"I'm remodeling a rental property, was looking for help to get things done faster. Contacted All Builds Construction to do drywall/tape/mud/finish ceilings in two rooms. Found out during the estimate they can do much more than just drywall. Ended up also having them install kitchen cabinets and countertops. Everything from communication to price to workmanship were all great, no complaints at all. I would absolutely recommend them, and will certainly call the next time I need more work done. You won't be disappointed, give them a call!"
"Austin was an excellent worker. Got the job done efficiently and sooner than expected. Would hire him again if I need more work done. His work was excellent!"
"Don is very personable and offered great suggestions on a more "fininshed" look for our kitchen. Our cabinets have just come in and we have every confidence that HR Builders will do a very professional job."

"Very pleased w remodel. Jesse ( business owner) was always on time , completed all portions of project on time schedule provided , communicated daily on how project was progressing and time schedule to completion. He was very flexible w work schedule based on my unusual work schedule . He involved myself in decisions re choices of color of paint, style of fixtures lights etc and when given flexibility of choice and asked for his opinion demonstrated great taste . He was very meticulous in his work down to fine details, shows pride in his work and was very fair on pricing. I wasn’t certain at first where to turn to have a shower placed in my half bath for an elderly parent who I did not want to have to climb stairs to get to other bathrooms in the house. All other remodelers contacted did not provide service of placing a shower in but only replace existing shower or bath. He knocked out part of bathroom wall into adjoining laundry room for the shower and placed new dry wall. He placed tiled shower, new vanity , new towel holders, toilet paper holders , new fan vent and had to rework existing plumbing ( new shower , moved washer and dryer based on existing space requiring new dryer air duct ,further enhancement in plumbing for washer and did an awesome job. When an outdoor faucet ? Valve broke ( not his fault ) he replaced piping placed new indoor shut off valve even though not part of original project.Very pleased w end result, my adult daughter , son and his friends were raving about the remodel of both the bathroom and laundry room. Very appreciative. If looking for business who’s owner is very skilled ,meticulous, flexible ,prompt , professional and personable I’m confident you will be pleased with his work if hired"
If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.
How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.
The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.
A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.
In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.
You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.
