Our commitment

Your basement,scoped in writingbefore you sign.

A basement runs the same way as a kitchen or bath with us. A call, then a visit at the house, then a written scope after the visit. A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them.

Scope of Work

What we deliver

Your written scope lists what we do and don’t do, the materials, allowances, schedule and price.

Investment

In your written scope

Schedule

Set in your written scope

  1. 01

    Moisture First

    Basements get damp. What we see at the visit, and what it takes to fix it, goes in your written scope before anything gets finished.

  2. 02

    Framing and Insulation

    The walls, insulation and ceiling, with the materials listed in the scope.

  3. 03

    Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC

    Done by plumbers, electricians and HVAC techs, subcontractors we manage.

  4. 04

    Permits

    On your job, any permit the work needs is in place before that work starts, and it’s written into your scope.

  5. 05

    Floors, Drywall and Finish

    Flooring, drywall, trim, doors and lighting, with the materials and allowances listed before you sign.

  6. 06

    Changes

    If something changes, you get a written change order with the price before that work starts.

Why The Home X

One point of contact.
Scope and changes in writing.

01

Written scope after our visit

After our visit you get it in writing: what we do and don’t do, the materials, allowances, schedule and price. If it isn’t in the scope, it isn’t in the job.

02

A crew we manage

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. You have one point of contact.

03

Written change orders

If you change something, or we open a wall and find a problem, you get a written change order with the price. That work starts only after you sign it.

04

1-year workmanship warranty

Your contract carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, appliances and materials pass through to you.

How it runs

From first call to
final walk-through.

01

Discovery call

First

Call (609) 874-0990 or send the form. We talk about the room, your timeline and your budget, then come to the house, measure, and look at what it's hiding: framing, plumbing, the electrical panel.

02

Scope and design

After the visit

After the visit you get a written scope: what we do and don’t do, the materials, allowances, schedule and price. Anything you haven’t picked yet is carried as an allowance. You owe nothing until you sign.

03

Construction

On site

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. Any permit the work needs is in place before that work starts, and any change is a written change order you sign first.

04

Final walk-through

At the end

We walk every room we touched with you, write the punch list down and work through it. Your 1-year workmanship warranty is in your contract, and manufacturer warranties pass through to you.

Common Questions

Questions about
basement renovation.

What people ask us before they sign.

We only publish prices from jobs we’ve signed, and we don’t have a basement range to publish yet. Your number comes in a written scope after our visit, and you owe nothing until you sign.

Yes. We pull the permits the work needs, and the fee is in your scope. Any permit is in place before that work starts.

A crew we manage does the work; plumbing, electrical and HVAC work goes to subcontractors in those trades, and other specialty trades when a job needs them. You still deal with one company and one point of contact the whole way through.

You get a written change order with the price, and the extra work starts only after you sign it. That goes for changes you ask for and for problems we find once the walls or floors are open.

A 1-year workmanship warranty on our installation, written into your contract. Manufacturer warranties on the products themselves pass through to you.
