63 Brandon and his dad came and fixed my roof leak. They quickly identified the issue and offered a couple of solutions. After I selected the solution they were able to get right to fixing my issue. I would hire them again if I have other home issues in the future.
Brandon Talbot HandymanI want to recommend Fonseca and Griffin Plumbing in East Syracuse. I called them about 2 months ago to fix a leak under a bathroom sink. Plumber Jason came and fixed the leak. But the problem reappeared today and Jason juggled his work schedule to return immediately to fix it. Turns out that...
Fonseca and Griffin Plumbing and Mechanical, LLCExcellent job. Before closing our potential house had a water leak. Jesse came back for a 2nd inspection and was able to modify his schedule in order to do so. Will use him in the future.
J Guyer Home InspectionsIt ended up being a water line leak under my house in a wet crawl space and he was professional and never complained. Plumbing work is not cheap but it had to be done. I do recommend them.
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Madison & Oneida CountiesWe’ve used them twice. They found out where the leaks were and they were around the gutter area and they just went up and completely resealed all of them. They did a better job than the people who did 30% higher.
Progreen Superior Coatings And Roofing, Inc.Went well, she found a slight plumbing leak on the exterior of the house, even took pictures and sent them to me and we had our plumber there the next day to fix it.
The work was done smoothly and quickly. The workers were on-time, conscientious, and fast. It has not leaked since. The concrete is thinner than I would like, but most of it was strong enough to re-install carpet tack strips without breaking. In one spot it was too thin, and it would not...
B-Sure Systems IncIn the summer of 2012 the roof over the garage began to leak. I called vander hoof. They came over and applied tar for $150.00. The work did not fix the problem.

"I hired Highlander to install a channel drain in front of garage to keep it from getting water in it. The guy showed up with his 16 year old son and dug the trench and laid the pipe very shallowly and left a large open hole in front of my driveway, that was one issue. The second issue was there was no slope to to the pipe. It is straight so the water is not actually draining. The third issue was they cemented the grates onto the the channel drain when they are supposed to be removable so you can clean it. They did correct that and the hole near the driveway they patched with stone, but it is still not pitched properly and the concrete was cracking almost immediately after drying, I asked for the salesman to come back and look at it and asked him if it looked professional, because it didn?t to me or my stepfather who does concrete for a living, and his response was that it did. Well, less than an a year and grates are popping up because the concrete is completely cracked."

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.
