"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."

"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, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

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.

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.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
