Not all waterproofing companies are created equal. We encourage people to thoroughly check the company's background before signing anything. And get estimates from more than one company. Here are some things that you should look for when getting an estimate: A trustworthy waterproofing company will not, and I repeat, will not: - Use questionable sales tactics (such as asking for a higher price and then give you an overly "generous" discount, but "only if you sign the contract right now". Beware of this type of company. Chances are that they know they will not be the contractor of choice, should you decide to get estimates from some of their competitors. - Misrepresent the urgency of the repairs to be performed or use scare tactics such as the "toxic mold" or "your basement is going to kill you" speech. A good contractor will be clear about the products and services you are purchasing and will propose solutions based on your budget and the things you want accomplished. You will know exactly what you are getting, why those products are necessary and what to expect as a result. You will be given a complete written proposal, detailing every product and service that will be performed, as well services that will need to be performed by other contractors at homeowner's expense (i.e. a dedicated circuit for dehumidifiers, pumps, etc...) When the salesperson leaves, you should be comfortable with every aspect of the deal. You will not be "sold" anything. You will feel as an educated consumer making an informed decision about your own waterproofing needs. You will also have a way to contact the salesperson at any time if you have any doubts. A trustworthy contractor will have an excellent reputation in the service area, excellent references from customers (ask for them and actually check), good BBB reputation. Good waterproofing companies are usually in business for many years or are backed up by a reputable network that will honor the warranty given in products and services over the years. Yes, such companies do exist. If the waterproofing company you are planning to hire didn't offer ALL of the above, you should really look further and get more estimates. In addition, if you did sign a contract that you feel that you were pushed into signing due to questionable sales tactics, the Federal Trade Commission issued the "Cooling-off rule", made into law in every state, which allows homeowners to change their minds when they purchase something from a salesperson outside the company's place of business. Designed to protect consumers from aggressive door-to-door sales tactics, the law gives you around 3 days to change your mind and cancel the deal, being entitled to a full refund and no penalties or cancellation fees

This is the other side of the basement. That wood will be a window and that's the side id like to have a fake brick wall with a bar. Please any pics and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!! ❤️

Our basement is finished and similar sized at 1100 square feet. We have a 26 foot bar in our basement with 13 bar stools. Similar walk behind design. One full size refrigerator, one commercial beer fridge, one wine refrigerator, two tvs, led undercabinet and top of bar lighthing (we change the led colors depending on the season / occasion) and led lit step bottle display with a mirror as the center focal point, also a full size dishwasher (a must!) and sink. The focal point of the bar is the mirror and lit step bottle display in the center with the two flat screens set in cabinetry on either side. We entertain frequently and use it all the time!

I don't understand the island, dining room table and bar - are any of these built in? If the entertainment center is built in where you show it- you will need chairs to face it. You can have some conversation chairs facing the couch but day to day it will need to be where you have it.
