"Bill came over and looked at my basement gave me a quote. I had 3 other quotes but not from Angie’s List. Bills was the best quote. He also noticed I had a water problem and my sub pump was not working correctly and he recommended Connecticut basement. I also contacted them. Thanks to Bill now I have a new basement and a lifetime warranty from Connecticut basement for my sub pump and water leak. If it wasn’t for Bill my basement would still have water problems."

Customers say: Quick response

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"Jermaine C Home Improvement LLC did an excellent job on a very long list of repairs and improvements including replacing damaged drywall ceilings, installing a butcher block countertop, rebuilding the side of a porch due to rotted wood, installing a new floor and trim. Overall I found the company to be reliable, honest, skilled at all aspects of home improvements, goes above and beyond and the prices very reasonable compared to other handyman companies I called. I highly recommend Jermaine C Home Improvement LLC, he definitely gets it right the first time."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.

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.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.
