"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"The workers showed up 15 minutes earlier than expected, they were courteous and worked quickly, they kept area clean and safe, amd kept us informed as the remodel progressed. When issues arose, they would involve us in finding a solution, they finished the remodel on-time and on budget. Very satisfied with the work, and having a FIVE YEAR guarantee on materials and labor is amazing, will recommend to all my neighbors, family and friends. Thanks Elite..."

"We hired Cory to do measurements & create an architectural design plan for our relatively involved home remodel (kitchen, dining room, half bath, and laundry room). Cory was fantastic! He was very flexible and was able to work around our schedules. He was friendly, personable, and very professional. He wasn't bothered at all when my 4-year-old son wanted to talk to him about dinosaurs while taking his measurements. Cory was responsive to feedback & quickly made adjustments to his initial design to meet our needs. I really appreciated his keen eye - with his tips it's far better than we had initially hoped! His fee was very reasonable, better than most other architects we spoke with. I would absolutely hire him again & recommend him to friends!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.

Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you’ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you’re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you’ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you’re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you’ll save considerable money.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
