"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"Joe was very easy to work with, professional, and polite. His head worker Nico was the same, as well as the crew he brought with him. They knew what to do and were competent through the entire project. We were so pleased and happy we have more projects for Coastal Home Renovations, Joe, and Nico."

"Sergio with Home Pro Builders is excellent. His team has done several large projects for me, commercial and residential. His team has done demolition work, drywall repair and install, plaster repair, masonry, concrete pouring. He is quick to get the jobs scheduled and made sure I was happy with the project on every step of the way. I would 10/10 recommend him and his team!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I can't say enough good things about my experience with Randy Preston and his crew!! Randy helped me renovate a garage that was in SEVERE disrepair into a beautiful and charming studio cottage. The craftsmanship was excellent. I regularly get compliments and feedback that the cottage has the feel of a home that's been there forever (think circa 1940's cottage). The crew was always on time, kept the site neat and clean and were super easy & pleasant to work with. Randy's personality is "steady and calm" - nothing ever felt like a problem - if it was within his power, he handled it and if it wasn't, he helped me figure out next steps. Renovations are rarely stress-free but Randy's nature helped to make it as stress-free as possible. I think the thing I was most impressed with was his transparency and honesty. He was the only contractor that provided me with a fully itemized estimate. I knew exactly how much was budgeted for EVERYTHING and at the end of the construction, he actually credited me back money for things I would have NEVER known cost less then estimated. Every step of the process (that he had control of) was great. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and hope I do get to use him again for a future project I have in mind. If I haven't gotten the point across yet, I highly highly recommend!!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.

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.

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.

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.
