  • How long does a typical basement remodel take?

    The duration of a typical basement remodel generally ranges from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the extent of the finishing work required.
  • Is it possible to have a flat transition into a shower on a main level?

    Yes, it's entirely possible. We employ various techniques to recess the shower pan into the floor, creating a zero-barrier entry for seamless access.
  • What's the best flooring to use in a bathroom for waterproofing?

    Tile is often the optimal choice for bathroom flooring. We utilize modern products and methods to create a waterproof surface throughout the entire bathroom. We can even waterproof the entire room by sealing the walls to the floor, effectively creating a watertight space.
  • Is there a specific kind of tile that should be used for a bathroom floor if you're worried about falls?

    For slip-resistant bathroom flooring, we recommend tiles with a specific coefficient of friction. This ensures the surface maintains its grip even when wet, reducing the risk of falls.
  • What type of flooring should I use in my basement?

    The ideal basement flooring depends on your foundation's drainage and the moisture content of your basement floor. In our area, we commonly use sheet vinyl, vinyl plank, floating floor, or carpet, based on the specific environmental conditions.
  • Can you drywall the basement ceiling since all of the wiring and plumbing are in the floor joist?

    We primarily use drywall for basement ceilings. This approach helps integrate the space with the main level and creates a more conventional living area ambiance. If access is needed for repairs, creating and fixing a small hole in the drywall is a straightforward process.
  • What what type of paint should I use on my walls?

    For most areas, we recommend a high-quality flat paint. However, in bathrooms or areas prone to moisture, we suggest using at least an eggshell finish as it's better equipped to handle humidity compared to flat paint.
