Stillwater Renovation

Description of Work: Basement finishing/remodeling including framing, drywall, primer application, electrical, minor plumbing and custom wood/trim work. We elected to complete the painting and carpeting on our own. Our basement now includes two large finished rooms and three enclosed utility areas. We started with a fairly bare space, down to the waterproofed walls and concrete floor. Seven weeks later we had a gorgeous, spacious, custom family space. Ed s inspection and pre-project research resulted in an accurate price and schedule estimate. Change orders (and climbing project costs) were not a problem. A minor issue discovered as work progressed (a prior city code violation, electrical) was the only surprise that required a change order. Others resulted from upgrades that we initiated (plumbing for two new outdoor spigots, custom shelving/woodwork). In both cases, change orders were always discussed in detail, submitted in writing, fairly priced, and only added to the contract after we approved them.

Description of Work: STILLWATER INSTALLED A NEW DRYWALL CEILING OVER AN EXISTING PLASTER CEILING WHICH HAD BEEN WATER DAMAGED AND PARTIALLY TORN DOWN AS A RESULT OF PLUMBING WORK IN THE BATH DIRECTLY ABOVE MY KITCHEN. THIS JOB WAS A LITTLE TRICKY SINCE THE PLASTER HAD CRACKED AND SAGGED, AND THE LATHE HAD BEEN REPEATEDLY WATER SOAKED OVER THE YEARS. THE DRYWALL NEEDED TO BE SHIMMED AND LEVELED.
