What is the hardest part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.</p></div>

What room is the most expensive to renovate?

• <div><p>It may not come as a surprise that the kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to renovate. This is due to the expensive appliances like the range, hood, and fridge, but also because the bones of the room—like electrical and plumbing—are expensive to move or replace. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-kitchen-remodel-cost.htm">renovate a kitchen on a budget</a>, it will always carry a hefty price tag, even if you cut some corners.</p></div>

Q: Are walkout basements included in square footage?

• <div><p>Walkout basements are not generally included in a home&rsquo;s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.</p></div>

Q: How much does a basement remodel cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-basement-remodeling-cost.htm">cost to remodel a basement</a> is between <b>$12,100 and $33,400</b> for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. </p><p>If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.</p></div>

Q: Is a walkout basement below grade?

• <div><p>A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can&rsquo;t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it&rsquo;s legal to do so.</p></div>

Cris and his team are phenomenal. He worked with me on remodeling the kitchen and was so amazing I had him remodel the rest of upstairs and make a new deck for me. On time and great service and care.

Mike and his apprentice arrived on time and the job was completed quickly. They removed the old water heater from the basement and left the work areas clean. We were very happy with the quality of work.

Excellent service. Did a complete remodel on an older house. Tommy stayed true to his price quote and was available on the days we were ready for him. Would recommend Tommy to anyone. In fact we are calling him to come back this week so we can get started on our guest bathroom.

Mr. Todd Dale was quick to respond to our call, which was great. He assembled a team of Mexican roofers-- and they were FABULOUS! They showed up promptly 3 days in a row and worked sun up to sun down-- rarely stopping despite the incredible heat. Mr. Dale, however, was rarely coming to check on...

We contacted Spanky's for several problems in the house, but the major one was a huge leak from the kitchen sink. We'd had someone attempt to fix it once, but needed someone more professional. First, Spanky's was late. Second, when fixing the wobbly toilet, the plumber pulled himself up by way...

"An excellent team of workers tore down the damaged exterior wall on one morning, them rebuilt it the next morning. The workers were very courteous, and friendly, worked almost silently and very efficiently. Not a lot of talk, each man knew what to do, and worked together as a well run team. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris."
