"Carl did an absolutely incredible job installing crown molding in our home. From the very beginning, I trusted him to conceptually design something that would complement our vaulted ceilings and overall aesthetic. He completely knocked it out of the park and exceeded expectations. His craftsmanship is meticulous, and the finished result truly transformed the space. What stood out just as much as his skill was his professionalism. He was always available to talk through ideas, answer questions, and make sure we felt confident in every decision. He also completed the job faster than originally estimated. We couldn’t be happier and are already looking forward to having him back for our next home renovation project. Highly recommend!"

"They did a good job especially considering how brittle my old siding had become over the years. I’m pleased with their work and the price was right. I plan to hire them to do a couple more small jobs that I’m to old to do myself."

"You owe it to yourself to bring Ryan in to take a look at your project. Pulling from a wealth of experience, and practical problem-solving skills - Ryan will deliver a project that exceeds your expectations. Better yet, you can be supremely confident that the work is done to the absolute highest standard. My wife and I brought Ryan in for build in bookshelves around a fireplace. Of course, the project expanded into a few areas of the home to include a small side porch, new exterior door, and additional shelving. Most importantly, Ryan did not hesitate to provide input to our vision for the shelves. The result was a much better product than we could have hoped for. Ryan is more than someone you bring into your home to do a job; he becomes your partner and is as excited as you are to bring beautiful projects to life."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable.
