"Rob is a joy to have here.  My husband and I agree that his time in our home feels as comfortable as a social visit, with the added benefit of his getting so much done, quickly and expertly.   His perfectionism shows in the excellence of his work, but at the same time his easygoing manner puts everyone at ease.  He often checks with us on job details as he works, to ensure that all is as we would like it to be, and explain our options.  He often suggests creative solutions to awkward problems and his experience makes him a true craftsman (in many different disciplines).
If I were forced to name one aspect of his relationship with his customers that I wish I could change, it would have to be that his schedule is very busy, and he is so much in demand that occasionally he cannot immediately schedule a job.  However, he makes every effort (often including working weekends if necessary) to fit projects in as soon as possible, and is very good at keeping in touch.  He is NEVER is a no-show.
We expect to have a long-term relationship with Rob, as we have many other projects in mind, including building a covered front porch, a brand new bath, and a complete basement remodel.

"Jeorge is easy to work with. He is a straight shooter and keeps you informed. He even shored up some gutters as he was replacing the soffits. The work went smoothly in spite of several periods of rain. The quality of the work is very good. He and his helper worked quietly - no music or cursing. I would definitely consider him for any other construction related work."

"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!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.
