"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"HUGE thank you to F&F Construction and Remodeling for an awesome basement complete finish. We had multiple bids prior to going with Matt Fowles and Brent, but we could not have been happier with our decision to move forward with F&F. They were great to work with, easy to communicate with and they even put up with possibly the hardest person on earth to do work for (me)... sorry guys! If youâ re looking for any home remodeling, outdoor work, decks etc. Iâ d highly recommend connecting with them for a bid before you get started with anyone else."

"Adam was amazing! From the first meeting he was able to understand what I looking to accomplish and was very knowledgeable. He also explained that he works with the same crew (i.e. plumber, paint, drywall, electrical) to maintain a high quality of work. His budget was very acceptable for the work performed. Even though his time to finish my basement was a couple weeks longer than other bids from local contractors, he did complete my basement on time with no major delays or issues. He kept me in the loop about the schedule and gave me a week to week timeline of the upcoming events and what work would be completed and who would be coming to my house. I really appreciated that. Any time I had questions or concerns Adam would take the time to answer them or reassure me of the progress. I am so happy I used Adam and now my 3 little children have a finished basement to play in!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

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.
