"Carrigan Construction was a Great Choice!! We just finished a large remodel of our kitchen and master bath with Carrigan Construction. Our home is over 30 years old, so there was a lot to be done. The remodel included demolition of walls, closing off a window, moving a pass way, adding natural gas and much more. We received two estimates prior to selection and one was a high end and well know company in Gainesville. We selected Carrigan for a number of reasons, one which was cost. The other company provided a significantly higher estimate with much less renovation. We were extremely pleased with the relationship and outcome that we quickly established with Natasha and Bobby. As the project concluded, it was much more impressive than we could have imagined. They are skilled and talented, but our satisfaction was related to more than just the end product and included the whole process and experience. Some of these additional benefits were their extreme flexibility, patience, timeliness and communication. I think they revised our initial plan six or more times prior to starting. We even added additional work throughout the renovation, including closing off a fireplace and re flooring the most of the house. They provided a very detailed estimate and revised it throughout. Most important to us, they provided an aggressive timeline initially and we were more than impressed that they held to that timeline even with all of the additions. We have enjoying our remodel for three weeks now and feel very fortunate that we selected Carrigan Construction and would highly recommend them."

"Tim was very responsive from day one.  The job was on a cabin about 3 hours from where I live and he updated me regularly on the progress of the work. With the rain we have had this summer, the job turned into much more than he had bargained for (or quoted for)...but he stuck with it until the job was completed.  The work he did for me turned out great and I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a hard working and honest contractor who does excellent work.

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

The average cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400. Depending on the project's complexity, the price can be as low as $3,500 or exceed $50,200. For a simple project like adding a home office, you might spend between $500 and $3,000. However, a more extensive project, such as adding a bathroom, can range from $6,600 to $16,500. The final cost is influenced by factors like the basement's size and condition, the type of remodel, material choices, your location, and accessibility. For an accurate price, it's best to consult with a basement remodeling team.

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.
