"We couldnâ  t be happier with our home remodel by Price Builders! The entire team was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation through the final reveal. They listened carefully to our needs and preferences and provided expert guidance throughout the design process. The project manager and business owner Mr. Price kept us informed every step of the way and promptly addressed our questions or concerns. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the finished space are truly impressive. Our new home remodeling exceeds our expectations, and weâ  re grateful to Price Builder for bringing our vision to life! Please contact him with any of your home care needs as he will answer or return your call in a timely matter. If I were to rate his business on a scale of 1-10 I would honesty say that he surpasses a 10. Ask for images of our home and you too would agree that his services are impeccable."

"We had lived in our home for almost 29 years and what started out as a minor job to repair our livingroom floor turned out to be a major repair for almost our whole downstairs because of termites. A&B started the job and were very professional and took good care of us while the work was being done. They kept us up on the work being done and used top notch professional people to treat our home for the termites, rebuild our floors, walls, insulation, electrical work, sheetrock, painters and a new HVAC system. They are truly givers and not takers! Shane, the Field Manager, was very knowlegable, professional and made sure we were pleased with the work that was done. They did an excellent job on the rebuild and we highly recommed A&B Building Group for any job that you may need, small or large. We are so glad to get our home back and it is much better shape and nicer than when we first bought it! It looks like a new home! I give them more than 5 stars! P. Warren"

"After completion of our bathroom remodel, we now literally give tours to our friends and neighbors. It's spacious and much safer with the ADA layout and new shower concept. Everybody finds the bright new look to be an investment and an enhancement. It adds value but is safer and that's most important. I next plan for my deck to be torn down and rebuilt and will again use Palmetto Renovations only. I have projects and they have expertise."

"CC recommended Scott/April for our shower remodel. They came out and did the measurements and talked about options.  I liked Scott's ideas -- he is definitely a creative thinker.  However, it took a bit to get them to reconnect with me to give me the results of their estimate.  I wasn't even sure they wanted the job because of their proximity to me.  Once I was able to speak to them, they assured me they would send the esimate and apologized for the delay. By that time I had found another contractor to come out and provide an estimate, who also had good ideas.  This one contractor seemed more interested in the job and gave an estimate that was a little lower, except it included the schluter waterproofing system.
Scott and April were very helpful and kind, and they later contacted me via email after they hadn't heard back from me in a couple week's time to see if I was still interested in their services so they could plan their own jobs.  I explained that I had chosen someone else, but did want to keep their contact info nearby because I had additional bathrooms needing remodeling in the very near future.  I did like CC and the contractors they sent out -- I would just recommend them improving on their responsiveness.  I would definitely recommend giving them consideration for shower remodeling.

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

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.

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!
