Basements Increase A Home’s Value

When families need more storage in their homes and extra space, many of them look downstairs for a solution…all the way downstairs into the basement. A basement remodel offers unlimited options for creating more living space in your home. Commonly thought of as a place for a game room, basements are now becoming so much more:

in-law suites
home offices
craft rooms
guest bedrooms
second kitchens
family rooms
“man caves”

If you’re considering transforming your basement into additional living quarters, be sure to address potential moisture and water issues before spending any time and money on remodeling work. Cracks in foundation, poor ventilation, and humidity can wreak havoc on a basement.

TIP: To find out if there’s a problem inside, go outside. Check your exterior walls for moisture problems, look for cracks in the foundation, clean out all of the downspouts and window wells (debris traps in moisture which can be drawn into the basement), and make sure the ground is sloped away from the house, preventing water from running into your foundation walls.

Finishing your basement not only makes better use out of your home’s square footage, the increased living space adds value to your home. This gives you an advantage over nearby homes built on a slab, or with just crawl spaces, or with an unfinished basement.

Excellent

Choice Windows, Doors & More, Inc.

My wife and I just had our front door replaced by Choice. The process of determining the door style, color, material, etc. was made simple and effective by Tim. His communication and follow up through the entire process was excellent. Install took only part of the day and couldn't have been handled any better. Our installer, Doug, was personable, hard working and clearly skilled in every aspect of removing our old door and installing the new one. We are thrilled with our new door and our experience with Choice. High Recommend!

Response from the owner:Thank you John for the review. We are happy to hear you had such a positive experience from start to finish!

We picked Choice over Window Nation for a couple of reasons. There was no pressure , was cheaper , and we already knew the quality of work they do, having used them before. Very Happy with the work done again. Awesome job, and even got my wife's approval on the clean up!! Which is saying something!!

Response from the owner:Thank for Brian for the review and choosing to work with us once again. We are very glad to hear we have met the high approval of your wife!

Just had 7 windows replaced in our sunroom. They did great work and got the job done quickly. The windows look great. Despite the rainy weather the last day, they kept everything neat and tidy and cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. Will definitely consider using them for future projects.

Response from the owner:Thank you James for the review. Weather can be unpredictable, but our team works to keep things clean and efficient not matter what. We look forward to working with you again.

A lovely showroom, I was greeted quickly and able to wander at my leisure. I have only heard good things about this company and followed the recommendation to check it out.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad to hear you had a positive experience in our showroom and felt comfortable exploring at your own pace. It means a lot to us that you followed a recommendation, and we’re pleased we lived up to it.
