"The company (Black Dog) was hired to expand the bathroom and part of the basement renovation. The project started in October 2020 and it is still going through May 2021 with an unclear restart date after 2 no shows. It was promised to finish by Christmas. The company used 2 different colors of grout in the same room. They are planning to come back and redo it, waiting for 2 months now. They do not want to spend time on fixes. Leakage around the shower was noted, they promised to contact the subcontractor, but I have not heard from them yet. There are minor things missing, would pay attention to their contract as they may not do things like shelves installation as originally discussed. They seemed professional on initial evaluation and at the beginning, but now I am regretting that I hired them."

"Patrick and his team did an amazing job of repainting the walls and ceilings of my rental unit between tenants. There was a quite a bit of replastering to repair holes from where things had been hung on the walls, but they still managed to get everything done well within the short timeframe that I had to work with. In addition to the painting, his team replaced cracked tiles on the kitchen floor. I was really nervous about the work getting done well and on time, because another contractor had told me it would take 3-4 days, and that the entire kitchen floor would have to be replaced. But on the weekend of the work, Patrick showed up on time, got everything done earlier than I had expected, and it looks fantastic! He made what was initially a really stressful project for me end up being really easy."

"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."

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.
