Basement Waterproofing
It was an easy repair but they did a very good job. They have reasonable price and they responded promptly when I called. They did what they said they'd do. The waterline didn't leak since so it sounds good.
I came home to find water leaking in the basement, and traced it to a burst pipe in the basement wall. Water had frozen causing the burst. Called immediately hoping I could get someone out to look at it today, and I had never called for a plumber before. Joe answered and was very polite,...
Do It All PlumbingThey did a great job. The battery backup for our sump pump wasn't working properly. I called them and their tech said he would come over as soon as he could. When he came he hooked up a new sump pump. That day there were 5 people from their company, including the owner, there to help us...
They did an A-1 Excellent Job! Our basement windows were leaking and now the windows are safer, stronger, and, most importantly, water-tight. The guy who came out was courteous, worked diligently, and cleaned up very well. I could not have asked for more from them. Just top notch work.
Bath Doctor - Cleveland Glass Block - Innovate Building SolutionsSink pipes were leaking under sink and into the basement. Called Frey and they sent someone over in a couple hours. The plumber corrected the problem under the sink and also advised me that the piping in the basement was not pitched correctly. He corrected that as well. Also advised me...

"I am not pleased with the service I received! They damaged my waterline and stated someone would be out to fix it. It's been 9 months and no one will return my calls nor have they come to fix what they damaged! They ruined my lawn and never came back to replace the soil they dug up! They ruined my basement floor and I had to replace my entire floor! They said they would be out to test the sump pump and drains that were installed, again, it's been 9 months and no one has followed up with me! I'm really concerned that the lifetime warranty they say I have even exists!"

Hello There, This is the owner of Tim's Home Improvement. We have been in this business for over 30 yrs. We are five employees strong including myself. I am a Hands on Contractor! Nothing gets done without my personal touch or approval period! You will deal with only me and will see me working on every job I put my name on. We are a full service company, meaning we do project from start to finish. We are not a sell you then sub the work out to God knows who company! I have been doing this since I graduated high school at 17. I spent nine years in the carpenters union and had top honors in my 4 year class. I love working with my clients and helping them with ideas that I have so much experience with. I think that is what separates me from some younger guy's who don't have as much knowledge and experience working with people. I truly love my job and helping my clients turning their dreams or needs into realities! Two of my sons are now aboard and eager to follow my lead. I can promise you professionalism, honesty and what I believe to be very affordable! We take our customers ratings very personally and work hard to keep our A rating! I look forward to working with all our Angie's list customers. It's always been a pleasure. Thanks, Tim.
"I hired Tim's Home Improvement to remodel my kitchen and he and his crew did a great job! Tim's communication on the project was exemplary. Tim kept me informed on everything he was going to do and when he was going to do it. He let me know what phone calls I needed to make to assist in the process. He answered my calls late into the evening and on weekends. His team did a great job of staying on task and was responsive to my concerns. I've never worked with a more proactive team on any home project. I have already hired Tim to do my bathroom remodel and am looking forward to working with him again! I would highly recommend Tim for any home remodel project. He can be trusted to do a great job and stay on budget."

"Had Betts Structural Engineering come and look at the foundation of a house we were in contract on. Josh came out and was professional and informative. He informed us the foundation was failing and explained what needed to be done. He throughly explained everything and told us how we could do it ourselves for much cheaper than a contractor could do it. In the end he saved us from a long and expensive process if we proceeded with the house."

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.
