Hello, my name is Jimmy Bidwell owner of Bidwell Painting. I’ve been painting professionally for 24 years. As of right now I currently have 4 employees, plus myself. I’ve tried before to use some sub-contractors and it didn’t work out too well so I do not sub out any of my jobs. It’s strictly me and my crew your dealing with. My licence is on file for Hamilton County lic#036923. I always give free estimates just as long as it’s in a 25mile range. I do write contracts/proposals for every job I do, and it explains everything we will be performing on job. It also details dollar amounts for the overall job and material. No surprise charges on any contracts unless approved by customer. We are investor/and reality friendly and no job is too big or too small. We have hundreds of references and guaranteed all our work. Additional service areas: portions of Dade, Jackson, Polk, Walker & Whitfield Counties

"The crew was polite and offered a fair price. The work resulted a less than desirable finish, however the price made that acceptable. The unfinished job, and ghosting made the whole experience unacceptable. The clean up was also not up to par, as our trash can, and plants all had a nice mist of white spray paint."

"Noah and his team do awesome work, we could not have made a better choice in choosing him for our bath remodel. Our bathroom had a severely damaged subfloor from an old and leaky toilet. We were aware of the enormity of the job and had several contractors take a look at it but just did not trust they could get the job done. Noah and team took the challenge head on and worked diligently to completion. During the process of fixing the bathroom Noah was courteous, punctual, and professional. Top notch work from a top notch team now our bathroom is not only safe to walk on but beautiful as well."

“At The Ready Family we create a professional, enjoyable service experience while protecting and beautifying the assets of our commercial and residential clients using quality coatings applications so our customers may have a better return on investment and quality of life.”

"Terrible company that does not stand behind their work. The owner Ken is nothing short of a bald faced liar. I had this company do 2 different commercial jobs and they screwed them both up. One they fixed after we chased them for months and the other they refused to fix even after it became apparent that their crew hadn't cleaned or prepped the walls properly which caused the paint to start flaking off within a month or so of the completion date. Ken was full of hot air and excuses and even tried to blame Sherwin Williams paint for their subpar work. They have been paid in full and yet they still refuse to fix their mistake. Classic example of a company that doesn't desire to be in business."

Hello we offer any type of landscaping remodeling decks porches dirt work tree work and roofing ect We will guarantee to leave you with a smile We have been in the business for several years!! We are owner operated We would love to take care of your home There is no job to big nor to small

"Rhett Ellison of Ellison’s Home Improvements is a class act. I live in NC and was charged with finding a North Georgia contractor to design, build and install outside stairrails/balusters for a 1970-something home inhabited by my 80 and 84 year old in-laws, both of whom have balance & walking difficulties. Neither set of steps was built per today’s standards so simply purchasing a kit or similar was not possible. Additionally, this issue was ignored by family members until I involved Rhett. Suddenly, he’s inundated with texts/questions for which I already had answers per our discussions. However, I needed numerous written responses from him so I could forward to these individuals doubting my ability to discuss my in-law’s needs. Rhett has the patience of Job and showed such kindness in walking me thru his ideas and explaining everything to my in-laws until they were comfortable. Rhett met with my in-laws on two separate occasions to confirm their wishes regarding and comfort with the design decisions. His work also involved replacing step with a small deck/stairs. Additionally, he created a step between a living room and a later built sunroom that required a significant step down/up due to height difference & installing two outdoor wrought iron grab bars. He contacted me the same day as I posted an inquiry on Angi’s and within 2 weeks, completed the project. I wish he lived in North Carolina! Fantastic customer service, a creative mind and a skilled professional!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

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.

Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.
