"CT basement did a phenomenal job finishing our basement and we could not be happier with the results. They made every step of the process from design to the finished project simple and straightforward, everybody was easy to work with and made our opinions and needs the top priority and they were able to perfectly translate our vision into the final product. This was a fairly large project involving finishing 1200sq ft with an office, gym and full bathroom and their experience and expertise was obvious. They definitely understand the specific needs of a basement while making it look like any other room in the house. We would use them again in a second, we’ve even been joking about tearing down the rest of the house and just living in the basement!"

"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

Customers say: Quick response

"We used Lasting Strength to perform a major renovation on a 1950's basement living/bathroom area. The project was literally a complete tear down and start back over. Adam & his team of professionals were attentive to all details, such as plumbing/electrical and accommodating daily life needs. They worked around our schedules and also accommodated the management of the project via the use of technology (FaceTime, text, email), which allowed for quick decision making and allowed us to view items as they were found. From the plumbers, Sheetrock, painting, and electrical - the final product is exemplary!"

"Nixon was amazing. I never have good experiences with handymen but he was able to fix my front door, weatherproof my doors, and fix my dehumidifier basement issue that have been huge issues before now. He’s reliable and does a great job. Highly recommend!"

"There are not enough great things I can share about HammerTime Construction, and every single member of their team. From consultation to project completion, the high level of professionalism, expertise, SKILL, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship was exemplary! We contacted William via Angi (blindly!) in hopes of helping my elderly parents restore their kitchen, and he agreed to come by that same day - a weekend- to do an assessment, and provide a quote. He assured us he'd work within our budget, and he stuck to his word. We were in constant contact for everything from project concept to contract to which materials we'd be selecting. Our expectations were surpassed 10-fold!! Hire them. Just look at the photos! Our parents' home was completely transformed in the best possible way. It will now be a source of pride and an enjoyable gathering space for all who visit. On top of the kitchen remodel, they also restored our hardwood floors to a beautiful state we didn't even know was possible. Miguel, Ignacio and the entire team were speedy, efficient and completely caring as though this were their own family's home. We will be returning to this company for future projects, and we recommend them with zero hesitation!!"
This was a larger bathroom with two accent walls, a tub and sauna shower with jetted shower heads, a custom-cut ceiling, heated pebble flooring, and a mini wooden walkway.
The client wanted a tub sitting on pebble stones with an accent wall, wooden look custom shelving, and a smart floating toilet.
The image showcases a contemporary stand-up shower featuring frameless glass doors that provide a seamless, open look. The interior is adorned with large marble tiles in a soft, neutral tone, giving the shower a luxurious feel.

Built-in niches provide stylish and practical storage for toiletries, while subtle LED lighting enhances the overall ambiance.

"Customer Service was by far above expectations. I felt my basement was as important to Pella as it was to me. Also, we were given great recommendations throughout the process. Quality of the work was very good. Only area for improvement was that the upfront estimate had a couple minor misses, and I would have liked the laminate planks to have been laid with 3-4 row repeating pattern rather than a 2 row; but I never made that expectation known upfront. Overall an excellent experience and I highly recommend!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

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.
