"We did almost the entire house through Paul. Some of his workmanship - especially the fine details like small paint splatter, garage floor epoxy coat application, and cabinet painting - was 3 stars at first. Other work he did - installing new plumbing fixtures, bathtub sliding doors, sheet metal exhaust for kitchen - were 5 stars. Paul consistently worked to get it right and make me happy. He was always responsive and available. His attitude is 5 starts. He was open about his costs. Some things dragged on but most remodel contractors suffer from this ailment. Because of the scarcity of tradesmen in Bend/Central Oregon, I recommend learning the history about his subcontractors before they start work on your house. Most were good but a couple did not have the right experience."
"Eliot has done numerous projects for me and I am never disappointed. He was quick to get me his bid and willing to explain anything I didn't understand. I found his pricing to be very competitive and we discussed any changes that may have needed to be made. He trimmed out the windows in my home, repaired some damaged siding and all the work was done in a timely manner. I especially appreciated his job site cleanliness. I highly recommend Wood Remodeling for any home remodel."
"I was no able o choose multiple services, but Wayne not only remodeled the kitchen, but also the laundry and will be replacing our decks. This is a log home and comes with its unique challenges. Wayne was efficient, skilled and produced high quality work in a very timely manner. Beyond that, his customer service is stellar and he is a pleasure o work with. I highly recommend!"
"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
"Steve has an amazing attention to detail. I hired him to do a major remodel on a house in town. We added about 800 ft.² two bedrooms, a family room and a bathroom when the job was done you couldn’t even tell there was an addition added. The roof line siding and windows match perfectly."
"When he removed the old shower unit in our bathroom he found a leak. It was a pretty bad one, coming from the roof. He then inspected my roof, and was able to fit the cost of the roof into the cost of the bathroom remodel for not nearly as much money as I thought. He did an excellent job. He had the roof done in one weekend and fixed all the drywall that needed replacing because of the leak."
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.
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.
For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote.
It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.
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.
