23 Competed 7/29 and they worked through 2 downpours. Cleanup was good, could have been better. They left loose trash and a dozed bags in my driveway - going on 5 weeks so far and still waiting. I'm confused about the repairs. Your $550 estimate jumped to $1000, then $5500 for a supported...
Sunrise ConstructionTony did a great job resealing my bathroom shower with silicone, to prevent water leak to the ceiling downstairs. He patched up the ceiling removing the water stained part. He was very punctual in his appointments and skilled in the repair. He also helped me fix a broken drywall without...
It went very well. The two men who did the job were so clean, my basement looked better than it did before they started.
It was 4 AM, and our baseboards started making a strange hissing noise. When we went down to the basement, we found out that water was just pouring out of the furnace. Looked on Angie's List, and found a few 24 hr emergency services. I called a few, nobody got back to us, until I tried A&R...
We had a badly damaged front step that included some rotting railroad ties. It was both ugly and unsafe. Fred discussed several options with us, including the relatively inexpensive option of repair. (I had assumed going in that the whole thing would have to be replaced.) We went with the...
Excavated so water flowed into basement. Improperly constructed retaining wall. Improperly installed French and deep drains. Had to return under supervision of another contractor to fix direction of water flow into house. Overcharged.
I had this work done February 28 20015.They are terrible. they never came back to fill the hole they dug. I called and they never back. they also just threw the toilet into the yard. I called and again didn't return my call. the toilet is still in the yard.it seemed that the problem was...
Excellent! basement is dry, work was done on time and as contracted. Money was well spent and I would use this mason again.
This was the low cost estimate for my job. Showed up when he promised me. Did the work and everthing met expectations. At the first rain, some two weeks later, all of the corner joint on the gutters leaked. Was promised a return visit several times but since my waife and I both work,...

"Dave Nessel and his stellar company, Unique Construction NY Inc. are the BEST. Allow me tell you why- On May 15th 2022 at 5:45 p.m., my house was hit by, what electrical engineers later estimated, was at least 80,000 volts of lightning. That huge, direct surge of energy destroyed all the systems and contents that made my house more than four walls and a roof. In addition to the bolt of lightning destroying all the systems in the house, it caused a violent, destructive fire. Thankfully I was home at the time of the incident, or the house would have quickly burned down all the way down and my pets would have suffered a terrible fate. Still, after all was said and done what had been my home for seventeen years was reduced to nothing more than an outer shell. I was immediately forced into the position to find, hire, and organize tradesmen from all specialties, negotiate the endless complexities of homeowners insurance, all while trying to find a place to live and continuing my self-employed full-time work schedule. It quickly became clear I needed the services of a general contractor. I interviewed a couple, but as soon as I met Dave I knew he was the man for the job. Dave was always on time or early. He went through the house with a fine tooth comb for hours, noticing things and problems from the destruction I hadn't noticed. His expertise of every level of construction and understanding of all aspects of housing systems (electrical, plumbing, etc) was unmatched by anyone else I had interviewed. Additionally he had an understanding of the homeowner insurance protocols and was able to interject as a supporting role (only when needed, Dave never undermined me -I'm a single female homeowner-) with professional, easy to read, paperwork, accurately demonstrating all costs. I'm confident his detailed documentation made the long slog of negotiations with my insurance representatives a little easier. Under his expert guidance, his company gutted and rebuilt my old house to beautifully modern standards while maintaining its historical charm. The rebuild came in precisely on budget and two weeks early. Dave's company Unique Construction handled my complex situation with upstanding processional skill, old fashioned kindness, and outstanding forthrightness. Dave and his crew treated me with respect, rebuilt my home, and provided a little hand holding & TLC when it seemed I needed it and I'm eternally grateful. Anyone reading this should hire Unique Construction!"

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
A basement remodel can often cost as much as adding another room. However, homeowners should consider the usefulness and ROI of a remodel.
