"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"HIRE THESE GUYS!!! Donâ t pay more for big name remodelers. We had a kitchen and master bath remodel as well as putting new flooring in basement and kids bathroom. The quality is exceptional. Johnny and Pablo were the team at our home. Both are very talented craftsmen with a keen focus on detail. No aspect was overlooked or taken for granted. The glass and tile work in our shower was fantastic as was the tile and cabinetry work in the kitchen. The owner, Ed, was terrific to work with and lived up to all our expectations. I canâ t recommend these guys enough. Pricing was right in our budget. Very, very impressed! Will definitely use them again!"

"Ryan was great and easy to work with. He helped us through the process. The work was very good and the cost was reasonable. Ryan and his crew were very professional and respectful. They were always on time and never felt like they were working on other projects and and never felt like they were falling behind. We love the remodel and everyone that has come over have been super impressed. We would recommend Ryan and his team for your remodel needs."

"Extremely pleased with the basement remodel. KSRP team was helpful, responsive and professional. Work included: framing, windows, drywall, electrical, lighting, flooring and painting. Not one complaint. Job price was really good and would have paid more based on what was ultimately delivered. I recommend working with KSRP."

"Over the past several months we’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most professional team members in the basement business - Matrix. My family and I went on the journey of remodeling our basement and after our initial sit down with Nick and Pete we were on board. They presented a solid layout and design, we can’t be happier with the end results. During this process the real joy was getting know and meet absolutely family oriented team members from Angels team carpenters, to Bobby the electrician, to Brian’s team pluming, to Alex the painter, the flooring team, HVAC team and rounding out with Ben keeping everything in motion, we appreciate you all and truly appreciate everyone behind the scenes. The delivery and pickup crew were also a joy to be around, they were even singing song while working as a team. A special thank you to Ms. Jackie and the administration team. None of the work completed could have been done without absolute teamwork. Thank you, job well done!"

"We recently had our basement bathroom redone due to water damage from broken water pipes. It was a pleasure working with Angelo and his team who were all very professional and experienced. Angelo was in constant contact and made sure that all work was performed to my satisfaction."

"Great Work! Very punctual top notch work for a affordable price. I made some changes in the middle of the project and they were still able to finish the project on time. The workers are very polite and respectful. They also clean up everyday before they leave. We highly recommend this company. Frank the owner and his men are very knowledgeable about the work they perform and they pay attention to detail. The prices they charge are lower then the competition but do a superior job and they work with alternative materials to fit your budget. We highly highly recommend Ultra Source Performance for any of your remodeling jobs! Ken and Terri from McHenry Illinois."

"Trevor and Jordan are absolute professionals and I am extremely pleased with the work they have done. We are in the process of relocation and they worked very hard to accommodate that timeline. We needed window trim and sill replacement, siding repair, and facia repair. All work was perfection and once repainted, undetectable. Please give these guys a chance, you won't regret it."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

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.
