"Gary remodeled multiple bathrooms for our remodel of an 1899 house. Although Gary was only contracted to support the bathrooms remodels, he also took care of the multiple other jobs. Gary brings a great craftsmanship to the project and has artistic perspective that help make the project flow and support in progress decisions. Gary took care of everything in the bathroom including carpentry, tilework, electric and plumbing. Also Gary took care of numerous odd cleanup jobs from other contractors (drywell finishing, wire pulling. ). Looking forward to using Gary in the future."

Leboeuf Home Improvements, LLC is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business

"We hired Leboeuf Home Improvements to install LVP flooring to cover a large section of our home. They did an absolutely fantastic job, and we love the look of our new floors. They communicated well, were flexible in scheduling, fair in pricing, and were quick to install. During the initial consult and estimate process, they explained every step, possible challenges, and took the time and patience to offer multiple options and pricing for each option. They also suggested possible additions to the job without feeling like they were trying to push extras onto me, but because they thought it would be good for my home. Above all, they were friendly and easy to talk to. Our floor was in rough condition due to poor maintenance and pet damage, and there was no sense of judgement from them about this. The whole process felt like us vs. the challenges of the project, not just them. If there was some way for me to give 6 stars I would. I have never been more happy with a professional."

"Having bad experiences working with other contractors in the past, I was nervous to hire someone else to perform a much needed remodel to my 15 year old bathroom. Thankfully, I’ve come across Kish and she was able to exceed my expectations.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, though this varies by state regulations. You may live in an area that allows for below-grade spaces to be considered in a home's official square footage. In those cases, the basement must meet certain conditions, like having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. Your local assessor can confirm your area's policies regarding basement square footage.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
