"Hired them for 3 projects I have installed this basement waterproofing solution in 2 homes. System speaks for itself. Nothing better on the market. Work was first rate. Expectations were presented prior to the project. Details on what would happen and how the project would go. Would not hesitate to use again ERV installed New basement egress. This project did not go as planned, but not at the fault of basement systems. Was originally supposed to get a BILCO door but due to unforseen issues, that was not able to happen. They ended up installing a new staircase from my basement to ground level. Work was first rate and ended up better than a bilco door. Company re landscaped and everything is as it was. All work performed was top notch and no issues on anything they have done"

"I reached out to this company for a sump pump upgrade and a cracked wall repair. The technician who did my install was very polite and informative. We've had several big storms since my installation was done and I'm happy to say my basement has remained totally dry. I'm very glad I chose this company, I would recommend them to anyone in need of help with their basement!"

"New Line Remodeling did an excellent job taking down an existing wall and adding a wet island where the wall was. Carlos and team did a great job relocating wires, pipes, vents and updating flooring. I highly recommend them for any contracting work needed."

"From the time of our first conversation to our consultation and throughout our entire project Demetrius was there every step of the way. We had a vision of what we wanted for our patio and deck, Demetrius made sound suggestions and the project was implemented. Project completion time was estimated to be 2 weeks, weather permitting. Demetrius and his team completed the job with efficiency and kept us totally informed as to what phase his team would be working on each day. We are so in awe of our new outdoor space and will definitely be utilizing our outdoor space more often. We are so pleased with our new backyard. What a big difference this has made! Thank you for an extremely pleasant experience! We would definitely recommend Simmons Handyman Service for your remodeling needs and certainly will be using them again when we are considering another project."

AES Homebuilders worked nothing short of a miracle in my home!  I hired them to remodel my basement.  They took a dark, dusty, dated space and transformed it into a contemporary, comfortable and light filled apartment.  This was a total remodel that included a tear out, an electrical heavy up, new plumbing, leveling floors, water proofing and tying in a new bathroom to existing plumbing.   The space features a bathroom, kitchenette, sitting area, two large closets, a stackable washer and dryer unit, and a bedroom. 

They converted the garage into the bedroom, cutting through a cinder block wall to install a new window, pouring concrete to level the floor, and creating a new entry/foyer area where the garage door was formerly located.  They also redid the railing on my upstairs porch and designed a beautiful façade for the new entryway with window, door, sidelight and siding.   The design ties in nicely with my Georgian style brick home  My house was constructed in 1947, which means there is not a square wall or level floor in the space due to natural settlement.  When you walk into the apartment, you get the feeling you are in new brand new construction. 

My installer Steve and his assistant Kim were a highlight of my day.  I could set my watch by their arrival time.  They were consistently there at 7:30, despite their commute from Baltimore to my home which is just outside of DC.  They were on the job every day until the work was completed.   They consulted with me on important decisions and when they needed to make a judgment call in my absence, it was always right on the money.  I had a very good idea what I wanted, as I had ruminated over this space for years.  Their experience and keen eye led to recommendations that I had not considered and that significantly improved the flow/design of the space.   They were very pleasant, polite and professional.  I felt very comfortable with them in my home. 

AES made very good recommendations regarding companies to work with to purchase my cabinets, granite, flooring, tiles etc.  All materials were of high quality and the costs were very good because they extend their contractor discount to me.   I purchased some materials on my own as well with the help and guidance of my installer. 

My experience from the beginning of my interaction with AES to the final sign off was AMAZING.  Bill my sales person and Scott the architect were very patient with me as we worked through the details, project scoping and costs.  They did not rush me in my decision making process, answered all of my questions and were quite entertaining even after hours of discussion.  These guys have worked together for a long time and it?s obvious because they are on the same page which made my experience that much easier.   Tim Munson, the owner of the company was very accessible which was impressive.   Everyone on the staff, from the women in the front office, to the sales team to the builders were a joy to work with.   This is a testament to the company and its leadership.

This project was a huge undertaking.  I was confident but nervous at the outset.  Everyone at AES put my mind at ease, and they delivered in a huge way.  I Am So Grateful to have found this company.   Throughout the project my friends would ask me how things were going and my reply was always, ?I love my contractors?!  My friends would say, Wow.  I?ve never heard anyone say THAT before.  I have several other projects that I plan to complete in preparation for my retirement and I will definitely be calling on AES!  I hope they will work with me again, especially now that they are familiar with all the quirks of my aging home.   This was not a straightforward project for even this company, by any means.

The only ?negative? experience I had working with AES, if I can call it that, was that my project was delayed in starting.  As with all contracting, start and end dates are tough to call.  As a project manager by profession, I totally get that.  My original start date was off by about 8 weeks, which was giving me a little angst by week 4.    I have to say, in spite of this, AES was ABSOLUTLEY WORTH THE WAIT!   I will wait for them again for my next endeavor if necessary.   Good contractors are hard to find.  Finding a great contractor is nothing short of a blessing.  My hat?s off to AES.

My next project will be installing a laundry room, expanding my powder room and installing new floors and granite in my kitchen.  I look forward to doing business with them again.

"Glorem has done fantastic job in my basement. The basement was totally unfinished of around 1000sqft. I had around 11 estimates for the job. I had a wide range of prices. They were not the cheapest but they offered the most detailed plan and price list of everything in the project. Their price was also very reasonable. Eugen and his team are extremely organized, honest and dedicated to quality work. Eugen was on top of very details in the project was present during all inspections. I really appreciate the hard work. I had a kitchenette bathroom and living area in my basement."

"DVR was the best remodel work I have ever had. Did my upstairs, main floor and basement. The work was detailed and precise. Including new fireplace. Outside work included my pier, decks, stairs and paving work. They stand behind all their work as they responded quickly to any concerns I had. Price was by far the best I found. Lastly, they are good people too. That is what I liked the best."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

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.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

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.

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.
