"We contacted them for remodel of 2 of our bathrooms. Excellent work by the project manager and his team on our master bathroom and guest bathroom remodel. He helped us come up with a good design and took care of everything including scheduling inspections and approval of permits. He even accompanied us during shopping trips and provided valuable inputs to help us pick finishing materials. He is also very receptive of critical feedback and goes the extra mile to make sure we are happy with the work at the end of the day. Overall very pleasant experience working with the manager and his crew. Highly recommended!"

"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!

"My wife and I initiated quite a few change orders - 13 I think in the final plan, which we made after throwing jout the first one, right after getting city approval. We put the whole project on hold for about 4 mos. when COVID hit, and during that time we came up with a completely new floor plan. I was pleasantly surprised that most of the changes, the big one from â plan 1â to â plan 2â , and then the 13 or so minor to changes to â plan 2â , resulted in little or no increase in the cost. Kent always returned calls & texts right away, showed up onsite when he said he would, and fully supported us in making the changes we wanted - he fully explained the options whenever we were trying to decide on details. Weâ ve heard two horror stories from neighbors who were remodeling or rebuilding in this same timeframe, but we have only good things to say about Kent. The same goes for my son-in-law, who had him do a smaller scale remodel the year before ours - thatâ s how we learned about Kent"

"This was a massive months-long project to repair wood rot damage. It included replacing multiple structural deficits, termite damage, replacing the roof, siding and stucco work, rebuilding a balcony, renovating the garage, replacing a window and sliding glass door, and painting the house exterior as well as repairing and repainting the inside of the home. Red Line Remodeling’s patience and careful communication and updates were crucial to keeping the project on-track and to ever-changing but agreed-upon budgeting stages. Lyle is well-connected in the construction business and was always able to activate particularly good teams for special contract services. I felt safe, and feel so lucky to have had this amazing team overseeing this massive project."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.
