"Very high quality work. The concrete trail is wide enough and level enough to easily ride on and harvest my fruit trees. I have received numerous compliments about the quality of the cocrete handicapped ramp in front of the house. His workers cleaned up after themselves, trimmed my trees, and made my yard look pretty. Ramon is a very easy guy to work with and takes extra time to figure out what would work for you, like putting up wooden railings that don't get too hot instead of metal. He is also very creative in coming up with solutions to unusual problems. They do great indoor work and remodeling too. Do - be explicit about your needs, what you want, and special requests. Also make sure you are clear about when you need it done by. Ask for a written estimate and discuss how the finalbill may be somewhat different so there are no unhappy surprises."
"Mariano did an excellent job on my bathroom. He got the job done quickly and was great to communicate with. I will definitely hire him again. Thank you Mariano."
"I'm very pleased and happy with them. I couldn't have picked a better team. They were very professional and eager to please me. They were very pleasant and good people to work with."
"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!
"Very friendly, good spirited man. Did a marvelous job with putting up moister barrier, cement boards and tiles. Very respectful towards house an customer.Very satisfied with the work Joey and his partner performed!!"
Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.
Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes.
It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.
