We don't take any money up front. You don't write the first check until your basement is completely framed up. Also if you need financing we offer it through Day Air Credit Union unsecured up to $25,000. 3. We use fire blocking foam on our fire blocking seams even though code doesn't require it. We don't just want to slow the spread of fire, we would rather it get starved from oxygen and go out.
4. All the door casing trim and baseboard trim we use is made of actual wood not MDF, which is just compressed cardboard that will swell up and get destroyed with just a little contact with water. 7. We install nylon carpet which wears much longer than polyester and is softer than polyester. Also we install 8 lb pad not 6lb which is much more comfortable under the feet.

At Good Guy Home Improvements, it is our goal to provide you with a wide range of products to suit your every need. Our experienced staff is available to assist you in product selection and can help you with all aspects of your construction project. Whether you are a contractor, architect or homeowner, we are delighted to assist you in every way.
My name is Joe Taulbee and I am the owner of Good Guy Home Improvements LLC. When choosing a contractor make sure they are Accredited Better Business Bureau members, check out their complaint history, if they have a couple complaints it doesn't mean they aren't professional, just make sure they resolved the complaints.
If you aren't doing the job yourself, hire an experienced painting contractor to do the job. Now, just because the painting contractor is in the phone book or running an ad in your local paper or magazine, doesn't mean that he or she is experienced. Make sure they are an Accredited Better Business Bureau member so you can check their record, ask for at least three references and ask for their certificate of liability insurance.
Caulk around the outside of your windows if needed, make sure the temperature is above 45 degrees so the caulk will can set up. Buy a new more energy efficient furnace or water heater and get a $500 tax credit at tax time. Turn down your furnace thermostat in the winter, and up in the summer when the central air is on.
I (Joe Taulbee) started Good Guy Home Improvements over 11 years ago in April of 2006. There isn't much that I haven't done in that period of time but I have to say finishing basements is my favorite thing to do residentially. Estimates are free so if you are thinking of finishing your basement I would love to hear from you to set up a meeting to discuss your basement.

We reached out to Good Guy to finish our 500 square foot basement. Joe responded immediately and came out to see our space. He took some measurements and gave us a line by line estimate within 4 hours of the visit. We decided to go with Joe from Good Guy and we could not have made a better decision. Joe responded to all of our ideas and questions within minutes. When I had a question about details for the basement, he had already made a plan for it and it was dealt with quickly. His team was extremely professional and easy to work with. They left their work space clean after every day. Joe was

If you're looking for a company that is always on time, a great value, with high quality work with real Professionals then look no further! I had multiple contractors come to the house and Joe (the owner) was the only one that once i said we had a budget he didn't ask what the budget was. But Joe did suggest multiple ways to save money on our project. Then even without doing any scrimping his price was by far more competitive than any other contractor. I Highly recommend GG Home Improvement to anyone looking to have there basement updated or finished!

We used Joe and his team to finish an office space for my husband down in our basement. Joe was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. Every single team member showed up on-time and let us know what was happening every step of the way. The workers were respectful and courteous and they even politely answered my kids' hundred questions about the equipment and what they were using it for. :)
Our basement office looks great and everything was seamless! We look forward to using Joe again for future home projects.

After speaking with 5 different basement remodeling contractors, I couldn't have been more pleased with my decision to go with Good Guy Home Improvements. Their straight forward, honest approach in terms of pricing, scheduling, and work products were all top notch.
I contracted with them for a complete basement finishing job (1,000 sq. ft. to include a full bathroom). Given the COVID environment I work from a home office...so I was able to see everything they did, as they did it. Complete quality from start to finish. Not only did they complete the project according to my initial vision, they

Joe and Brian at Good Guy Home Improvements are fantastic. After getting multiple quotes, we decided on going with Good Guy based on the reasonable and realistic quote. Other companies tried to sell more and gave ridiculous quotes. One company quoted us 50K without taking one measurement. Knowing the general cost of what it takes to do the work, these guys were very reasonable. Joe gave me a line item quote as I was deciding which aspects I wanted to do myself, and what I wanted them to do. They were not pushy about anything! They are always to work on time, respectful, and very communicative throughout

Brian and his team did a fantastic basement flooring job for me! From the initial contact all the way through project completion they were responsive, price competitive, on-time, and professional. I will be quick to recommend them to friends and family, and for sure reach out to them for my next project(s).
