109 Greg is truly our plumbing and home repair hero and we would highly recommend Greg’s Renovations for any project. This was our second project with Greg, and it won’t be the last. We had an unexpected leak through our ceiling over the weekend that turned out to be a much bigger repair than...
Greg's RenovationsThe roof was not installed correctly and it leaked. I asked him to fix the problem and he came and put some caulking down but it still leaked. I tried to call him several times after that and left messages but he would not respond. I had to have the roof completely re-done. The new roofer...
Because of the large basement and also a crawl space Twan had to return several times to seal these areas. He was always pleasant and reliable until the job was well done.
Excellent repair.
Well with some initial problems. The problems were solved and the basement--nearly 13 years later has been dry. The original sump pump installed by the contractors, with extremely heavy use (sometimes pumping every 43 SECONDS for MONTHS at a time), lasted 11 years.
The office was quick to respond to my initial request through Angie's list messaging, the appointment was scheduled for a few days out, the repairman showed up on time and thoroughly fixed our leak.
Ace Handyman Services of South Central PAWhat an awesome garage! Rare find these days. I thought I had a rear main seal leak. The Kreitzer team found a leak, but it wasn't a rear main seal and it was a much cheaper fix, like 600 dollars cheaper. This is the only place I will take my cars in PA. Thank you Kreitzer team!
Kreitzer's Automotive ServiceFound and corrected a leak from ice maker. They were the third plumber. They did what others could not do. I would highly recommend them.
My husband called first thing the next morning after we reviewed potential contractors on Angie's List. Our call was returned within 30 minutes and he came to our house that afternoon. Fans and heaters were brought in immediately to dry out the water damaged area which thankfully was not too...

"I have used other contractors in the past this was my worst experience. I called to schedule an estimate and they were booked out 6 to 8 weeks as of March 10 I got an estimate date first week of June the Day of the estimate I received a call if they can reschedule next week they were busy which I agreed upon. The following week they came out took detailed information on what I needed done and stated they had to draw up an estimate and will get back to me. After the third week I started calling to see where the estimate was it took them three more weeks a total of six weeks to get me an estimate and then the estimate wasn’t of the whole project I wanted done. They missed several things so then I got the second estimate which I agreed upon and they stated they will call back with a date for repairs. Second mistake I waited another four weeks before they got back to me with a date on Monday and Tuesday the end of September. They arrived on Monday and Started some of the work I was a little concerned and called Dean Martin co owner and discussed my concerns the following day they did some adjustments and by the time I got there after a four hour meeting in the morning they were gone. Two workers no more than nine hours of work and they stated they will get back to me with someone to do the drywall patching. Granted this was Tuesday no one got in touch with me until the following Wednesday when they asked if they could come in that Thursday which I was out of town. This is incredibly frustrating they are not well-managed in the Their projects. Granted the flooring was nice but the patch work was disappointing for that price entire walls should be replaced not small sections. So now I had to go ahead and hire another contractor to finish the work and the New contractor got back to me the next day. Angie recommended Action Door they were expensive however I thought that came with their work ethics and quality of work which I am far from impressed. I would not recommend this company to anyone. I just lost $4000 down payment incredible"

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.
