If you want headache then definitely hire them. First of all they show up late and the guy and an attitude of I don’t want to work in this hot weather I hate this job vibe…. Then he never finish the job properly and left with small leaks. I ask him why he just told me he needs to grab something from his truck then never comes back..call the office and they told me the job is completed… do yourself a favor and avoid them at all cost.

They did an unfinished job at Albertsons (Lincoln/Van Buren) the whole store smells like sewer. I have been a patron for 20 years at that store. Air quality sample would show coliform bacteria and protozoan diseases... how dare you treat this chain of food store like this. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I was rear ended today waiting at a red light. The guy had admitted he was looking at his phone when he rear ended me. We pulled over to look at damages and he had a big vape in his hand and two knifes on his side. Drivers at this company are not cautious of other vehicles on the road.

Signs You Need Basement Finishing

Recognize these opportunities where basement finishing can transform unused space into valuable living areas:

Unused Storage Space

Basements used only for storage represent wasted square meters that basement finishing can transform into functional living areas worth thousands more than storage.

Growing Family Space Needs

Families outgrowing their homes benefit from basement finishing that creates bedrooms, playrooms, offices, or entertainment areas without expensive home additions.

Home Office Requirements

Remote work and business needs require quiet, private spaces that basement finishing can provide away from household distractions and noise.

Rental Income Opportunities

Basement finishing creates separate living units that generate rental income and help offset mortgage payments while increasing property value significantly.

Entertainment and Recreation Needs

Families wanting dedicated spaces for movies, games, exercise, or hobbies find basement finishing provides perfect solutions for recreation areas.

Guest Accommodation Requirements

Basement finishing creates comfortable guest bedrooms and bathrooms that provide privacy and convenience for visiting family and friends.

Property Value Enhancement Goals

Finished basements add significant property value and make homes more attractive to potential buyers in competitive real estate markets.

Climate Control and Comfort Issues

Unfinished basements often feel cold, damp, and uninviting, but professional finishing creates comfortable, climate-controlled living spaces.
