"We hired Wright Brothers to do our basement remodel that included a full bar, guest bedroom, bathroom, and a lot of custom millwork (i.e built in entertainment center, wainscoting, base trim and window casing). Although we had a design in mind before we hired Wright Brothers, they were able to offer suggestions to improve what we had already started. Their prices were very fair and the communication from the beginning to the end of the project was outstanding. We never felt pressured to do anything and they were always upfront and transparent when items outside the scope of work were identified. Guests are constantly amazed when they walk in our basement and see the before and after pictures. It is a place our family will use for many years to come thanks to the quality, dependability and integrity Cameron and Jordan put into their jobs."

"We just had our basement finished, and the sub-contractors that were brought in did a great job. We never had to deal with anything. It was all managed by Seth and Phil. We received a finished basement with everything that we wanted."

"Superior Remodeling was easy to communicate with and worked with us to stay in budget since we were working on insurance money. The work was done quickly and quality work. The walls that needed repairs look fantastic, can't even tell where the texturing is and the carpet was installed so nicely I feel like my basement never flooded and I can go back to normal. Highly recommend their services!"

"Josh and Hometown Construction did a fabulous job on our basement remodel! They were communicative, professional, and showed up on time. All of the subcontractors were also professional and did a fabulous job. Josh regularly came to check on progress of work being done, and he personally took care of any typical construction issues ASAP. They went above and beyond to finish the job to our standards and on time, and they never nickel and dimed us. I’ve already recommended Hometown Construction to friends and family, and I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone looking to remodel their home or basement!"

"Rich and his team totally crushed our basement remodel. They gave me a great estimate, and final price didnâ t change. His team was on one time, diligent, and finished on time. Having worked with other contractors, this was the best experience Iâ ve ever had. Canâ t wait to hire them again to remodel the upstairs."

"I worked with Baker Builders on finishing my basement (around 900 sqft, with a full bathroom and a wet bar area). I started the project in late 2019, just before the pandemic. They took the measurements and proposed the layout. Due to the pandemic the project was put on hold. I was very pleasantly surprised that when I resumed the project in early 2021 we didn't have to start from the scratch - we could jump directly to the execution. The basement has been finished according to the plan, and I could not be happier with the outcome. Every detail has been taken care of, and I have no doubts as to the quality of the work performed. Each crew working on the project was extremely accommodating about any smaller and bigger requests that I had during the execution. Travis, who was the project manager, deserves a separate mention. Thanks to him the project went so smoothly. I really appreciated the initial schedule provided by him, and that we actually followed it to a large extent. There was no unreasonable delays, and generally things happened when they were supposed to. I was really afraid the project would drag for much longer, based on previous experiences with other companies, but Travis just made it happen! He was on top of things all the time. He accommodated each of my requests, his responsiveness was truly amazing, and I really have never worked with anyone like this on any other project. In general, Baker Builders did an outstanding job with this basement project. Every aspect of it - the price, timeliness, responsiveness, no hidden cost, no unexpected delays, even accommodating COVID precautions - made this is a very pleasant and smooth experience. This is a very solid 5 stars, and with no hesitation I would recommend Baker Builders to any of my friends (which I already did), or use them for any project in the future."

"Home was in need of paint. With that need came a few minor siding repairs, and a small gutter extension. Prep work was begun with a power wash, followed by tap in of nails, fixing joints that were loose and sealing nail heads. My house had acne for a day. Primer followed in some areas. The morning spraying started, a light rain began. Experienced crew knew to stop and pause for better weather. The next morning they returned and had a great day to finish the job. In my younger years, I probably would have attempted the job myself. Now, I have seen true professionals provide their craftsmanship and the results are beautiful. JP Painting did excellent work and had a very attentive crew on my job. I recommend them."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.

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.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.
