204 First of all, I'm pretty handy with things around the house but this plumbing issue is my limit. Mr Ron Janeski has 30 years of experience in plumbing. He contacted me prior to anybody else that was tagged through the contracting system. We set up the appointment to fit my schedule (two days...
Don't do it. The worst contractor experience I have had in 30 some years . The the father and son team--along with children showed up. There is still a leak in the same places that were supposed to be repaired. In addition, they damaged the ceiling drywall--one of the workers stepped on and...
John Day Roofing and WaterproofingImmediately after purchasing our home, Nelson and his team came out to remediate the mold in our basement that was identified during our home inspection.

Searched but could not find the leak.
Prime PlumbingI just recently moved into a home a few months ago. There is evidence of water damage along the basement walls and there is a heavy damp/musty/wet smell as you go into the basement. I can't remember the name of the guy that came out (Sorry!), but he came earlier than scheduled. We went right...

Wrangler Home Improvements LLCAfter 8 years of various water issues in my basement (including water in basement after rain) I interviewed 5 different companies about waterproofing the basement. There were many solutions offered but I felt the solution/price offered by this company made the most sense (after my own...
Basement Innovations WaterproofingI contacted All Aspects Waterproofing to give an estimate for leaking in my basement. I described my problem and the service manager said right away that what I was describing (ground-level leaking) was not a problem the company provided service for. She suggested a couple alternative...
All Aspects WaterproofingI had water in one corner of my basement after decent rains over a period of about 8 months. I got one estimate right away when i noticed the leak and was taken back by the "sales pitch" and pressure and of course the cost of the repair. I decided to wait since I didn't know if it was a fluke...

"We had our master and hall baths completely gutted and rebuilt. We bid the project out to several companies, and DMV was immediately the most helpful. Pricing was very competitive. Luis and the team completed both bathrooms in about 6 weeks - and this was a full demo. The crew was extremely kind and courteous, and worked hard to minimize the mess and impact to our home. One weekend we had a party, and they helped make our home look like there wasn’t a major project in-progress! Craftsmanship was impeccable. The tile work in particular is beautiful - details I hadn’t even thought of were done for me. Like any job, we had some changes to scope (our choice), and some minor hiccups. They were extremely helpful navigating through scope changes, and more than fair on pricing. And on the minor hiccups, they made it extra clear that the job wouldn’t be wrapped until we were satisfied - and that’s what happened. Honestly this experience was a 10 out of 10, and I hope we can have them out for another project soon. Our bathrooms went from blight to bling in 6 weeks - I look forward to getting ready now!"

"Extremely disappointed with this company. They do not stand by their guarantees. Did install shower in one day. Was not provided with the shower head I ordered. Calking and trim work was very sloppy. Went through the shower wall into my bedroom, did sparkle wall and left it. Shower doors have leaked and was finally told six months later that there is nothing they can do to correct the issue. Originally quoted $24,000.00 for the walk on shower, eventually agreed to $11,500.00. Completely dissatisfied with my shower. Once they get their payment, they are done."

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
A basement remodel can often cost as much as adding another room. However, homeowners should consider the usefulness and ROI of a remodel.
