mightymoParticipantHello, folks. My wife and I need to finish up part of our basement and we’re having trouble figuring out how to get started. We envision putting up a wall or two, adding carpet or flooring, etc., but are fine with doing a lot of the finishing work ourselves. Does anyone have any recommendations on handypeople/contractors that could take a look at what we’re working with and help us get things going? I did a search of the forums but it’s hard to pinpoint specific types of jobs or sort by most recent.
Thanks in advance!

RaynorcustomMemberHi Mightymo,
My name is Chris Raynor. I’m a local contractor here in West Seattle. I’m fully licensed, insured and bonded. I’ve done lots of remodels for local folks such as yourself (mostly from the west seattle blog). I’d be happy to come by and take a look and give you a free estimate. I’ve got references available upon request and would really like to meet you.
Hope to hear from you soon!

2 Much WhineParticipantChris did a good job for us. There was some electrical, some plumbing, duct work and drywall work involved. I was able to save a few bucks by priming and painting myself. We heard about him on the blog and are happy with the results. Plus he’s a local guy and makes amazing cookies which makes it sound like I know him beyond a “contractor / customer” relationship but I don’t, he just happened to have a fresh batch of cookies that he shared with my family. I’d hire him again just to get another cookie.

daniellevenhuizenMemberWe are doing a basement remodel as well and I have a few contractors you should check out. We are using ACS Seattle (www.ACSseattle.com). We also really liked Better Builders (www.BetterBuilders.com). Both are local. Also, you might want to consider using an architect to help plan your space. We used Greg Maxwell (www.gpmarchitects.com) and he did an amazing job transforming our space into exactly what we were looking for. Good luck!

kootchmanMemberDo a calcium chloride test on walls and floors…. before ya start. Could save ya years and years of agony and thousands of dollars. You might have to design around those test results. Or use the newer ASTM F 2170 protocol. If your home is over 20 years old.. especially. It should be a “must do” on the basement remodel list.
