"Ben and his crew were amazing. We redid our garage entry to make it a mudroom / laundry / pantry / storage area. The job went quickly and we collaborated on solutions to our needs. At the end, we had custom cabinets, an awesome custom shelf on rollers, a stacked laundry, a hall tree, and more storage than we thought possible. All finished with great shiplap. They also took a HUGE room upstairs over our garage and gave us an extra laundry for the kids, a media room, and a fourth bedroom with walk in closet. They also gave us an extra storage area in the media room since the builder blocked off lots of usable space. The last project was giving our master a makeover. They moved 3 doors, moved our bathroom door, added a linen closet to the bathroom, moved the entry to the closet from the bathroom to the master and gave us a cool entrance to the bedroom. If you have a job to do, they'll do it right, work together to decide how things should look, and do an darn good job. All while respecting your budget. Overall, HIRE THEM!! Ben is very outgoing and fun to talk with. Can't say enough good things! Thanks Ben! We'll see you again for our next projects in the future."

"The trimming of the Crepe Myrtles was done well.  I thought they were going to be lowering the tops of (2) of the Crepe Myrtle Trees that were closest to my home, but they just trimmed them back from the home which was fine.  The crew was on time, but the gentleman that came out to walk through all the work prior, I do not believe was on site as I received calls from the crew on site asking me about specific trees and what needed to be done.  I was expecting some communication on a full plan for my yard on landscaping that involved planting (trees, flowers, & shrubs), removal and installation of mulch, and removal of brick walls on current planter boxes, but there has never been anything to come of this.  I have not had any communication from the company since the work was completed.  
I am not saying the work performed was bad, I was just disappointed in that I gave them an opportunity to earn more of my business and there was no follow through.

"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!!

"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."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

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.

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.
