With over 40 years combined experience, we provide complete Basement remodeling and finishing services with Free estimates and no-nonsense pricing. We will give you the Basement you've always wanted by transforming your previously unfinished Basement into a usable and comfortable living area you can be proud of. We are known for constant communication and on-site project management.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Basic Companies to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial layout and permits to framing, electrical work, sheetrock, spackling, painting, and flooring, they handled every aspect of the project with utmost professionalism and expertise. Each team that came to our house was knowledgeable, hardworking, and incredibly professional. They were always responsive to our questions and ensured that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised time frame, and to our delight, it was actually finished much earlier than expected. Our family is thrilled with the final result. The finished basement has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to Basic Companies for their exceptional work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to handle their home improvement projects."

Plymouth Nursery & Landscape Co. provides design and build services for projects such as landscape, hardscape, lighting, irrigation, drainage , water features , outdoor kitchens, pavilions, porches and more. After your project has been completed we offer complete maintenance services to protect your investment.

"This is our 2nd time in a couple years we chose Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping for our contractor. They did our porch and walkway a couple years back and we were so impressed with the workmanship and the outcome of that project that when we decided to do our back patio I never considered another contractor. I called John and he came by to estimate the job and added a few ideas. His estimate came inline to what I expected. He worked with us throughout the project. These guys are very detailed and knowledgeable when it comes to stone work. Our home is an older stone house and they matched the stone perfectly. We had a 16’x22’ flagstone patio installed along with a walkway and three stone walls. It was a sizable project. His workers were amazing and very easy to work with. I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments we have received from our neighbors. We are extremely happy with the way it turned out. I will say these pictures don’t even begin to show how amazing this project turned out."

Second story addition building services FAQs

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
