultimately, his recommendation was to take no action. I appreciate his thoroughness and honesty."

"BUYER BEWARE! You will have to PM your own project. Ask for a change order for everything you request. If I could go back in time I would have paid more for the piece of mind. A 6 month remodel took exactly 1 year to complete. Punchlist items took 7 months to complete. Magno broke his own contract by not getting a building permit for the remodel. He filed the plans but never paid the $ to get them until I demanded the permit. I received one at the end of the punchlist so 1 year later. I had to spend time calling City of Lex. He has $ issues with vendors. We witnessed 2 vendors pulling out during our remodel for non payment. If I could go back in time I would not have tried to choose a minority run business and just stuck with the best price and reviews. He had no reviews when I started looking for a contractor. His attention to detail is non existence. See pics for reference. The pic of the smoke detector. His was too lazy to remove the one w/electrical so he just placed the other one beside it. He admits he has no attention to detail. I have had the grout lines fixed in bathroom pics from another contractor. Pay more with someone else. It will be worth it."

"Chris and crew did a demo and rebuild of our deck. Everything started out great. The team moved quickly and efficiently. Several of the employees had to be let go for showing up to work under the influence. I'm almost a weekly basis I was asked for an advance so they could meet payroll. The crew would inevitably show up late almost every day and would rarely put in an 8-hour day. Boards were warping and cracking. The stain was put down way too early and will now need to be sanded to the bare wood and replied according to the manufacturer. The electrical work that they had started was not up to code. I have had to hire an outside electrician to clean up that mess. I don't have a lot of complaints about the actual deck itself, it's very solid and sturdy. The project was left unfinished after over 100 days on the job. One employee who showed up under the influence is still working there. Lack of time management and money management was a huge concern. If you hire this company do not give any money after your deposit until the job is complete and have a solid exit date on the contract. I paid 93% of the overall price and nowhere near got 93% of the work. Personally, I would advise you to save yourself the headache and not hire this company."

"Took the money up front (yes, I know dumb idea). My 72 yo disabled veteran hired Will Evans to do repairs. Will took the money and never finished plus what he did we had to hire someone else who had to tear out everything and redo it bc what Will did was so terrible nothing could be salvaged. We have pictures of proof plus we took him to small claims court, he never showed, and we won judgement against him for the entire amount plus part of what we paid to remove his incompetence. If you have any information on where he is we would appreciate the information. We have not been able to collect a dime on this deadbeat!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

It costs an average of $32,000 to finish a basement, and most projects total between $15,000 and $75,000. If you just want to make the space look a bit nicer and don’t need to convert the basement to legal living space, you could spend as little as $3,000 to install drywall and flooring. On the other end of the spectrum, your costs could rise to $100,000 if you want to make structural changes to the space, repair existing structural damage, waterproof your basement, or install a kitchen and bathroom along with living space.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
