"Having never worked with a contractor before and hearing lots of horror stories, we were cautious about finding a contractor to finish our basement. It took almost a year to find a contractor we wanted to work with, and then a friend of the family recommended Wright Brothers, and we're so happy they did! Both Cameron & Jordan are very transparent, communicative, and hard workers. Another positive about them is they do a lot of the work themselves as they are very skilled in carpentry. They got our basement done on schedule and on budget, which is huge. They also went above and beyond, adding unique features (like a built-in desk for our daughter in the kid's area), and we love it. We would definitely work with them again on our next house and highly recommend them for your project."

"We have a kitchen that had just been remodeled and then a water leak caused needing to have new kitchen taken out, new floor put in and kitchen re-installed. Josh and Paul did all of this. They were on time everyday, did everything we asked and then some and were professional through out. We've had several contractors in the last souple of year and they are among the best. I would recommend and use again."

"I hired Sage Homes to transform my basement into a gaming area, wet bar, guest room, and bathroom. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. Christi was excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. The crew was professional and cleaned up after themselves. I'm very happy with the quality of the work and the finished basement is a cozy addition to our home. I would highly recommend Sage Homes to anyone looking for a basement remodel!"

"I've used cransten for two major projects now, first a partial basement finish and now installing built-in shelves and fireplace in my living room. Super super easy to work with, reasonably priced, the contractors they send out are communicative and professional. I can't say enough great things. I'll be back again when I'm ready for the rest of the basement to be finished."

"RIP Construction completed my basement a month ago and I am completely happy with the work. I chose RTP because of the positive reviews which are very accurate. Rick is a pleasure to work with and he is very professional. He provided a payment schedule for payments and the job came in exactly what was projected. Rick made sure to get my feedback for things that i would not even think about i.e. locations of outlets and type of baseboards. My friends and family are very impressed with my basement and want the name of my contractor for work they are planning on."

"Joe with High Vibrations did an awesome job with our bathroom remodel. He has a great eye for details and helped me make several important design decisions. The tile work was outstanding and exactly what we were looking for in updating a small bathroom in our 1940s Park Hill home. Heâ s also hardworking and honest - all things that made working with him a pleasure. Highly recommend."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

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.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

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.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
