Remodeling in Hoover, AL
A lot of Hoover went up from the eighties onward, which means a great many houses are now at the age where the original kitchen, the original baths and the original deck have all reached the end of their useful life at roughly the same time. Nothing is wrong with the house. It is simply due.
That is a different job from restoring something historic. Here the work is about updating a sound house efficiently: opening the kitchen, redoing the baths, finishing the basement that was left unfinished, and replacing the deck that has been patched twice already.
We reply the same business day.
Whatever the room, the same crew and the same fixed written price.
Across a large city and the neighbourhoods within it.
Unfinished Basements
Plenty of Hoover houses were sold with the basement left as bare block, a slab and floor joists overhead. The builder did that on purpose, and it means you already own the most expensive parts of a room: the foundation under it and the roof over it.
Finishing it is almost always cheaper per square foot than adding on. The conditions are that it has to be dry first, the head height has to be real once ducts and beams are accounted for, and any bedroom down there needs a proper means of escape. We check all three and price what we find.
Decks and Porches
A deck built with the house in the nineties has usually had boards replaced, a railing tightened and a coat of something applied. What has not been looked at is the part that matters: the footings under it and the ledger fastening it to the house.
Improperly attached or unflashed ledgers are the most common cause of deck failures, and the failure mode is the whole structure coming away from the wall. When we replace a deck, that connection is the first thing we get right, and we will tell you honestly whether the existing frame is worth keeping.
One visit, one written price, no pressure and no charge. Tell us what room is bothering you and we will come look at it.
