"Marteeny installed all of our interior doors, trim, baseboards, etc. They gave us good options and recommendations and the final product has made our home look so much more elegant. The re-sale value will be greatly impacted by their design and attention to detail. I would recommend Marteeny for any project, large or small. They also installed our bathroom tile which looks awesome! Thanks Paul!"

"Paul was great to work with. We hired him to finish our basement, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and reliable throughout the project. All work was completed on schedule and to a high standard using trusted subcontractors. Since we live in San Diego and couldn’t be onsite, his honesty and dependability meant a lot to us. We’d highly recommend him."

"Adam and his crew did amazing work going above and beyond expectations. Went out of his way to pickup things that were missing out of the shed kit. It was very appreciated that he picked up a vapor barrier so the shed would be built to last. Great communication and even better price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend and/or use on future projects. Thanks Adam!"

"Justin worked so hard to make sure our insurance company got us what we needed, that we were back in our house as quickly as possible, and my children would be safe. He was so very helpful, it would not have gone nearly as smoothly with anyone else!"

"I just want to say thank our project manager Max! He was on top of things and kept the project moving smoothly! I can’t express how stress free this remodel went compared to other remodels I’ve done. He communicates clearly, and followed up regularly. I’m just so impressed with how my new kitchen looks. From the blue prints to real life it’s exactly what I wanted and imagined. Thank you thank you!"

"This was a first time project for us, installing a deck. We were looking for a reasonable and reliable contractor that provided quality work, we didnt want any surprises or delays... Hiring MRI Construction was the best decision we made!. Shannon and Dawna were very professional and well skilled at their job. They both provided excellent service and quality work. They went above and beyond what was expected. They were always on time and efficient and completed the work as promised. We will definitely have them back for any future projects."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don’t skip it!

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

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.
