"I owned a small chalet style family cabin with one loft bedroom, no running water and an outhouse. I met with Lance Christenson, president of Woods and Waters Builders and Remodeling, presenting him with a rough sketch of my idea to add on to my exsisting cabin. My addition was over twice the size of the exsisting cabin including a new kitchen, great room with lots of windows overlooking the lake, bedroom and bathroom while keeping half the the exsisting cabin in tack and expanding the upper loft bedroom. Mr. Christenson took my sketch and pleasently improved the plans with his vast experience in style and contruction. He was able to use my stained glass in the design and to my surprise his wife refinished my antique stained glass front door. My excitement mounted as I saw the vision for my new cabin become a reality, with a beautiful designed stairway and railing to the loft with a stained glass insert. I could not be more pleased and excited about my new cabin. My sincere thanks to Lance Christenson and his very professional crew for your quality workmanship.. My expectations were beyond what I could have ever imagined."

Celebrating 30 years of service, our family has specialized in structural foundation repair and basement waterproofing. We have built a long-standing tradition of excellent work and a commitment to total customer satisfaction. Contact us today and let's put your problems behind you once and for all. Basement Waterproofing: We custom design the SafeBasements Waterproofing System to meet your specific needs. Once the system is installed, it takes care of itself, backed by our Lifetime Guarantee. All you need to do is make an occasional check to make sure the sump pump is operational, after all, it is a small appliance, Bowed Basement Wall Repair: We stabilize and in time straighten basement walls that have bowed and cracked due to poor grading and expansive soils. We address this problem using the state-of-the-art SafeBase Wall Anchoring System, SafeBase Waler System, or the SafeBase Carbon Fiber System. Settling Foundation Repair: To address the problem of foundations that have settled vertically or rotated outwardly, we use the SafeBase Foundation Piering System. This system utilizes proven engineering methods to secure and stabilize settling foundations by attaching SafeBase Brackets to the footing and hydraulically driving steel columns deep into the ground until they hit bedrock or equal load-bearing strata.

"I researched basement waterproofing solutions and was considering doing it myself. Then I found Safe Basements and read the literature about their product/process. To me, it seemed better than other similar products. I was surprised that they cover my place -- 2 hours into Wisconsin, or 3 hours from Litchfield. Brad came out to inspect the problems in my basement -- horizontal cracking, bowing, and water intrusion. He was able to explain the causes of those problems as well as others that I hadn't noticed. We agreed to pay for anchors to stabilize one wall that was bowing, and install drain tile and a sump pump. I'll be honest, I didn't shop around. I have no idea what other companies are charging for the same services. I normally get 3 or 4 bids or other opinions. I felt comfortable with the amount of research that I'd done, the knowledge Brad seemed to have, and the information about the products that I decided to hire Safe Basements without talking to other companies. I don't regret that decision. The wall anchor/stabilization crew called me before leaving Litchfield. Their ETA was pretty close to the actual time of arrival. When they arrived, we discussed the work being done. They did the work. They cleaned up. They gave me information about the anchor system and what I needed to do to correct the bowing and cracks. Everything was done as expected. The drain tile/sump crew was stuck at a previous job. They called me the day before (Tuesday) my job was expected to start to let me know there would be a delay starting my job. He then called in the middle of the start day (Wednesday) to let me know, they wouldn't be to my house until the next day. I was expecting a call between 7 and 8 on Thursday to let me know they were leaving Litchfield. Instead, I got a call at about 7:15 to let me know they were 15 minutes from my house. When they arrived, we talked about the work to be done, they cocooned my stuff in plastic, and they went to work. I think they worked until about 7 that day. They returned on Friday at about 8:30, having stopped to dump my concrete and dirt and to pick up gravel and concrete. They worked until about 10:30pm on Friday. I appreciated that they finished on Friday even though it was later than I expected. They cleaned up everything thoroughly, and walked me through the details of the sump pump and battery backup systems. Even though they'd driven a long distance, worked two very long days, and it was very late Friday, I didn't feel they rushed through. The job was complete. I think they would have stayed later if I'd had anymore questions. Unfortunately, one of the workers left his very nice tape measure, and I have not been able to get it back to him."

House Leveling questions, answered by experts

Yes, staging a home really works and can help your home sell faster, potentially for a higher price than if you did not use a home staging service. According to the National Association of Realtors, 48% of seller’s agents reported home staging decreased a home’s time on the market. 

Plus, 20% of buyer’s and seller’s agents claimed home staging increased home sale prices by 1% to 5%. Although decluttering and cleaning help a home sell, staging can take your home’s curb appeal to the next level, helping to expedite the process and increase your profit.

Most staging projects take 2-5 days, including furniture arrangement, décor placement, and touch-ups.

You'll likely need more than great home staging to sell your home. Now is a great time to get to work on the curb appeal of your home . Hire local exterior painters and landscapers to coat the exterior of your home and bring it new life with some sprucing up.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

Redfin reported in 2021 that homes with fireplaces were listed on the market for around 13% more than the national median sale price, but this doesn’t mean that they actually sold for that much. While homebuyer demand reigns supreme, the actual ROI on a fireplace depends on various factors, including size, type, and material.
