"This was the 4th or 5th project that we have done with Monk’s and as always we were very pleased with the outcome. Our Project Manger Ward, was very professional and attentive, making sure every last detail was addressed. The painting team, led by Gustavo, was extremely professional and courteous.

"This is an overdue review. I hired Bernie and his team for a kitchen remodel in June 2021, after he did an excellent job with my three bathrooms in 2020. The kitchen remodel was also excellent. His works are efficient, hardworking and clean. My remodel took two weeks, as he had quoted and for the exact price he had quoted. I would hire him and his team again and I referred them to a coworker for her bathroom project. She was also very pleased with their work."

Your happiness is my #1 priority. Small local construction company started January 2017. I have over 20 yrs of experience in anything to do with homes. I am a firm believer that no job is to small because it is about building relationships. If you need a faucet replaced, drain clogged, toilet replaced, bathroom, kitchen or basement renovations, we are here to help with whatever you need. References upon request.

"We hired Adrian and his team for a much-needed facelift of our front porch, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire process, from start to finish, demonstrated a truly meticulous approach to their craft across both projects. Adrian's team skillfully handled every aspect of the porch renovation. They successfully reserviced the floor, installed beautiful new molding, and applied fresh paint all around, which has completely transformed the curb appeal of our home. The quality of the finish on all elements is impeccable and clearly shows their high standards. In addition to the porch, Adrian also installed new windows in our basement area. This was a critical job that involved removing old rotted wood, carefully weather sealing the entire opening, and installing the necessary exterior capping. This detailed work ensures the windows are perfectly watertight, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing from the exterior. What truly set Adrian and his team apart was their incredible professionalism and attention to the small details. Each day, they ensured the entire work area was left absolutely spotless, showing immense respect for our property and minimizing any disruption. We highly recommend Adrian for any home improvement project. Their dedication to quality, cleanliness, and exceptional results is outstanding."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

While bathrooms and kitchens are nearly equal in terms of renovation difficulty, kitchens are the most challenging. Kitchen design, layout, electrical, and plumbing needs all depend on each other for the success of the entire project, and mistakes early in the project can cause trouble later on.

Yes, you’ll use a macerator pump to install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete. The purpose of breaking into concrete is to connect the drain pipes to the main sewer line. But a macerator pump will bypass this step and break up solids until they are soft enough to pass through a discharge pipe. That pipe will carry the waste to the sewage line.

Finishing your basement adds value to your home, providing an average return on investment (ROI) of around 75%. That means the typical basement refinishing costs of $32,000 will add an average of $24,000 to the value of your property. The value added to your home will depend on the price you pay to have the work completed, the area you live in, the quality of the work and building materials, and more.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
