"My wife and I had a good feeling and Ken and his crew right from the start. I was very worried about how big of a project my issue would become. He set me at ease right away and knew exactly how to address the issue. He also pointed out the specific cause of the water penetration and many other locations where I was in danger of having similar issues. Many of the smaller issues he basically rolled into the project for free. I felt even better about everything once he was into the project, so I went ahead and gave him the green light to address a long list of nice to haves" around the property. That led to him finding some additional major issues, but got them sorted at very reasonable rates. I was a full time property manager for 5 years by profession and now have had rentals of my own for 10 years. Ken is exactly the kind of crew I want working on my properties. I can trust that he's going to get it done without pulling a fast one on me or overselling me on things I don't need. He has his own rentals and I really felt we were on the same wavelength as far as the level of budget to quality ratio that I was looking for. A few minor mistakes were made by his crew but they took responsibility and in the end he made everything right. His crew were great guys too. My wife and I felt very comfortable having them working on the house. 5/5 recommend."

"The work was completed. He located the blockage in the pipe and in the process replaced the sink, faucet and disposal. It took 3 visits and significantly more money than the purchased coupon and estimated amount. I believe he was competent however, Rene, the plumber brought absolutely no equipment and few tools with him. I was paying him by the hour and he made 3 visits to Home Depot to buy tools and parts (common pvc pipe) all of which was "on the clock". He also charged me for everything he purchased including a snake that he needed in order to locate the clog in the drain. Am I wrong to expect that a plumber would have a snake? He didn't use all of the parts he purchased and gave them to me telling me that I could return them to Home Depot. However, because he used a debit card and I didn't want the money returned to that debit card, Home Depot didn't want to do the return - they did however, end up giving me store credit. He did not come at the times he said he would. He ended up doing the work very late in the afternoon stretching into the night. He left at midnight on one of the visits. I think because of the coupon they offered they have more business than they can actually handle. I chose them because their quote was cheaper than the other plumbers I called and they were offering a coupon $129 for 2 hours of work. However, in the end it cost me more than what the other plumbers quoted and I felt like I paid for a lot of time for him to run to Home Depot. I do believe he did a good job in installing the sink, faucet and disposal and he did locate the blockage using a much larger snake which was underneath the foundation floor."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

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.

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.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.
