"I can't speak highly enough of this company and the professionalism of the men who performed the work at our house. The men arrived early every morning as they said they would. At the end of each day, they thoroughly cleaned up the construction area and left when we arrived home from work. The men were very professional and continually attempted to make our house comfortable for us even though there was construction all around us. They were very kind and considerate workers, always open to any additional projects that we added to their workload. They graciously offered to bring our furniture back into the house and arranged it for us. If they left for the day before we arrived at home, they always secured the house. A portion of the work was performed in the master bath. They showed great respect for our space. The men were also very skilled in the work they performed. The flooring looks amazing, the tile work is beautiful, electrical work complicated and perfect, you would never know we had sheetrock work done, and painting looks perfect. In summary, although the price seemed a little high to me (although I'm not an expert in what construction costs should be) the employees and owner of Crestone treated us like their family and completed the work close to their bid amount with professionalism and expert skill. I would not hesitate to hire them again for additional remodeling.

"907 Fix It was able to perform the job when many other agencies were unwilling/too expensive/ or too busy to assist this summer. Chris Skaggs went out of his way to call us and answer all questions we had. Very efficient and economical work."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?
