"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

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
