"We were dealing with a drainage issue in our front yard that was worsening due to heavy rains and local construction. After calling Mike, he quickly came to our house, assessed the situation and designed a drainage solution for us. His team showed up to do the work exactly on the day he promised, and completed the job ahead of schedule. His crew took exceptional care to minimize the impact to our lawn by hand digging and filling the trench. After completion of the job you could barely tell the work was completed since it looked great. Most of all the system worked perfectly and completely eliminated the puddling we were experiencing. Mike amd his crew are true professionals who know their business and actually do what they commit to doing. I highly recommend them and greatly appreciate what they did to solve our drainage issue in a timely and professional manner."
"If you are looking for a solid construction company sonart is the way to go for sure! All I could say was wow aside from the fact that my mouth was completely open for a solid five minutes LOL! The house was built around the 50s and hasnâ t been updated since the original build. To see our bathrooms brought more to a modern the lights was honestly heartwarming I know my mother would have appreciated this!Thank you again guys for your hard work!"
"Had a great experience with Brown Foundation, specifically Phillip. Had him come check out my crawl space for moisture, because a section of my wood floors are cupping a bit. Phiilip showed up, evaluated the entirety of my crawl space and gave me detailed feedback on what was needed to fix the issue. Turns out it was a small plumbing issue that should cost WAY less to repair than I originally feared. Was happy he didn't try to upsell me or give me some sort of minimal report on what I needed, which would have required me to do more time-consuming research. Highly recommend."

"We are having our fence extended and the company sliced the underground irrigation wires in several places so the fence work had to be halted until sprinkler wiring was repaired. We are do it yourselfers but still needed some advice and parts so we called Moore SC on JULY 4th. I couldn't believe they were open and the lady on the phone was super helpful, so my husband asked if they did repairs and the answer was yes! So when she told us they could come the very next day between noon and 2 we decided to let the pros do the repairs. Sabino showed up today at 2:45 and was very knowledgeable and worked quickly which is nice as you are paying by the hour. About 50 feet of underground wiring had to be completely replaced. All in all $282. I'm super pleased with the professionalism, promptness and quality of work. I'm sure it is difficult to gauge timing of appointments as there are so many possible issues with irrigation systems. I felt 2:45 arrival was acceptable."
"Everything is now working well. Brendon was careful and inspected everything before making any decisions. He listened carefully to what was going on now as well as some earlier problems. He let me know what needed to be done.. And, he kept me updated. After the work was done, he explained everything once more and was able to clearly detail a course of action for some future issues I had asked about. He was courteous and very professional. I felt comfortable having him in my home. Plus, he was able to arrive earlier than I was originally told. He called ahead when he was on his way. The price was excellent and even less than originally quoted because one step was not needed."
"I had an excellent experience with BuildWell. They did a fantastic job installing my gutters. Very clean, professional, and detail-oriented work. The team was on time, efficient, and the results look great. Highly recommend!"
"We had an issue with our sidewalk and curb in front of our house being unlevel and possibly a safety hazard. Jakalon was a one man show last Saturday. He was courteous, informative and professionally personable when he spoke with my husband and I. We would check on him and his work during the process and he would stop and share what he was doing. We were able to sign off on his work in a satisfactory time frame. Thanks J, we like your work!"
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation.
Home improvement grants are available for various groups, including individuals with very low-income housing, elderly people, older adults, and veterans.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.
Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.
Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.
