"The work that was done well, was excellent-interior woodworking and flooring, windows and most doors. However, Blake Fullerton was almost never on site, there was a long succession of subs that never communicated with each other. The project should have taken 6-8 months; And I realize it was during Covid.. but It has now been 3 years and 5 months. Blake Fullerton refuses to communicate and has not honored his promise to take care of the very long punch list. (I have emails) The work that was done poorly, was atrocious - plumbing in all three bathrooms, , tile floors in the basement, missing hardware,. Much of which I found in the garage, after we ordered replacements. The HVAC system worked fine before the renovation, afterward, the returns on the top floor ( relocated ) and main levels (new) were installed, however, they did not connect to the HVAC return on the unit itselfâ ¦ A very large return was installed in the basement, and is the only return that works. Now it is necessary to have the basement door open at all times.. The sub that did the work was confused about the un-connected returns, and couldnâ t remember what he had doneâ ¦ The stone work down stairs was removed to make way for new windows and doors . Some was replaced by an apparently drunk worker (I found an empty 12 pack of Modelo in the trash bin) who did such a bad job that Blake Fullerton fired him after seeing the work and promised to have it done again properly. That never happened.. The takeaway is be very cautious with this contractor, stay onsite during your entire project, watch the subs like a hawk. And most of all, lower your expectations. Good luck."

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
