How long does a basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Assuming you are going for a full remodel for an average-sized basement with a reputable contractor, the process can take up to two weeks or more. Remember that basements have many stairs and often difficult access—it’s not like working in the entryway. The shuttling of materials, increased need for ventilation and safety precautions, and making sure everything can be removed through a doorway all increase time and cost.</p></div>

• <div><p>Project timelines vary significantly, typically from weeks to months, depending on design complexity and active permitting processes.</p></div>

Q: When should you not finish a basement?

• <div><p>Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn&rsquo;t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed.

Q: Can barndominiums have basements?

• <div><p>Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you&rsquo;re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.</p></div>

He gave me a quote for the work I required. Installed a couple of motion lights outside, a light in the basement, and replaced several outlets with GFI as well as repaired some badly installed 3 way switches. When he was finished he billed me for what he had quoted. I was very pleased.

It turned out to be fine. My basement looks fine and neat now. They did exactly what we agreed that they will do. There were no screaming and no arguing. They were the back slap and hand shake. Their price was excellent.

The crew is professional and friendly, and after the good drain-snaking experience, we called them first for an estimate on plumbing rough-ins for a bathroom remodel. However, I felt the quote for the bathroom rough-in was crazy high -- about twice what we ended up paying.
