"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

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary
