"The Moore brothers were great. They satisfied my Home Owners' Association with a detailed proposal within an hour of inspecting the job. They itemized and described the work, which included cleaning off the mold, replacing insulation, repairing joists, encapsulating the crawlspace, and creating a French Drain on the exterior of my unit to redirect the rain. They also set up my dehumidifier in the space with a wireless meter I can read from inside . Their price was in line and they did everything they promised in good order, good humor, and respect. Three other companies bid and were not even close... in promptness, plan, OR price. I highly recommend Jon and Danny Moore."

"Fantastic coordination with the owner Marc - he was prompt in providing an estimate.  Over and above expections in his ability to adjust the schedule for my needs.  The crew was on time, courteous, highly skilled and they cleaned the job site after the work was complete.  When the bill came up it was at the agreed price.
I had other estimates and MI Electric was the best price, value and service.  Would hire these folks again for any sized project!!

"I found Mr. Aybar and his team to be very friendly and engaging. They were trustworthy, and I had no problem with them being in my home when I was not there.

Their work was excellent, and was reasonably priced.

I have since engaged Mr. Aybar to provide some quotes for some additional remodeling work for my home and would not hesitate to engage him or his team again."

"Everything went well working with Chris and Dan. This was our first experience remodeling anything in our home and we were very anxious and paranoid the whole time. As a result, we were often asking questions as to why they were doing things a certain way and both were happy to explain themselves and it always made rational sense. They were very patient with our questions as well as our indecisiveness at times and they were also helpful in providing guidance from a design and functionality standpoint which we found valuable. The other note was this was our only shower in our place so Chris and Dan worked hard to get the project done quickly so we didn't have to shower at the gym any longer than we had to. I will not lie, I would have like to spend a little less money but after getting a couple other quotes in the preliminary stages FCR definitely was at market value and they provided a level of detail and attentiveness that we did not receive from the other contractors we approached. Again everything seemed to be at market value and all the money charged was validated with quality work. Finally, FCR was good about ensuring that we were happy after they were done, there was a small area where the paint didn't seem to be drying right and they came back several times to ensure it ended up the way we wanted it. I would recommend FCR to anyone redoing a bathroom."

"Solar Interest were great throughout the entire process of reroofing my home and installing a solar system. They were never overly pushy or trying to sell me. Instead they educated me about solar and the savings I would see, and did a fantastic job on my roof. I would definitely hire them again."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

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!

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.
