"I thought I'd provide a 6-month update on the work performed by Coen. In short, we selected them to do some minor renovations to the bedroom and living room - ceiling repair and electrical work - and then paint the entire interior of the unit. It was horrible. We settled a reduced fee and went our separate ways. Since then, we've had to remove the work they did and repaint the entire hallway, bathroom, and kitchen due to paint peeling. Based on the prior experience and having visited during the renovation, they didn't prep a single thing - the walls definitely needed that even prior to other work starting. The new contractors very clearly were able to show how the surfaces weren't prepared at all for paint related to dust under all of the layers from the drywall and other construction work they did. Not a single apology or visit from the owners to date. Don't waste your time, money, or effort on this company whatsoever."

"This was our second project with Mason Works. Again, Bruno and his team did really high quality work. Our new front porch and walkway look great! Bruno was super responsive and easy to work with. They did come in with one of the pricier bids for the work, but I'd say it was all money well spent."

The timeline for raising a sunken living room varies depending on your specific project. Factors affecting the schedule include the size of the area, the complexity of the work, and whether you're installing new flooring throughout adjacent rooms. Your contractor will need to remove existing flooring, build up the sunken area, allow time for materials to set properly, and then install finished flooring. Be sure to discuss the expected timeline with your contractor during the planning phase.
Raising a sunken living room is a significant structural modification that should be done with proper engineering considerations. When performed correctly by qualified professionals, the project shouldn't negatively impact your home's structural integrity. However, improper installation could lead to issues like uneven floors or inadequate support. This is why hiring an experienced and licensed home remodeling contractor who understands the structural requirements and building codes for such modifications is recommended.
Yes, contractors can raise sunken living rooms with concrete slab foundations. The process involves pouring new concrete to fill the depression or building a wood-framed floor system over the existing slab. For a 400-square-foot room with a six-inch depression, filling with concrete would cost approximately $2,400 before adding finished flooring. The approach your contractor recommends will depend on your specific situation, including the height differential and your preferred finished floor type.
When raising a sunken living room, you'll need to consider how the new flooring will transition to adjacent areas. Your options include extending the new flooring throughout connected spaces for a seamless look, using transition strips between different flooring types, or selecting complementary materials that create an intentional design feature. Discuss these options with your flooring professional to determine the best approach for your home's specific layout and your aesthetic preferences.
