How long does a basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Assuming you are going for a full remodel for an average-sized basement with a reputable contractor, the process can take up to two weeks or more. Remember that basements have many stairs and often difficult access—it’s not like working in the entryway. The shuttling of materials, increased need for ventilation and safety precautions, and making sure everything can be removed through a doorway all increase time and cost.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build up or add a basement?

• <div><p>Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.</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: What costs are associated with basement remodeling?

• <div><p>Costs are guided by renovation scope, materials chosen, project duration, structural needs, and labor. Prioritizing tasks prevents unforeseen expenses.</p></div>

Q: When should you not finish a basement?

• <div><p>Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn&rsquo;t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. </p></div>

"We started out with a simple request to replace some siding and ended up using Barry and his team for everything, and let me tell you, they have been AWESOME throughout this entire process! He and his team have repeatedly gone out of their way, every step of the way, to make sure that we're not only getting what we asked for, but also to ensure that the work was being done correctly, quickly, and at a reasonable price. They didn't just patch things up outside, they've completely restored this home. It's even better now than it was originally! It's simply amazing to see the absolute transformation this house has gone through in such a short amount of time and we could not be more satisfied with the job they've done! I would highly recommend Barry and his team for any project you have - literally, ANY project - these guys can do it all! Just give him a call and get that free estimate, you won't be disappointed. Also, everyone on the team was great, but I need to give a special shoutout to Michael - he was out there through the entire project and had some amazing recommendations that really took the remodeling phase to the next level! Just another reason you can't go wrong choosing Homeworx."
