"I have done 2 remodeling projects with Bill Barbor Homes. At no point during bathroom/tub x2 remodels, as well as multiple exterior deck and siding repars did I feel any worry. I also experienced very reasonable pricing. I would definitely use them again. I would also choose a custom home built by them after experiencing the knowledge base they have in construction. I am from a family in construction . Love them!"

I have been in remodeling and construction since my brother and I built our first clubhouse at the age of 10. During my college years at Appalachian State University, I paid my way through university building garages and garage apartments for customers. As I started my 23 year long career in the financial service industry, I also built homes, owned a real estate firm, vacation rentals and long term rentals. In 2016, I met the love of my life Beth Carson who is the queen of the Vacation Rental industry and we began speaking at industry conferences, owning vacation rentals and managing. We found that we could rehab homes, add vacation elements and resell as a business for much more than just a standard flip. I have two guys who do everything with me on remodels and one is my son in law who has been a chef, tennis pro and now manages a life insurance practice. The other is a life long friend who has a Masters in Psychology from UNCC, has been the CEO of several YMCAs and enjoys the physical challenges of trying to keep up with me :) We are 100% transparent and treat people the way we want to be treated. You will get a detail bid so you can choose what part you want to do and what you may want to wait on. We also provide updated videos or walk throughs so you can see and monitor our progress. Let us help make your next project a joy and not a stressful situation.

"David was efficient and very reliable. I hired David and managed the remodel from out of state, for my aunt's home. David took care of all of the details and created a finished product that took her home up a notch. David was accountable, very good in communication, and on top of all of the details. The work he did on the home, helped me tremendously as it led to a quick sale and satisfied new owners."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. 

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

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.
