"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

Small jobs welcome

"We had a complete kitchen remodel done by Beneflipper Construction. Damon Benefield (owner) and his crew did a fabulous job. The work included demolition of the entire kitchen down to the studs. Damon increased the size of the see-through area between the kitchen and the dining area. New plumbing, electrical, cabinets and appliances were put in. The great part about the project was that Damon was in contact with us for the entire process. Plus, he was spot on with the estimated time of completion. We are thoroughly pleased with the workmanship, ease of communication and timely manner in which our project was completed. I would highly recommend Damon Benefield and Beneflipper Construction without reservation. In fact, we loved the ease of working with Damon, that we had him do our bathroom remodel, as well. Thank you! Thomas Morrison & Dondi Austin Long Beach, CA"

"Oscar and his assistant did stellar work. My kitchen was a mess. It had been previously painted several times without proper sanding and attention to detail by my Landlord. Oscar was so easy going and calm about the whole thing. It took a day less than projected and the clean up and attention to detail was perfect. I would and will hire him again!"

"Nextgen Home Repair did our bathroom remodel and they did such a great job. Honestly what I liked most was how easy they made everything. Remodeling can be stressful, but they kept us updated and explained things clearly along the way. The attention to detail really stood out, the tile work looks amazing and everything feels solid and well done. They were respectful of our home and made sure things were cleaned up at the end of each day. The finished bathroom looks modern and exactly like we envisioned it. I would absolutely recommend them."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. 

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.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.
