"I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Ray and Bielefield Construction! We love our new kistchen and Ray was so easy to work with. He even came up with some great solutions for a couple other fixes we needed while he was there. They were quick, clean, professional and a pleasure to work with. Construction can be fun! Keeping them on my speed dial for future projects."

"Skylar does EVERYTHING I have ever requested; bulding furniture to perfection, installation of just about anything, lighting, window treatments, bathroom apparatus, doors and more. He can fix everything I have ever asked; dishwasher, windows, doors, floors, and more. AND you cannot even tell his been here by the time he leaves, everything is cleaned up. He is always on time. Lets put it this way; I will wait no matter how long for him to be the only person who handles my many requests."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

While bathrooms and kitchens are nearly equal in terms of renovation difficulty, kitchens are the most challenging. Kitchen design, layout, electrical, and plumbing needs all depend on each other for the success of the entire project, and mistakes early in the project can cause trouble later on.

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.
