What room is the most expensive to renovate?

• <div><p>It may not come as a surprise that the kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to renovate. This is due to the expensive appliances like the range, hood, and fridge, but also because the bones of the room—like electrical and plumbing—are expensive to move or replace. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-kitchen-remodel-cost.htm">renovate a kitchen on a budget</a>, it will always carry a hefty price tag, even if you cut some corners.</p></div>

Q: Should you refinish your basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.</p></div>

Q: What adds the most value in a renovation?

• <div><p>Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll use a macerator pump to install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete. The purpose of breaking into concrete is to connect the drain pipes to the main sewer line. But a macerator pump will bypass this step and break up solids until they are soft enough to pass through a discharge pipe. That pipe will carry the waste to the sewage line.</p></div>

Q: Can you add a kitchenette to a basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you&rsquo;ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you&rsquo;re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you&rsquo;ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you&rsquo;re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you&rsquo;ll save considerable money. </p></div>

My overall experience with them was o.k. The workers were o.k. but they didn't start on time or finish by the deadline. We terminated the project at half way and are finishing it ourselves.

The existing basement walls have paneling which Jamie and his crew were able to match. The door frames were stained and varnished to match the existing door frames. The Sun Tunnel skylight in the windowless bathroom looks so good that it could be an original part of the house. All...

"We recently hired Joe & 2T Construction to completely remodel our kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They began by handling the full demolition of our old kitchen with care and efficiency, making sure to minimize disruption to the rest of our home. Throughout the remodel, their communication was excellent—they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to answer our questions. He help design the new kitchen layout and had really great plans detailing the new kitchen layout. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. Everything from the cabinetry and countertops to the flooring and lighting was installed with precision and care. The final result is not only beautiful but also highly functional. The team was punctual, respectful of our space, and cleaned up thoroughly each day. We appreciated their transparency with the budget and timeline, both of which were met as promised. We highly recommend 2T Construction to anyone considering a kitchen remodel. They exceeded our expectations in every way."
