"Everything was very good. Their service was very good, the workers were very considerate and they worked professionally and their price is reasonable too."

AMV is family owned and operated. We offer professional, clean, curtious service. We value each and every one of our clients; however, we offer our Angie's List clientele a 5% discount off of the price of labor.

We specialize in large and small building projects. From fine millwork to large home builds, we do it all. Glad to walk you through the building process, and provide insight while we answer your questions. Custom doors, chairs, banquettes, wainscoting and other fine work are our speciality. Parallel to our delicate work is our heavy construction. From large 3,000 sq ft homes to tiny homes, we work with the build code and are in constant communication with the build department, architect, engineers and home owner.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Woodstock GC for a framing project involving new doors and windows, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the team at Woodstock GC demonstrated a level of professionalism and craftsmanship that exceeded my expectations. I recommend Woodstock GC for any framing or construction needs. Their dedication to quality, customer satisfaction, and professionalism sets them apart in the industry. Excellent job – I couldn't be happier with the results!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

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.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.
