My priority is a job well done, if I'm not certain I'm the right guy for the job I'll be honest with you up front. I'm prepared for a broad range of work but I don't claim to be a specialist in any areas. If you're looking to only hire a single contactor instead of a separate carpenter, drywaller, plumber, electrician, etc., I might be the right fit for your job. I'm up for a challenge if you have a creative or custom touch you would like to incorporate into your project, let's brainstorm how you'd like it and if I'm capable of bringing your idea to life. \n\n-Do you own a vacation home/cabin in the area that you would like renovated in the off season? \n-Are you ready to finish your basement into a man cave/playroom/extra bedrooms? \n-Does the wife have a big item on the honey-do list that you would really prefer not to DIY?\n Give me a call or shoot me an email, let's have a chat and I can take a look at it.\n\nThis is a one man operation. My experience starts with 5+ years throughout and after college in a modular home building plant. I used the opportunity to work on almost every crew in the facility, learning many of the skills and techniques required to build a house from start to finish. I worked my way up into the quality control office after learning all I could on the floor. When I moved to a quieter part of the state I started a business doing what I know, and I can do it at a competitively fair price since I'm the only employee.\n\n Are you ready to get your project "Right On The Money"?\n

"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!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.
