"Jerry is such a nice guy. Easy to talk to and very professional. When he opened his work trailer I knew I had the right guy for the job. Everything in order - tools, saws, nails, screws, etc. all neat and clean. Jerry works the same way. The railing and steps came out really really nice. I would hire Jerry again in a heartbeat."

We tackle whatever construction project you are looking to have taken care of.

"BEWARE! We hired this company for an addition and they took almost 2 years before we were forced to settle the contract to get them off our property. What they deemed finished work was terrible. We were forced to hire new plumbers, electrician and finish carpenters to fix and redo the absolute disaster they created. This cost an additional 10s of thousands of dollars more on top of the $283,000+ we paid them. I wouldn’t hire them to change a lightbulb!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

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.

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.
