"We were so please with the work finishing our basement from the start to the finish. Jordan spent the time with us in the initial layout and planning and worked openly with our ideas. During the construction they were super neat and cleaned up daily. They kept to the schedule and the budget. Best of all is that our basement looks awesome!! Would highly recommend these brothers for your construction work!"

"This is the second time I have hired Sean, and once again his work exceeded my expectations. Sean is always thorough, detailed and quality focused. His work ethic is beyond reproach. He does NOT speed through the job, but takes the right amount to time to make sure it is done right the first time. You never have to call him back to fix anything. I highly recommend Master MCG Remodeling for any of your household remodeling projects."

"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."

"The crew was very professional and efficient. Jerry, the leader, was especially knowledgeable about materials and techniques. They went beyond what was expected by matching paint, replacing a dryer vent hose, and working late. I highly recommend Superior Remodeling."

"I couldn't be happier with my bathroom remodel! From the very beginning, the team made the whole process easy and stress-free. They took the time to listen to what I wanted, answered all my questions, and kept me updated every step of the way. The attention to detail was incredible, and the finished bathroom turned out even better than I imagined. The tile work, fixtures, and overall craftsmanship are beautiful. The crew was always on time, respectful, and made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of each day. What was once an outdated bathroom is now one of my favorite rooms in the house. I genuinely enjoy spending time in it, and I've received so many compliments from family and friends. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a team that truly cares about their customers."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

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.

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.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.
