"We had a leak in our finished basement, we called Moisture Loc to come out and inspect it and give us options. They recommended first making sure all the Foundation Drains were working properly. They checked the drains and the back drain was not working so they replaced it. Unfortunately the front was where we had a leak. Moisture Loc gave us some options, and we decided to have them re-do the waterproofing on the corner of the house that was leaking, they came in and did the work quickly and the issue has been resolved. All through the process they gave me options and explained the pros and cons and cost of each option."

"They did a good job on sealing up the basement. The french drain was a bit of a challenge. My car port was still flooding after a good steady rain. When they came back to fix, they removed some nice gravel that they installed originally and dug a little deeper and put in some stuff that was butt ugly. I didn't make a big deal of it because ultimately what I wanted was the flooding fixed. Getting them back to fix the problem took weeks. They often didn't return phone calls. The main guy said he had come out to look, but he didn't bother to tell me. The second time didn't fix it either. They finally came out a third time to work on the french drain after many phone calls and most of them not returned. I was told their answering service wasn't working a few times. Internet problems or something. But that went on for weeks. They finally sent someone out and they brought the drain further out from the edge of the car port. (The original problem they said was they couldn't dig any deeper because the edge of the carport had cement that was beyond the edge. My thought, they should have moved it back the first time when they realized this. The description of the ditch on estimate was it would be 12 to 18 inches deep. It was nothing close to this. I tried to point this out, they sort of ignored me. This whole miscalculation really wasn't my problem.)  They pulled ditch out on the other side of flower bed and made deeper, they put the crappy looking rock back and told me if it didn't work this time they couldn't do anything else. They pointed out how the hill on the side, (They put the drain in the front.) was so sloped that rain water was likely coming from there. Luckily this drain mostly fixed the problem. I felt they completely misjudged the drain situation. They bid low and that was tied up with some other work. So I can understand how their profit was trickling away. However; the way they handled the whole thing was unprofessional and careless. Due to this I decided I would probably not use them again. If you hire them to do their specialty, crawl space sealing, treatment and remedy, you may be happy with them. Just know you may have to deal with some issues around getting them to call back, etc.

"We have a mysterious smell in our great room and I was concerned that it was an electrical issue. Scott and Kurt came out, performed a number of tests, navigated the crawl (twice) looking for damaged wires and ultimately confirmed that the smell was not the result of anything electrical.  They went above and behind helping us brainstorm possible causes.
Both were very professional, courteous and neat, and helped put the room back together when we were done.
I'll be calling MI Electric for an upcoming bathroom remodel. Highly recommend.

"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."

"Chris and his team did an excellent job creating a fantastic atmosphere to sit back and relax in our backyard with the covered porch. They were cleanly, on time, and the price was right! Going to be calling him back when it’s time to remodel the bathroom to get my wife the bathtub she really wants."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.

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!

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.
