"This was an outstanding experience from my perspective.  The estimate process went smoothly, and David was very upfront about how he/his company does business.  The final price came in according to the estimate, and I appreciate that he gave me real estimate numbers, versus lower numbers that would inflate through the course of the project.
David, Ric, Ben and Cole did a great job throughout the project.  I felt comfortable with them in my house, whether I was in the house or not.  The initial demo of the guest bath began Oct 26, 2012.  All the major work for both the guest bath and main bath was completed by Dec 16, 2012.  Final touch-ups were completed on Dec 26, 2012.
David was extremely responsive via phone/email during the project (where I was away much of the time).  I had several questions along the way and he was always polite in answering them.  I also have an attention to detail that can be annoying to others, and again, David, Ric, Ben and Cole were polite/responsive when I asked questions or pointed out minor concerns.
I have a smaller home with a single-car driveway, and Ethos worked around that by hauling away demo trash/debris every night.  They set up their workshop in the garage.  Also, they cleaned up the worksites every day (except near the end of the project, when I suggested that they didn't need to in order to save time).
There were a couple of days where I didn't see progress, but after a quick phone call to David, he would be able to explain all the "behind the scenes" work that had occurred, and it made sense to me.  The guys worked both Saturday and Sunday (Dec 15 and Dec 16) in order for me to be ready for guests on Christmas.
Hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn't schedule a remodel this close to the holidays again.  It was stressful having the house in disarray, trying to prepare for Christmas/wrap presents/bake, clean, etc. etc. with remodeling going on.  However, David said they would complete the work in 3 weeks, and by working through the last weekend, they did complete the work in that timeframe.
I highly recommend Ethos and will work with them again.  They were honest, cared about the work they performed, communicated well, and treated me (and all my questions) with courtesy and respect.  Plus they have great senses of humor (a must, in my world).
Also, I think that the project facts speak for themselves - 2 bathroom remodels in 3 weeks on budget.  What more could a client ask for?

"I had a great experience with Dry Basement. The estimator Curtis was extremely knowledgeable, clean cut, friendly, and straight forward. He arrived right on time and got to work. He reviewed my situation with laser measuring equipment and had a written estimate for me on the spot. We agreed on a price for the work and scheduled my repair for their next available slot, three weeks later, on December 11, 2014. I received a call from their office staff two days before the scheduled work, to remind me of my appointment and their estimated arrival time. The crew of four guys showed up right on time and got straight to work. The foreman, Alvin, was great and worked just as hard as every other guy on the crew, and these were about the hardest working guys I've ever seen in my life. Everyone was super friendly (my Labrador retriever vetted each of them and approved). It was a wet, sloppy day outside, and they put plastic down on my carpeted floors and stairs to keep things tidy. They installed 10 u-channel braces in the basement to shore up my slightly bowing foundation (just under 2" of inward bowing), and secured it to 8 yards of concrete - that's 32,000 pounds worth - in the yard. The cracks inside were sealed with polyurethane. They finished the job in one day, as promised, and cleaned everything up when they were done. In fact my basement was cleaner when they left than when they showed up. I would definitely hire these guys again, though I don't plan on having to, since from the looks of things this house isn't going anywhere. HIGHLY recommended."

"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!

"Hammer and nail replaced our front porch . It was done in no time . Fastest worker I have seen. Done with precision and even worked around plants, shrubs and flowers I wanted to save. I also hired them for a bathroom tiling project. It was finished quickly and looks beautiful. I also hired them for other miscellaneous projects. They are helpful, professional and take pride in their work. I highly recommend them."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

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.

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. 

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
