"I had an old, massive chimney built years ago with the wrong brick, it was crumbling off my house. Most chimney repair contractors were quoting me upwards of 30, 40, 50k. Justin worked with me to find a solution which would cost me less than half of that and still ensure the longevity and safety of my chimney/house. It took a while to get done, we had to wait for the right weather but the outcome was fantastic and working with Justin was an easy, smooth and enjoyable process."

"I can?t imagine how everyone here is saying that they listen. This was absolutely to our experience. On any given day we never knew who was going to show up and what work was being done even thought we multiple times said that the bathroom was the priority they kept working on the secondary project which was our basement. They damaged our sink counter top, screwed right through the bathroom wall and into our living room and stained the floor with completely mismatched stain. I would. It recommend for renovation work. They also left behind a large pile of debris we had to dispose of."

"Nick was extremely busy but took time to come introduce himself and look at the job. He replaced some rotting boards on the house and around our woodstove pipe. He did excellent work and came when he said he would be there. I will recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a builder."

"Jason did an excellent job shoring up our basement. He was a professional with an excellent work ethic. His work was exactly as explained, neat and clean. Jason was respectful of our space. He offered suggestions to improve gutters to direct water away from the house And he is dog friendly I would highly recommend Jason Blanchard."

"We have used Prop Ready for several big projects so far and will continue to use them. They have remodeled our basement, remodeled and replaced our front porch, back deck and pool fencing, and they built us a custom outdoor swing using an old ski chair lift that we had. All of these projects came out beautifully and the people of Prop Ready are professional, helpful, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with."

"We had an idea of what we wanted but had no real design. They took us thru every aspect of design and required materials to bring it to life. They presented a design with several options. We decided to go with theirs. So happy we did! Project turned out great and came in on time and in budget!"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.
