"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

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.

In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
