"The sales rep was very personable and seemed to have knowledge of drainage problems and solutions. The workers arrived on schedule and worked very hard to accomplish the task at hand. They routed the drainage to an open ditch parallel to the property. They also rerouted drainage for an existing, inefficient french drain and sump that was pumping water across the driveway that was washing the soil out from under the concrete and creating an unsightly stain. To this point, we felt that all was going well. The problem that arose was that the French drain they installed was still higher than the foundation of the house. They filled in the trench with gravel to facilitate drainage, but covered the gravel with the soil they removed, which is mostly clay. Consequently, the water still runs off across the top of the French drain and overwhelms the foundation. Moisture in the crawl space has not been significantly reduced. I talked to the rep about redoing the crawl space which had mold forming on the floor joists. He gave me a quote that included sealing all the vents, cleaning the mold, adjusting pitch of the interior perimeter French drain, relocating the crawl sump and pump to a better collection point, putting down new vapor barrier and installing a crawl space dehumidifier, ($1,500.00) at a total cost of $4,290.00. If we wanted mold remediation treatment in addition to just cleaning the mold, the cost was an additional $1,950.00. The rep also agreed to send a team back out to remove the top layer of soil from the French drain and fill the trench with gravel, build up the soil at the foundation, making the new French drain at a level lower than the foundation to contain the water, at no additional charge. Subsequent to all that, we discovered some major structural damage that was going to be costly. Alignment of priorities and available finances dictated that the crawl space would have to be put on hold, at least temporarily. I sent an email to the Moisture Loc rep explaining our dilemma, but reiterated that I still expected him to live up to his promise to fix the French drain deficiencies, for which I already paid handsomely. In spite of email, text messages and voice mail to the rep, I have never received the courtesy of a response. I can only conclude that since we had to suspend the crawl space work, there is no intention to make the necessary changes/repairs to the original work as promised.

"I saw this Angie's List deal and assumed that it would pay for the tree removal. So I bought the deal for my daughter. A man from Dynamic Services went to my daughter's house last week and gave her a quote for the tree to be cut down, cut up and hauled away. The quote was over a thousand dollars! Therefore we obtained other quotes from other providers to do the same work. Two other companies gave a lower quote and therefore my daughter is going to hire the company that she can afford instead of Dynamic Services. Please give me a refund because we cannot use this "Deal"."

"What they did was good. The gentleman that installed the switches did not check the (2) 2-way switches before he left and I found that one switch would lock the other from turning on. They did have someone come back out and make the repair. My only complaint would be that they put the dimmer switches in inconvenient locations, as opposed to where I requested them to be installed."

"We are incredibly happy with Carolina Complete Services and the work that they did for us. Jon responded to our quote request within 24 hours and was very professional and approachable. Within days, Alex - his drywall/painter- was at our house looking over the project and giving us a precise quote, and our project was scheduled promptly. Alex was great- knowledgeable, meticulous, and diligent, and Jon kept in close contact throughout to ensure the project went smoothly. The end result exceeded our expectations. We will definitely use Carolina Complete Services again in the near future."

"America?s Choice Contractors remodeled our kitchen in April
2013. What a fantastic job!
 I can?t say enough good things about this fine group of
professionals. Chuck Rhoden and his crew, Rick, Tommy and Davey were a pleasure
to work with. Chuck met with us many times during the planning of our project
offering suggestions and answering our questions. He even took the time to meet
with us at supplier?s locations to advise us regarding quality materials to
achieve the durability and good looks we achieved in our new kitchen.
 Chuck was great and proved to be an honest and dedicated
professional.  Chuck?s crew Rick, Tommy,
and Davey treated us and our home with the upmost respect and concern. Their
professionalism not only shows in their work, but also in their punctuality and
attention to every detail. It was apparent that their goal of a beautiful
kitchen was as important to them as it was to us.
Chuck Rhoden, owner of America?s Choice Contractors, directs
his company in a way that shows his love for his work, his employees, and his
customers.  Because of this, we would not
hesitate to use America?s Choice Contractors again and we plan to do so in the
near future. We trust them completely and look forward to our next project. I
would rate America?s Choice a Five Star Organization and would recommend them
without reservation.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

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.

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.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
