My husband and I are wanting to build a new home and we just moved to Texas and can’t find a basement company listed. How do we find a company that will educate us on how it is done?

One might believe the first place to look would be basement contractors. The largest list you will find will be called basement contractors. Once you begin calling them you will quickly discover they know very little about basements in particular. In Texas and Oklahoma, basement contractors are remodelers. What’s strange is listing them in this category, but they will all tell you if you have one they can help you finish it. Remodelers feel that framing a basement is like framing any other part of the home, but it is not.  Before you finish out a basement you have to fix cracks, stop leaks, and install devices which circulate the basement air. A basement professional will take care of radon gas, moisture, and clean the air with one unit. The basement contractor’s list in reality is full of plumbers, electricians, framers, builders, and concrete people. The last thing they are is someone who designs, engineers, and builds basements that will not leak. So if you’re looking for a basement builder, just simply look up basement builders in Texas. You will find a few across the states of Texas and Oklahoma.
