"Lakewood does good work. They are generally conscientious and work to ensure customer satisfaction. The project took a little longer than expected, but that is the nature of these projects. Pleased with results!"
"The job was small but the company responded when many companies would refuse. Ivan came and look at the roof leak on my sunroom. Very pleasant and honest which is rare in this kind of business, ( from previous experience). He showed me the roof problem, explained the cause and fixed it. Made further recommendations without any pressure. This company and with employees like Ivan, is highly recommended. I will use this company in the very near future to enhance my existing gutter and install new ones."
"Tip top is an excellent company. I did not know there were still firms out there that took customer service as seriously as they do. They went above and beyond what most would have done to help me make my dream a reality. Their work was outstanding . They finished in two days and left my driveway as neat as they found it. I would highly recommend this company."
"This is a professional and convenient company. I couldnâ t have asked for a smoother experience. They did a free consultation for me and on the day of the installation they arrived on time. After the work was done, I could have feel the fresh cool air filling my house immediately. I will definitely go back to them for more essentials."
"My experience was fantastic with all the contractors and people from this company. Steve and Shannon were so receptive and on the ball as made sure that everything I needed, I got. The contractors were all very nice and made sure the house stayed clean and everything got done correctly and exactly how I wanted. We did a lot of things that were a bit unusual (a bookcase Murphy door, secret trap door in one room) and never had any complaints. They were a true pleasure to work with and I'll definitely use them again in the future. A+++ 5 big stars!"

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.
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.
Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.
Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.
