Steps To Choose Your Basement Contractor — Home Wiz Guy
As you guys already know that I recently start working for basement contractor companies. So I decided to write an article on how to choose basement company. So here I will share few steps that you can follow.
When it comes to your basement you must need a professional to fix that. Trust me don’t go for any easy DIY solution to save money. This is not a joke. Only a professional basement contractor can ensure that your basement is in good condition or not. And here comes the bad part from your side. In this industry reputation is the key. You must need someone who know what exactly they are doing. A sealing job for your basement can run $10000 or more. So make sure that you spent your money wisely. To do this you can easily follow the following steps.
- Know Your Problem — You need to know what type of fixing your basement need. It may be a $500 fix or a $10000 fix. So if you are in doubt then you must ask for a free estimation first. Most of the basement contractors provide free estimation. When you get your estimation then decide what to do.
- Research Will Help — Before contacting with some company do some research. See how many companies in your area providing that solution that you need. What are their reputation for what they are doing. You must need to know if the company can keep your basement safe or not.
- Check Review — When you are researching for best basement contractor companies don’t forget to check their reviews. Higher rating companies are usually do great jobs. Also read the in-depth reviews from customers and try to get ideas how the company do their job.
- Check Licensing — It is important to check the company’s licensing. Don’t work with anyone who don’t have license to work and not registered with the state.
- Understand warranties — Consider only companies that back up their talk of quality with a guarantee that they can fix any issues.
I hope these steps will help you when you are choosing a basement contractor. Remember basement related works are not that much urgent than water or fire damage restoration work. So take your time to do the research and go with the best company that you choose.

New Assignment — Basement Contractors — Home Wiz Guy
Hey guys…..this is Home Wiz Guy with you and welcome to another article. Ass you guys already know in my blogs I tried to share what I am doing in this days and tried to share some knowledge about the Home & Garden Industry. And in this article I will share one of my recent assignments.
What is the new assignment?
Recently my company asked me to do some online marketing work for some of our very old basement contractor clients. Basically basement contractors are companies who work on your basement and fix all the basement related issues. A basement contractor company do various types of basement work like basement repair, basement waterproofing, basement construction etc. They also do crawlspace works like crawlspace waterproofing, crawlspace vapor barrier installation etc. But the companies I started working for, they don’t do any kind of basement construction work.
What I am doing for them
As I told you guys earlier that those companies are old clients of my agency, so we do lots of work for them in old days. We already do keyword research, keyword optimization, regular on-page optimization. We built citations for them as well. Most of the companies are 35+ years old so they have lots of positive customer reviews in different places. We collected them all too. So what is new I am doing? Now I am focusing on their social presence. By saying social presence I mean the activities on social media platforms, activities on premium directory listings, google my business posting and replying the comments. Also working on backlinks for their website.
So much work pressure
Hope you guys read my other article where I shared that I already start working for some home security sites and damage restoration sites, and now start working for basement sites. Too much work pressure for me. Don’t know how long I can handle the pressure but it is what it is. Have to work for them too. And to be honest I love my work. But sometime it really tedious for me.
Now it is time to share the companies that I am working. Over 10 sites I start working for and here is few of them.
Reed’s Waterproofing & Foundation Solutions — Basement Waterproofing in Kentucky & Crawl Space Encapsulation in the Lexington, Charleston & Georgetown Areas
Scaldino Basement Solutions — Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair in Central & Northern New Jersey & Staten Island, NY
Summit Environmental Solutions — Making Basements & Crawl Spaces Healthier in the Fairfax, Alexandria & Arlington, VA Areas

All the companies are more than 20 years old and well reputed in their local area. They are the customers No 1 choice for basement related work.
In my next article I will try to explain what I am really doing for them briefly. Stay tune and stay safe (from the corona virus obviously).
