"I hired Rob after talking to others about his work. He met with my wife and i, we discussed what we wanted and was thinking about. He provided a written quote and a timeline of the project. Before starting i had more questions which he went over in detail as well as made suggestions which made the end result amazing! Him and his crew were polite, respectful of time and of our house. Their attention to detail is first rate. Items like picture framing the stairs so as not to see end cuts of material, using material to get the edge of the steps covered so its not just wood, making drains for the hogwire so water cant sit in the wood, etc. To me these are things that separate them from others"

"You'd better grab them before they're busy on another job. It's not easy to find quality people to hire. I'm not sure I have enough adjectives to describe Adam and assistant. Cheerful, friendly, efficient. Maybe the best thing is integrity. You can just tell. 😊 Did a great job on patio furniture assembly, made sure it was it was comfortable for me and that I was satisfied with the result. And the amount charged was so reasonable. Grateful to have found Elite Enclosures. Can't wait to call Adam again - have several projects around my property and am relieved that I have a reputable company to contact. Not to mention the extra customer service: my people-loving, nosy terrier was being a drama queen...he wanted to be out there - and the guys said no problem. That was certainly above and beyond my expectations! Thanks again, Adam!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Yes, finishing a basement is worth the money in most cases. Although the project is a relatively expensive one, finishing a basement adds usable square footage to your home and typically increases your home value. Many times, your finished basement will add value that’s equal to or greater than the cost of finishing.

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

Home improvements that increase value not only enhance quality of life but also offer a high return on investment (ROI). Replacing a garage door has one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-ROI projects include remodeling your kitchen, installing a stone veneer, and replacing windows. These updates make homes more appealing to buyers and improve functionality, which helps if you plan to sell your home in the future.

Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.
