Do it yourself? Can you do it yourself? Maybe ... but should you? Think of your own profession. Could I come and do your job? Would I do it as good as you? There is a big difference in the level of finish between a handy homeowner and a professional contractor. We have the tools, skill, and experience. And, truthfully, do you have the extra time it requires to do the job right? Do you want to spend your precious free time working in your basement or enjoying your family, friends, and hobbies? It takes creative, experienced design and resourceful construction to turn a dark subterranean space into an inviting extension of your home. You’re running the risk of spending a good chunk of change, an enormous commitment of your time, and still being disappointed with the results. You risk not recouping the money you’ve invested when you do it yourself. Why? Because you are not a professional contractor, and your finish simply will not be as good as EBCON’s. (I can’t speak for other contractors, but we guarantee we will finish your basement to a higher level of skill than a layperson can do.) The Appraisal Institute reports “a basement finish equals a kitchen remodel as the best financial return of all home renovations, but only if the quality matches the rest of the house.” EBCON generally surpasses “the rest of the house.” No offense to homeowners or new home builders, but we pay great attention to detail and demand perfection from ourselves and our subs. Considering resale, an uninspired finished basement actually detracts from your home’s value. A potential buyer not only does not view it as valuable, but may actually plan on tearing it out and offer you less for your home. Emotions may get in the way. Imagine this ... you’re 20 straight weekends into the job, you haven’t seen any of your children’s ball games – you haven’t seen the light of day on a weekend in almost five months. You’re physically and mentally exhausted, you’re tired of trekking to Home Depot, and the money you’re spending is stressing you out. This isn’t the best state of mind to be in when you’re making serious decisions that may come back to haunt you. Do you know enough about moisture control to ensure your basement won’t (literally) stink when you’re done? How does your drywall finish look? A little wavy? Wait till the paint accentuates that. Are you second-guessing the way you handled boxing in the HVAC duct? Is this truly worth the money you “saved” by doing it yourself? EBCON Services is the hassle-free option. We WILL build you a beautiful basement, compliant with all Codes, and you will reap the benefits of choosing a competent contractor, adding value to your home, and making money back on your investment.  We guarantee it.
