New Basement for COVID-19 Stay Home

April 21, 2020 By Tom Sweeney Leave a Comment

Do you wish you had improved or enlarged your home before COVID-19 made social distancing and staying home the new normal? The quickest and most cost-effective solution now may be to finish or update your basement.

APEX will continue to design kitchens and bath remodels this summer using video calls, screen sharing and email. But our near-term production focus has shifted to basements, side additions and exterior exteriors. These projects will keep construction crews and clients safely apart.  Contact APEX President JB Biancini today to discuss your project.

When all materials are on hand before demolition begins, APEX’s production speed is hard to beat. If you approve a basic basement design and selections in two weeks, APEX will employ its refined construction management process and loyal trade partners to substantially complete your full basement remodel in just 6 to 8 weeks.

Imagine gaining a safe and comfortable new bathroom, laundry, kitchenette, bedrooms and recreation area downstairs before the dog days of summer arrive. You will appreciate the bonus space whether family members must quarantine or just need some alone time from the rest of the clan.

APEX finished this Lake Elmo basement just before COVID-19 struck Minnesota. Lisa Stoll from Sparrow & Stoll designed it. Matt Grudzielanek was project manager. Photos illustrate the transformation better than words. The remodeled space features new windows overlooking the backyard. The design includes a bathroom with a large tile shower, a laundry room, two bedrooms and a big, bright recreation area with a gas fireplace.

This project would have been ideal during the COVID shut down because crews had direct access from the backyard. If your basement lacks a door to outdoors, we will seal off the entry route with plastic so crews are isolated from your family and pets.

COVID-19 Guidelines

March 24, 2020 By John Biancini Leave a Comment

Dear APEX Clients,

  1. Projects in production – We are monitoring the health of our workers, our clients, and ourselves daily and will not go to work if anyone is not feeling well. When we do go to work we are taking extra precautions to keep our distance via additional containment barriers on the jobsites and asking clients to respect the new social distancing norms. We will also ask clients on a regular basis if they are comfortable with us continuing our work in their homes.
  2. Projects in design  – Aside from the physical on-site need to take measurements, we are/will be using technology for all communications: email, teleconferencing, and when possible, video teleconferencing via Webex with presentation/whiteboard capability.
  3. Future projects – When possible, we are replacing on-site project previews with client “before” photos, sketches, and emails to assemble a general scope of work and render a ballpark budget range.

 I expect projects currently in the design phase to continue into construction if essential services continue to be allowed to work.

JB Biancini,
President
APEX Construction Management
