Ahhh yes… that same nagging question that haunts so many D.I.Y. homeowners “How do I frame around all the duct-work overhead in the basement?

Hello. I ordered your complete set of Basement Finishing Videos on 2/3/14 so let me begin by saying that I have watched almost all of your videos and can’t imagine doing my basement project without them. Prior to purchasing this video set I was buying as many books on the different basement topics as possible. The reason I was constantly buying different books and some multiples on the same topic was because none of them were ever 100% clear on the steps of doing things. Your videos solved that. Thank you very much. I have already begun recommending your videos to my friends.Thanks a bunch.
Thanks Eddie! I received the link and downloaded the videos. I found information on the videos to be clear, hands on, and very easy to understand. You’ve taken the mystery out of home improvement projects…thank you! My projects will now be a lot easier.
Wow! I just watched all your videos! You have an amazing concept here, letting people actually see and understand each step thoroughly. Everyone has a unique learning process. Personally, I need to be SHOWN how to do something, not just hearing words. I’m a visual learner, I’m sure a lot of folks out here feel the same way. For myself, I’d like to say thank you, thank you for your effort and time spent on helping people truly understand the names of fittings etc. again.. TY!
I wanted to start by saying your video’s are fantastic! People would foolish to not take advantage of the great value you’re providing. Prior to coming across your videos I had purchased a few books and consider them a total waste of money. Your videos are so much more comprehensive and you cannot beat the visual step-by-step instructions.”
I just wanted to write and say thank you for this step-by-step basement video series! This is the 2nd basement my wife and I have remodeled ourselves following your training videos. These videos are amazing! Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge. Your delivery of the information is well organized, thorough, to the point and easy to understand. My wife and I have finished our basement ourselves working just a few evenings during the week and on the weekends! I Never would we have been able to figure this out without your step-by-step video guidance.”
Eddie Thanks for your reply. I purchased your basement series and I like it a lot. I showed the wife and we both agree that we could do most of the work ourselves.
I hope you could do a video on trey ceilings.
Eddie, I am PhinZach54 from the youtube page. I bought the pro series on the 16th and was hoping to get the 2 new videos. I also was wondering when the wet bar video would be available for purchase. I love your videos and have really enjoyed the process. I appreciate your hard work. you do a great job. thanks so much.
What is the cost of a basement? Well, that depends on one major factor…are you doing the project price to finish a basementyourself, or are you hiring a basement contractor to do the project for you? The price range between the two options will range from $10.00 a sq. ft. upwards to $35-45.00 per sq ft.
The old question…”Do I need to get a building permit to finish my basement?” is a question I get a lot from my basement clients, and the answer to the question is YES if your city, town, municipality requires you to “pull” one. They always say “Pull a Permit” around my neck of the woods, although I’m not quite sure what we’re “pulling-on”? Anyways… that’s the answer to this mystery question.
The Basement Design…Hmmm…dream, dream, dream! The design possibilities are virtually endless for the unfinished basement. You probably have a good idea of what you would like to materialize down there in that now empty space, so now it’s time to put all those ideas together and create the basement Floor Plan. Check out the BASEMENT DESIGN section inside the MAIN STAGES drop-down menu at the top of this page for Basement Design help!
Before starting your finished basement project the very first issue you need to address is:
“Is my basement wet?” “Is my basement damp?” , or Is my basement “bone-dry”? If your answer is “bone -dry congratulations you can start construction immediately! If not you need to correct any water issues immediately before any work begins!
