"Pavel and Lucas were great to work with. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and the clean up alone was worth a 5 star review. The quality of their work was first rate and we are extremely pleased with the results. This was not a big project, and we appreciated Pavel fitting us in to his very busy schedule. We highly recommend him!"

"Terrible. He broke a valve resulting in a flooded bathroom floor and left an open, leaking pipe that dripped into the basement through an open hole. My family is still without a toilet in that bathroom. The shower basin was the wrong size, so he was going to cut studs near electrical wiring to make it fit. I said that I wanted a Toto toilet. He bought a cheap brand for $150, a brand I have never heard of. We found the receipt in the bathroom. He had many reasons as to why he kept getting detained, one because he said he needed more money. The contract stated 50 percent at signing, another 25 percent upon completion of demo, and the final 25 percent on project completion. I paid him $4,550 on 12/4/2024, CASH. I paid another $1,500 on 12/21/2024 CASH, and $766 on 1/17/2025 CASH. He refused to work unless I paid him on 12/21/2024 because he said he had completed the bathroom demo, and according to the contract, $2,275 was required at completion of bathroom gutting, but the gutting was incomplete with mounds of insulation on the floor and the dumpster was still in our driveway. Even after I explained that the gutting was not complete until all debris was removed and the dumpster was gone, I still paid him, but I did this because he refused to work without this payment. When he began working again, contract specifications were not met. He continued not to show up for work, each time with an excuse, sick children, sick wife, car broke down, etc. I have never heard of a contractor who did not own a truck, but he did not. There were many warning signals, no business cards etc., but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he had two young children. The contract was signed 12/4/2024 and I terminated his services on 2/11/2025, after 3 months without a toilet, shower, sink, etc. He was angry and threatened to sue me for breach of contract, but the more chances I gave him, the more I realized he had no clue what he was doing. Per your rating below, please clarify your scale, is 1 the best and 5 the worst? I can’t provide a rating with a clear understanding of your rating system. In the end, all he completed was the bathroom demolition. I can live with him keeping $1500 for that, even though it could have been done for much less. I would like a refund of $4,550 as he didn’t complete any work other than the demo and didn’t purchase materials that fit our bathroom requirements. Note: he is going to contest that he did spend money on supplies such as bathroom pipe pieces, toilet, shower enclosure, even though they were the wrong size. He took them from our work site. I pulled thousands of dollars from my retirement account, money that I believed would have resulted in a nice bathroom. My family has endured hardship without the bathroom, and I have been dealing with tremendous stress as a result. It is also taking me extra time to prepare this document for you, time that I need for more important priorities such as my health."

Basement remodelings FAQs

While building a wine cellar requires a significant investment, it can increase your home's resale value over time. Although you might not see an immediate return, the long-term ROI benefits can be substantial. Because they're often built in areas that would otherwise be unused, wine caves can add to your home's resale value. Storing a bottle of wine in a controlled environment for five years can increase its value. Once you build the space, you can strategically buy an increasing number of vintages as an investment that pays off down the road.

A wine cellar doesn't need to be underground; you can build it in any suitable area of your home. An above-ground cellar offers easy access and integration with your living spaces, while an underground cellar provides stable climate conditions and energy efficiency. Proper insulation and climate control ensure your wine maintains optimal conditions in any location.

Yes, wine cellars need ventilation to ensure optimal air circulation and precise climate control. A proper system regulates temperature and humidity, preserving your wine collection's quality. Good ventilation prevents air stagnation and moisture buildup, keeping your wine in ideal conditions. Without adequate airflow, mold and mildew can develop, potentially damaging labels and corks. Ventilation systems also help eliminate hot spots that could prematurely age your wines.

Yes, any home can have a wine cellar installed if the space is properly prepared. A dedicated area with a solid foundation, proper insulation, and reliable climate control—whether in a basement, walk-in closet, or converted crawl space—can support a wine cellar. This flexibility allows you to enjoy optimal wine storage in any type of home.
