"The crew did an exceptional job of tiling my backsplash. They were very professional and careful of the surrounding area. When done they cleaned up nicely"

"Finding a good contractor in Myrtle Beach can be a challenge. I have been a realtor in Myrtle Beach for near 10 years and Don (quality solutions) is the best I’ve met and will exclusively use him for any/all jobs in the future. I interviewed two contractors to finish an extensive remodel including bathroom, kitchen, wood floor Carolina room, + way more. Don met me same day I called even though he had other jobs - he was early to the property and right away I knew he was the clear choice to hire. High character. Honest. Knowledgeable. Showed high patience and skill throughout project. Communication skills off the charts - always kept me up to date on progress and when problems arose he had solutions ready which really made my job so much easier. Can’t say enough good things about him - trustworthy and exceeds professional standards. Best part is he does do QUALITY work. Trust me Don’t let the Boston accent fool you - call him! You won’t regret it. Don - thank you again for your work on this remodel - I would have never got this done without you."
"Top quality work, great prices and extraordinary people! I look forward to working with this Company again, so needless to say, I highly recommend them! Great work, and keep it up."
"James was very polite and professional when I talked to him about going out and taking a look at the property. He called me back very quickly for a quote and description of the repairs that were to be done. He was there within 3 days to do the work and finished that day. The price was very reasonable and he did not try haggle me into repairing the entire roof, which prior to me calling him, two other roofers told me the entire roof must be replaced. I knew the entire roof did not need to be replaced at the time. James is a very professional and trusworthy contractor that I would recommend to anyone."
"I called Hamilton Home Improvement and got an affordable estimate and friendly phone service. They got to my house quicker then other places normally do and they were very professional and kind. I would highly recommend them and I will definitely be using them again for any other home improvement needs I have."
"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!
It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.
Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.
Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:
Replacing insulation
Replacing carpet or other flooring
Adding heating and cooling
Adjusting or adding walls and doors
Altering or adding plumbing elements
If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.
Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.
