At NIX 1 Construction LLC, we take pride in our work no matter how small or big the project. From a residential remodel to a commercial build out, we can make your vision a reality.

"Nix 1 did an amazing job with enclosing my patio and now I have a sunroom that will serve as an office space that I have needed for quite some time now. They truly turned my dream into a reality that far exceeded my expectations. I was amazed at how efficient and professional they were, as well as organized, thorough, and detail oriented. The quality of their work was exceptional and I couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. In fact, my neighbors (who watched them work from the side lines) have been equally impressed and haven’t stopped commenting on the quality of their work and how nice my new addition looks. I would highly recommend Nix 1 Construction to anyone and without a doubt would hire them again should I have another need in the future."

Engineer structurals FAQs

The timeline for basement ceiling modifications spans four to 12 weeks, with the specific duration depending on your chosen method and project complexity. Floor-lowering projects often require more time due to careful excavation and foundation reinforcement processes. 

Weather conditions, permit processing, and unexpected structural discoveries can extend the projected timeline. Most homeowners should prepare for some disruption to normal household activities during critical construction phases.

Converting previously unusable basement space into a functional living area often increases your home's assessed value, which may impact property tax obligations. Tax assessment practices vary significantly between municipalities, with some jurisdictions basing calculations on finished square footage. 

To avoid surprises, contact your local tax assessment office before beginning construction to understand potential tax implications and budget accordingly for any anticipated increases.

Engaging a qualified structural engineer represents an essential first step for any basement ceiling project. These professionals evaluate foundation integrity, soil conditions, and load-bearing requirements to determine feasibility and recommend appropriate approaches. 

Their expertise helps prevent potentially catastrophic structural issues while ensuring compliance with building codes. Although this consultation adds to initial expenses, it provides crucial guidance that may prevent costly mistakes or safety hazards.

Historic or aging properties present unique challenges when modifying basement ceiling heights. Older construction methods, outdated materials, and accumulated settlement issues require specialized assessment. Heritage designations may impose additional restrictions or requirements on modification approaches. 

House-raising often provides advantages for older homes with compromised foundations, as it allows simultaneous foundation repair or replacement during the ceiling height modification process.

While professional contractors must handle all structural modifications, homeowners with appropriate skills may complete certain finishing aspects independently. Tasks potentially suitable for DIY include non-structural elements like painting, trim installation, or basic finishing work. 

However, all excavation, foundation modification, and house-lifting operations require specialized equipment and expertise. Attempting structural work without proper qualifications creates significant safety risks and potential property damage.
