"Please learn from our mistake and do not work with Westward Renovation. We selected them to construct an addition on our home. After we signed the contract and provided the deposit, the problems began. After lots of big promises and regular communication, the calls dropped off and the fact that there was no method to the madness became clear. Once construction began, they started deviating from the engineering plans with out engineer or county approval, they skipped required inspections, and the quality of the work of the subcontractor they selected for framing was just awful. When we raised concerns we were told to "trust the process." After their negligence resulted in rain leaking into our existing home not once but twice! we gave them 2 weeks to fix the myriad of issues that had arisen by that point. 2 weeks later we terminated our contract, with most of the issues still unresolved.

We are a Christian-based, American family owned and operated business. I started this company to specialize in outdoor shade. Our focus is on extending your living area to the outdoors area. We offer awnings ( stationery and motorized ) , patio covers, screen rooms, motorized and non-motorized shades and custom pergolas.
"The cover to our patio looks great, but ... to install the three posts. they needed to cut into the existing stone patio. After the cover was installed, they did an inadequate job replacing the stones around two of the three posts. I went to the office to pay for the work, told them of this problem, and they told me to send photos and they would get it addressed. I've sent photos (twice), but they have ignored my requests. Lesson learned: don't pay until you are completely satisfied."

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.
In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle.
If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.
Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items.
Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.
Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating.
Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.
Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
