"Couldn’t have been better. Definitely had challenges with Covid/Supply Chain issues which lengthened the time of the remodel, but none of it was Mark, the builder’s fault. In fact, I don’t know of anyone other than Mark Goodson who could have handled the obstacles more professionally! As for the remodel itself, it turned out absolutely beautiful! Before the build began, I thought it hyperbole when Mark said that the finished basement will be the feature that will sell my home in the future. I can honestly say he wasn’t exaggerating one bit! His design for our new home ( my wife and I moved downstairs and the kids and grandkids moved upstairs) was way beyond what my wife and I could have imagined; and it was certainly much better than the other two estimates I got in the beginning. First, Mark refused to put in a dropped ceiling which would have close in the living space. Instead, he redid the duct work so that he could do tray ceilings in every room giving the basement a larger look! Finally, he took out an entire wall thus opening up what would be our living and kitchen into a wide-open space. Bottom line, Mark is indeed the Basement Specialist making the most of every inch of space both useable and beautiful. You may be thinking he must be overly expensive, but in fact, his estimate was much lower than one of the three I brought in. You can’t go wrong with Mark. The pride and workmanship he uses in hiring his crews is beyond reproach."

Although we can probably do a lot of things we have found over the years. We figured that we can achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction when we stick to our core values and provide the service that we are best at. That is a Five Star Bathroom Solution Project. We love to stay in our own lane.
"All I wanted was a jetted tub (the same size or larger than what I had) and shower doors, That’s it! Regrettably, I went with Five Star Bath solutions of South Atlanta with Lavezza Zanders as my consultant and manager Monty Johnson. What I received was no shower doors at all, and an oval shaped tub that is narrower than the previous tub, this is obvious with even the naked eye. I did not request a particular shape, and I certainly did not request a smaller size. Who the heck would? There is no documentation that I agreed to the tub that was installed specifically, and the contract only states size to be determined at measure. Again, during consultation the same size tub or larger was agreed to. The company responded by telling me that this tub is actually larger than what I had before and to get the proper sized tub, I would have to pay an additional $3000 over the $7000 I had already agreed to pay, and that I had to sign a new contract. They also ordered the wrong size shower doors, so for that I have nothing but holes in my shower. Ultimately, I did not want to sign another contract; I should have been given the proper sizes to begin with. I was given a tub that is 39 inches at its widest point, but my space is over 48 inches. There was plenty of space to put a wider tub without major construction (walls did not need to be knocked down for a better width), this is obvious from the photos. My emphasis on this fell on deaf ears; Monty and Lavezza kept telling me to spend this additional $3000 to get the tub size that fills the width of my space. I then elicited the help of a friend who also has lifelong contracting experience. My concerns were not being addressed and unfortunately, I felt that having a man speak on my behalf would help. On 3 way was Monty, the contractor, and me. The truth came out at this point. First Monty admitted the obvious, the tub is more narrow and only deeper than the previous tub, not LARGER nor the same size! Monty also admitted with the contractor on the phone, that the size, model, and cost difference to get one tub vs another was never presented to me; I was just arbitrarily given a smaller tub! When I asked that they take the tub back and return my $2000 deposit, initially Monty agreed then he reneged. At the end of the conversation, Monty was on the phone cursing at me and the contractor. No one was cursing at him. I attempted to reach The Five Star Bath Remodel Cooperate offices multiple times and got no callbacks at all. For $2000 I got no shower doors and an uncomfortable creaking tub that I didn’t ask for. I want a full refund."

Yes, you can find out if your house is retrofitted by checking for clear signs of secure foundation anchoring. Your home is retrofitted if foundation plates are fastened to structural wood with visible bolts and connectors. Additionally, a qualified home inspector or checking with your local building department can confirm that seismic updates have been completed, ensuring your property meets necessary safety standards.
Your house's ability to withstand an earthquake depends on its structural design and seismic upgrades. Strong construction methods and proper retrofitting help your home resist higher magnitude forces. Factors like your home's age, quality of materials, and secure foundation connections contribute to its overall resilience. A professional structural evaluation is essential to confirm the level of protection built into your home.
You can't completely earthquake-proof your home, but you can significantly improve its resilience against seismic events. Reinforcing your structure by upgrading your foundation, securely bolting the house, and fastening heavy items in place can dramatically reduce potential damage. Professional seismic retrofitting and regular maintenance by certified experts enhance safety and protect your property during an earthquake.
Homeowners’ insurance does not always cover earthquake damage. Standard policies protect against disasters such as fires and hurricanes but can exclude damage caused by earthquakes and flooding. In regions with seismic activity, purchasing dedicated earthquake insurance at an average annual cost of $800 to $1,300 is essential to cover structural repairs and unforeseen expenses. Consult your insurance provider to fully understand your coverage options and ensure adequate protection.
No, earthquake insurance does not cover all damage incurred during a seismic event. It is designed to cover certain repair costs—such as structural damage from ground shifting—but excludes damage from secondary effects like flooding or long-term degradation. Review your policy carefully and consult with your insurance agent to confirm the full scope of coverage, and explore additional relief programs if necessary.
