Q: What should I consider when designing a bar in my basement?

• <div><p>Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:</p><ul><li><p>Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?</p></li><li><p>What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?</p></li><li><p>Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?</p></li><li><p>Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?</p></li><li><p>Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do general contractors require a down payment and what is the typical payment schedule?

• <div><p>Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a joist and a beam in a basement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/joist-vs-beam.htm">Joists and beams</a> 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.</p></div>

Q: Can I add a door to my basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a door to your basement&mdash;it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you&rsquo;re using the basement as a bedroom. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">basement contractor</a> can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.</p></div>

Q: How do I save money on basement remodeling costs?

• <div><p>Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger.

"Two of them came out. There was a long list and we were happy to pay more, but I was not pleased when I got home. I wanted the caulking in the shower redone and they did not get to that. There is a gate in a storage thing out in the side yard and the door needed patching. I just did not like coming home. I felt like they rushed and just did not get it all done or even attempted to get it done. The price was not the issue. I just wanted those things done. With two of them here, I felt like they could have done more."

"Recommended 21 piers to repair our foundation. We have 2 other companies out for quotes. Neither recommended that many piers..one other company even said we did not need any foundation repair. This conservative recommendation was confirmed by a structural engineer. We were disappointed with Real Deal Enterprises recommendations and would not have chosen to do the work with them even if it was deemed necessary. Also, we did not receive any recommendations/watering plan as was advertised with the deal.

"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 job went very well and I would use them again and recommend them to friends. They were on time every day and very respectful to our schedule and ongoing family activities. They set up a barrier in the basement to contain the dust and removed all of the trash without leaving a mess. Very happy with the results, the new dry wall blends right in with the previous and the trim was also matched."

"Brain responded quickly to my voicemail, asked specific questions about my needs and gave me an estimate over the phone. I had to reschedule our appointment and he easily accommodated the change. He was able to "find" power (the builder had not done this) and wired an outlet above the fireplace. He hung the television/ sound bar etc and concealed everything. He made sure the TV, sound etc were all working correctly... and even painted over nail heads and vacuumed the dust mess.
He probably save me $200-300 over what the Best Buy Geek Squad had quoted ($300 plus get an electrician to get power).
He was very pleasant and a true professional.
I would not hesitate to use BDS Communications again in the future.
