"We are so happy we hired Alvin for our home remodel! We were very anxious going into it because we've never had remodeling work done before. Alvin, however, was trustworthy, kind, and communicative. He did a lot of the work himself, but he also brought in a team of specialists, including someone really skilled at tile work for our bathroom and fireplace tiles. He was patient with my questions and indecisiveness, particularly as it was hard for me to choose a countertop. He also double checked to make sure I liked how things were turning out before he finished each part of the remodel. We had the bathroom floors re-tiled, both bathroom vanity counters replaced, one bathroom's tub surround re-tiled, and exhaust fans installed in both bathrooms. In the kitchen he installed new countertops, new tiles for the backsplash, and a new range hood that he ducted to the outdoors. We also had new tiling installed on our fireplace. Finally, he redid our front deck, which was rotting and unsafe. We're very happy with all the work he did, and we would definitely hire him again! Perhaps most importantly, Alvin loves cats! He was careful not to let my indoor cats outside, and he took time to greet them each time he came to do work. My oldest cat loves him and runs over to welcome him as soon as he comes in the door."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.

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.

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.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.
