"Cris and his team are incredible. They are so talented and were so helpful in the creation of our basement. Cris built a beautiful kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and laundry room. It’s so much more than what I thought it could ever be! When I walk through the space now, I’m so thankful for his extensive knowledge and commitment to excellence. The space was created for my elderly parents and they are so calm, peaceful, and happy in the space. Cris is exceptional. He has a zillion years of experience and he and his team are extremely talented. Others have come to the house to see his craftsmanship and they are overjoyed. One couple said, “he has got to do our house:” I am thankful for finding him. I will use him for every project I will do in the house. Amazing work."

Call us today, we look forward to speaking with you (301) 570-8041 or (410) 489-6004! (Please note that we only do complete remodels and not single item projects).
"I selected Armour over other contractors bids for my basement remodel and I am very happy that chose them. During the bidding process they answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, their proposal was thorough and clear, and they were happy to discuss my ideas, thoughts and concerns. The crew that did the work was fantastic. Those guys are pros. The scope of work included all new framing and drywall (up to code, unlike before they came in), replacing that damn stucco ceiling with new drywall, upgrading the bathroom and kitchenette, new flooring, new basement door and replacing the ancient basement window, plus upgrades to the interior basement stairs and bathroom exhaust fans. Everything passed inspection and I am a happy customer. I would hire Armour again in a heartbeat. Many thanks to Rob, Christina, Rudolfo and everyone who worked on the project."

Pre-made bars cost $1,200 to $6,500, while custom bars range from $2,000 to $22,500, depending on features. For basic needs, pre-fabricated options are more economical and offer quicker installation. Custom bars cost more but provide exact specifications and potentially higher quality. The simplest and most affordable options are freestanding bar cabinets and bar carts.
A good basement bar size depends on your available space and entertaining needs. Most residential bars range from six to 12 feet in length. Standard bar height is 42 inches, while counter-height bars (36 inches) are more family-friendly. Allow 24 to 30 inches of width per person for comfortable seating and at least 36 to 42 inches of clearance behind the bar for movement. For entertaining, an eight to 10-foot bar comfortably seats three to four people.
Permit requirements vary by location, but generally include building permits for structural changes, plumbing permits for wet bars, and electrical permits for new circuits or significant wiring work. Some municipalities also require inspections during and after construction. Check with your local building department before starting your project, as skipping required permits can lead to complications when selling your home and may void insurance coverage if issues arise later.
