Q: Does a bar in the basement add value?

• <div><p>Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it&rsquo;s unlikely that you&rsquo;ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you&rsquo;ll use the area frequently, though, it&rsquo;s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire for a basement remodel?

• <div><p>For most basement remodels, you&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to add a basement to an existing house?

"We found Bielefeld Construction on Home Advisor and was surprised when Ray responded because we hadnâ t previously had a lot of luck on Home Advisor. We hired them for a master bedroom remodel and are very happy with the final outcome. We made a few changes here and there and Ray was very accommodating. All employees and subcontractors were pleasant, considerate and meticulous in what they brought to the project. We would definitely recommend Bielefeld Construction and use them again if the need arises. 5 star organization!"
