"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

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

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.
