Q: What are the disadvantages of a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you&rsquo;re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement. </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to put a bathroom in a basement?

• <div><p>Installing a bathroom in a basement isn&rsquo;t a project for most homeowners. Many parts&mdash;plumbing, electricity, and carpentry&mdash;go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. </p></div>

Q: Why do some old houses have a toilet in the basement?

• <div><p>Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.</p><p>Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.</p></div>

Q: Will adding a walkout basement increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that&rsquo;s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren&rsquo;t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood should I use for framing a basement?

• <div><p>You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.</p></div>

"We had some initial communication issues but they worked itself out. The area was a small space that turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected such as the sink be installed poorly by a previous contracter but Chris was very professional and did a wonderful job. He fixed the sink so it was installed properly. He pays great attention to detail and does the job right. I also used them to re-do my flat roof in the late Spring. They got the job done right away and for a reasonable a good price.
