"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

"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!

"Not too good ! The workers were good . The owner Matt promised that the work would be completed in 2 weeks still not done as of today 01/13/2024 ,it has been one excuse after another on 11/22/24 needed to install the new shutters, he promised and gave his word and a hand shake , so we paid in full on 11/22/24 , cause we were going out of town for a bit , thought I was doing good but it has hit me hard , still not done as of today 1/13/24 . Numerous lies , he said we will get them this week , and was told on 4 ( Tex messages)different occasions that the shutters were either delivered or had picked them up . Also the main reason we went with a metal roof we had a roof leak and wanted it stopped it was on our back porch in the center of the back door , it leaks worse now than ever before , was also promised that it would be fixed (not fixed ).1 light fixture not fixed .asked for 6” gutters got 5” I am ok with the 5”gutters, and only got 6 down spouts asked and paid for 8 down spouts (have 8 points or the house , need 1 down spout per point .the siding looks good except the light fixture and outside water spicket should have new mounting blocks, they have the old ones still that do not match . ( 1 is broken 2 don’t have one ).2 places on the front porch needs to be fixed where it all should be wrapped in black metal it look bad. I don’t like being lied too and taken advantage of , all I wanted was to get this work done and not cut corners, for the money I paid it should have been done more professionally."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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. 

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

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
