"Jerry and his team did a fabulous job on our basement egress window. Fantastic communication, before during and after the job. Excellent workmanship. Cleaned up very well after the big job. Flexibly worked with our schedule. Jerry even gave me advice on laying out our basement remodel (we are doing it ourselves) and gave me advice on materials and design. Totally happy. Would recommend C&J without reservation!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We had a complete kitchen remodel, including tearing down a wall between two rooms. The quality of work was excellent in each aspect of the job. Most notable was the excellent customer service. Frank kept us informed at each step. He provided great advice during the design process and also kept to our price range and style preferences. His clean up and thoroughness made the process as minimally disruptive as possible."

"Farzad has done a lot of major and minor updates to my home such as installing bathroom fans, light fixtures, venting my microwave outside and installing flooring. He found solutions to my water problem and stopped my garage and basement from flooding when it rains. He does excellent work and shows up on time. I would highly recommend him."

"I started by grouping a lot of small projects together (shed door sticking, upper level roof gutter cleaning, garage floor drain replacement, replacing door frame with termite and brick molding damage, deck railing). No job was too small. Because of his quality workmanship, I did not hesitate to call him after a sump pump failure caused a finish basement to be flooded. He made sure that he was on site when the insurance adjuster arrived. It made the whole process more complete, and he was able to answer the adjuster's questions better than I could have."

"We highly recommend "The Hired Hand" (formerly named B Squared Home Solutions). They made numerous repairs to our deck, and completely refinished it. The deck is 30 years old, and now looks as good as new. Also, they repaired a set of wooden stairs leading from outside into our basement. I thought they were beyond repair, but are now fully functional. They started the project on the date promised, kept us apprised of their progress, and finished the job on time and at the quoted cost. We are very pleased with the quality of their work, and plan to have them do future projects."

"I recently hired Zono Construction Services to replace and repair the vinyl siding on the upper halves of two sides of my two-story house that were torn off during a storm. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. They provided me with a fair price and explained everything clearly. The team was prompt and professional and the entire job took two days to complete. I highly recommend Zono Construction Services to anyone needing siding repair or replacement."

The craftsmanship and finishing details ? was excellent, and they kept the workspace clean throughout the project. The final result is beautiful, functional, and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend them and would gladly work with them again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.
