Too many times during home remodeling projects, homeowners are left in the dark or are frustrated by the process. We take pride in our work and oversee every aspect of your project. We ensure that every employee who enters your space will conduct themselves with professionalism, courtesy, and the utmost respect for your home. Why Us We take care of all aspects of home remodeling with an emphasis in finishing basements. Whether we're working on your basement, bathroom, kitchen, or sun room, you can be sure you will be thrilled with your new space. We handle the coordination of demolition work, framing, electrical work, plumbing, insulation, drywall, taping or compounding, trim installation, windows, doors, painting, and more. DEMOLITION: Let us take care of tearing down that old wall, those bookcases, a fence, or your entire kitchen. Whatever your needs, we would be happy to help. FRAMING: We can frame most home improvement projects within 1-5 days, depending on the size and scope of the work. We use 25 gauge commercial-grade steel for most projects. ELECTRICAL WORK: Our electricians will complete the rough electrical work within approximately 1-2 days. They will be back after the drywall has been installed in order to finish up their portion of the project. We can help you with recessed lighting, wet bar hookups, dedicated lines for appliances, cable TV line, phone lines, home theater systems, and more. PLUMBING: Our plumbers will complete their rough plumbing work within 1-2 days. If installing a bathroom, it is necessary to have the shower on site before the first day of their work. The plumber will return to install the remaining fixtures typically after the drywall is complete. INSULATION: Insulation is generally the quickest part of a home remodeling project. We can typically complete the insulation within a few hours. We use R11 steel framing faced insulation. DRYWALL AND COMPOUNDING: Many homeowners attempt this part of their projects themselves only to realize they must tear it down and start over. It can be an expensive and time consuming lesson to learn. Hanging drywall and taping (or compounding) truly is an art form best left to professionals. WINDOWS, DOORS AND TRIM: After the drywall has been hung and taped, it is time for the installation of windows, doors, and trim. Let us help you select the perfect "accessories" to highlight your new space! PAINT: Nothing can ruin a perfect home remodeling project like a bad paint job. Let us worry about the painting so you don't have to. FLOORING: There are so many options for flooring in your basement. Take your pick between carpet, laminate, ceramic tile or hardwood flooring. We can help you select what's best for your space.
