"I recently had my crawl space encapsulated by Peter (Gilman Restoration), and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the very start, Peter’s customer service was amazing—he was friendly, professional, and really took the time to explain everything to me. The work itself was top-notch. You can tell he takes pride in what he does because everything was done with care and attention to detail. Plus, the whole project was finished on time, which I really appreciated.

Flaker Flooring is a family run business that provides quality install with respect to a customers home and a keen eye for detail. 25 years of experience gives Flaker Flooring the confidence to help a home owner reach their goals with flooring upgrades to their home... We take pride in our work and would love the chance to work in your home. "We got you covered..."Our company also provides Plumbing, electrical, and painting services.
"If you are reading this review, I wish I could speak to you face to face and tell you (implore you) not to use Flaker Flooring for services. We hired them to install laminate hardwood flooring in our small condo in Keowee Key. We hired them based on decent prices and decent reviews. There were issues with timing and punctuality. The price was increased twice due to needing to to extra work to level (which we agreed to with no issue). Once the work was "complete" there were issues. There were missing transition pieces, missing pieces near the sliding glass door, missing quarter round in areas, and BUBBLING in the flooring. We adressed our concerns and transition pieces and quarter round were added. Upon final inspection the cuts to the wood, around corners, vents, etc were rough. There were gaps at corners that the quarter round didn't cover and there were bubbles/humps throughout the flooring. Never have I seen floors that are not flat. We were told by the contractor that there was nothing he could do and the floors would settle. These were there upon installation. Well, about 6 months later, the bubbles have become large hills in the flooring, and the floor is rising to the point where doors no longer shut because they scrape the flooring. When we called the contractor back out, he said he had no idea why that was happening and wasn't sure how to fix it. We had a reputable flooring contractor come out and inspect the floors. He said that without a doubt, this was an install error. The floors were installed way too tight. There is supposed to be space where the floor meets the wall. This is what the quarter round is there to cover. There was no space. The subfloor also had issues that we were never made aware of. The new contractor stated Flaker Flooring should have never placed floors without replacing the subfloor. There were no temperature or moisture issues present. Again, we never heard a word about it. We paid $7k to have the flooring replaced (as it was unusable) and the work redone. We have asked Flaker Flooring to simply refund their work, and they have yet to. The bottom line is: if you are looking for quality work and a contractor that has integrity and will stand by their work (especially if they make errors)... look elsewhere, and be sure their work comes with a warranty. Please don't trust the other reviews as we did. Please do not use this contractor. You will likely have to have the work redone."

"I had water damage from a loose sump pump value during President's Day weekend. They responded expeditiously and a crew was in my house within the hour. However some of the work completed was unnecessary and really expensive. I asked ahead of time to be provided with an estimate and they didn't comply. My basement includes a living room, and 1 bedroom. The water damage was located in one area yet they removed ALL doors, 10 to be exact, 2 feet of drywall, baseboards, carpet, and a porcelain sink! The doors didn't withstand water damage yet they were removed. When I asked the technician about the door and sink removal his response was, "the insurance will pay for the replacement." They charged my insurance 16,000 dollars! Please don't go with this company unless they provide you with a quote before they start the work. "

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.
The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
