Always free estimates, as well as discounts for new customers and our veterans. Unfortunately I’m not doing Carpet! Thank you!
"Tomas restored my oak floors in my living room and hallway in June 2024. All I can say is that he did an amazing job on restoring my living room floors that were badly damaged and worn from my handicapped spouse's wheelchair. The finish was completely removed in many areas and we had some water damage that I thought for sure couldn't be restored. But he did it. He quoted 3 days and was finished in 3 days. My floors are absolutely beautiful. I never thought it possible. The only thing I would mention here, is about the finish after restoration. If you want a high shine on your floors, do not choose a satin finish as it has no gloss at all. I can live with the finish but next time I have them refinished, I will remember to choose a gloss finish. Still, I love my floors. Thank you Tomas for a job well done!"

"Taber Ross of 1st Affordable Handyman was contracted to install marble mosaic tile on 2 fireplace surrounds. He installed one product backwards with the plastic facing [used to hold the tile pattern together] directly on wet mortar. When questioned, he insisted it was correct, that he was the expert, and that the visible mesh and saw marks could be removed with a wet cloth. He refused to replace the cut and now useless tile, and wanted more money to fix the job. When we said no to those terms, he grew angry, called us scammers, and left while telling us that we had to pay the remaining 50% balance plus a 10% per day penalty. Neither fireplace surround was finished. Photos are a picture from the tile brochure showing how the polished side of the tile should look when installed properly. Three pictures of the 1st Affordable Handyman/Ross installation show the unpolished, saw-scarred, and mesh-backed tiles facing forward."

"Exceptional! We are beyond pleased with our hardwood floors. We just moved into a new house where half of the flooring was an orange-colored hardwood and the other half was carpet. Zoltan and his team came in and refinished the existing hardwood floors and perfectly matched and installed the rest of the first floor with hardwood. Now they are a beautiful espresso color. This was not an easy job and the team was able to do it seamlessly. Thank you to Cleveland Hardwood Flooring. Can't recommend enough!"

Yes, insulating an unfinished basement delivers meaningful benefits even if you don't plan to finish the space. Proper insulation reduces heat transfer through basement walls, which can account for up to 30% of a home's total energy loss.
This improvement enhances comfort throughout your home while potentially reducing energy costs. Insulation also helps manage moisture levels, protecting your home's structure and improving indoor air quality.
Rigid foam board and spray foam insulation provide superior moisture resistance for basement applications. These materials create effective vapor barriers while delivering high R-values per inch of thickness. Rigid foam boards resist water absorption and can withstand occasional dampness, while spray foam creates an airtight seal that blocks humidity infiltration.
For basements in humid climates or with moisture concerns, these options outperform fiberglass or wool alternatives.
Insulating basement walls provides the greatest benefit by reducing heat transfer through your foundation. This approach helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home and keeps floors above the basement warmer during cold weather.
Ceiling insulation might be appropriate if you specifically want to isolate the basement from living spaces above. In most cases, addressing the rim joists and exterior walls delivers the best performance for energy efficiency and moisture management.
Many building codes require vapor barriers when insulating below-grade spaces like basements. These barriers help control moisture migration through foundation walls and floors. Certain insulation types, including rigid foam and spray foam, provide inherent vapor barrier properties. When using fiberglass or wool insulation, a separate vapor barrier becomes necessary. Always check local building codes for specific requirements in your area.
Signs that basement insulation needs replacement include persistent cold spots, unexplained increases in energy bills, visible moisture damage, musty odors, or mold growth. Physical deterioration, such as compression, sagging, or discoloration, also indicates potential problems.
In older homes with outdated insulation materials, upgrading to modern options with higher R-values can significantly improve performance. When in doubt, professional inspection can help determine whether repair or replacement represents the best approach.
