No — those are larger structural and plumbing projects outside what we take on. We are glad to point you to a specialist, then handle the flooring, paint, and trim once the space is built.

Not until it is dry. We will tell you honestly to fix drainage and grading first; finishing over moisture just traps it and fails. Once dry, we handle the flooring and finishes.
