We will walk listeners through the process of adding space to their homes. Many people are wondering, "should I stay or should I go?" and part of the question comes from not having enough space in the existing home, therefore creating the need to move or "create space" and stay. "Is it possible for me to add on to my home?" is a common question we will receive. Some existing home lots are very small or poorly shaped for optimal expansion and the general public has no idea how to find out if they could create more space, even if they had the money! We will walk you through the process, from calling the City/County about your lot, selecting a contractor, to drawing plans.

Basements and crawlspaces leak with regularity, therefore, we will discuss new construction codes, methods of waterproofing, and proper drainage. For existing basements and crawlspaces, we will explain why they leak, problems caused from leakage and water, structure and health, problems with water vapor, and how to guarantee repair.
