Get matched with top basement remodelers in Monroe, NC

"First and foremost, it was important that the project was to be finished by a certain date; The builder met the deadline.
He and his crew were respectful, professional and detail oriented. the project required specified architectural details not often seen in new housing. One challenge was the matching of the exterior with the original structure, a challenge they met superbly. The builder also found solutions for unusual structural challenges such as a hidden steel support beam and an unusual roof structure."

"Fred Katz, the owner of JFK Construction responded promptly to my request for a proposal.  He took the time to listen to our plans for the project and added several suggestions to improve the design and facilitate the construction process. His price was slightly higher than the other two proposals we received but we selected JFK based on several factors.  These included 1) his estimated time for completion to be 2-3 weeks, 2) the fact that the project would be permitted and inspected, and also, 3) that JFK had previously performed reasonably well in the remodeling of our kitchen.
Once, we signed the contract Fred and his employees were on site within a few days to begin the work and he and his men repaired the exterior siding and removed and replaced the deck within a couple of weeks as planned.  This repair work and the new deck look great and we are very pleased with the outcome in this area. The problems began with the introduction of his sub contractors who were responsible for the electrical, plumbing, gas and masonry work.  It is understandable that contractors are simultaneously working on several projects and our project can not always be their top priority.  However, the repeated delays we have experienced indicate that either the subs have too many project in-process or our project is so small that it slips off their radar and goes unnoticed.
We signed the contract with JFK on October 5, 2013 and as of today November 9, 2013 the project is still not complete.  The subs responsible for the gas and masonry haven't completed their work.  In fact this past week of Nov. 4 through Nov. 8 no one from either JFK or any of his subs were onsite working on our project.  When asked about the project yesterday Fred expressed frustration that his subs were not able to complete our project but could not commit to a specific date when they would return to finish the job.
The project was completed on Dec. 20, 2013 and we are very pleased with the final outcome.  Weather was one factor in some of the delays.

"Kell did a great job! He was on time and worked efficiently to get the job done. He cleaned up after the work was completed and even went above and beyond by taking care of the mess the leaking sink had left on the cabinet floor. I will be calling on Cransten handyman and remodeling for my future needs."

"Miguel and his team did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them for tiling or any other remodeling jobs. They finished my basement and it looks fantastic!"

"David did a wonderful job at our home. He painted two rooms and finished a ceiling. He also did several handyman jobs for us: sealed windows and doors, weather stripping, carpentry, fixed/sanded/stained our front door, cleaned out the dryer vent, repaired our deck, etc. He did a great job with everything. The painting was flawless. David was very responsive, honest, great to work with, and punctual. He charged a reasonable price for his services and took pride in his work. I would definitely hire him again and have recommended him to friends and family."

"Where to even begin? Blake and Mark are the real deal. They know their craft, are honest, reliable, and great to work with. They take the time to learn what your “vision” is and the work with you to create it. Communication is on point….no surprises. This is the second project I hired them for, which pretty much says it all. If you’re lucky enough to land them as your contractors, you won’t be disappointed."

"Great quality work, done in a timely manner and professionally at a reasonable price."

"The sales rep was very personable and seemed to have knowledge of drainage problems and solutions. The workers arrived on schedule and worked very hard to accomplish the task at hand. They routed the drainage to an open ditch parallel to the property. They also rerouted drainage for an existing, inefficient french drain and sump that was pumping water across the driveway that was washing the soil out from under the concrete and creating an unsightly stain. To this point, we felt that all was going well. The problem that arose was that the French drain they installed was still higher than the foundation of the house. They filled in the trench with gravel to facilitate drainage, but covered the gravel with the soil they removed, which is mostly clay. Consequently, the water still runs off across the top of the French drain and overwhelms the foundation. Moisture in the crawl space has not been significantly reduced. I talked to the rep about redoing the crawl space which had mold forming on the floor joists. He gave me a quote that included sealing all the vents, cleaning the mold, adjusting pitch of the interior perimeter French drain, relocating the crawl sump and pump to a better collection point, putting down new vapor barrier and installing a crawl space dehumidifier, ($1,500.00) at a total cost of $4,290.00. If we wanted mold remediation treatment in addition to just cleaning the mold, the cost was an additional $1,950.00. The rep also agreed to send a team back out to remove the top layer of soil from the French drain and fill the trench with gravel, build up the soil at the foundation, making the new French drain at a level lower than the foundation to contain the water, at no additional charge. Subsequent to all that, we discovered some major structural damage that was going to be costly. Alignment of priorities and available finances dictated that the crawl space would have to be put on hold, at least temporarily. I sent an email to the Moisture Loc rep explaining our dilemma, but reiterated that I still expected him to live up to his promise to fix the French drain deficiencies, for which I already paid handsomely. In spite of email, text messages and voice mail to the rep, I have never received the courtesy of a response. I can only conclude that since we had to suspend the crawl space work, there is no intention to make the necessary changes/repairs to the original work as promised.
