"It was terrible overall. Russell Walker from Panda Brand Construction, LLC contacted me 2am on March 5, 2025. I asked him to call me during business hours. I met with Russell on March 7, 2025 to go over what needed to be done in my home. I hired him on March 16, 2025 to scheme coat and paint living room going up stairs, repair and paint my ceiling, install kitchen cabinets, install kitchen flooring going into bathroom off kitchen area and drywalling and completing my utility room as well as epoxy countertops. The total amount, $6,700 labor and I provided all materials. On March 16, 2025 I gave Mr. Walker a cash deposit of $2,000 and received a receipt with his signature on it. He started the work on March 17, 2025 and asked for the remaining deposit of $1, 375.00 to complete half of the down payment of $6,700. I gave it to him. He was never on time to work. He would show up every day at 11am or later and leave at 3-3:30 pm. This went on from 3/17-3/31/2025. The second day at my home, Mr. Walker brought an ex-convict to my home and the two of them had a confortation and threatened to call the police on each other. After that, everyday he was bringing different individuals to my home and they were sabotaging to get more money to fix items that were not broken in the beginning. I continue to tell Mr. Walker that he needs to do better with all the work and people he was bringing. He agreed with me. Mr. Walker told me that the work in my home would only take one week to complete. I questioned that time frame and he assured me of that time. However, on week three he was still at my home and NOT one room or project was completed. He bounced all over my home not finishing anything. On March 31, 2025, Mr. Walker told a person that was helping him do work at my home to tell me he will not be returning to my home to finish anymore work. He later, showed up on 3/31/2025 to pick up his tools and told me that "since he feels that I get along better with the other person and not him. I should let the other person complete the projects". However, the other person was not qualified. He was a roofer. Because he was a roofer, he sent that person on my roof to sabotage, by pulling shingles off my roof to get more money from me to repair it. I have all the proof of pictures and text messages he sent about my roof weeks after he ran off with my deposit and abandoned the work. I also, took pictures of Mr. Walker's sloppy work (painting) that a child could have done better. He breached the contract and I would like my money back. I believe his bonded and license is a Phony and he is a Fraud."

"We decided to remove the old deck in our back yard and build a new larger one with a pergola. Jim did a great job from start to end. Before starting, he helped us deciding the material by providing quotes using cedar and composite. We decided to use cedar for both deck and pergola, and we love how it came out. Jim was very responsive during the design phase. So, we could finalize the design and start construction. At that point we had a tight schedule because of guests visiting during summer. Jim and his team worked hard and managed to be within schedule. The work was done very carefully, with great attention to details and we are very pleased by the outcome."

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:
Replacing insulation
Replacing carpet or other flooring
Adding heating and cooling
Adjusting or adding walls and doors
Altering or adding plumbing elements
If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
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
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
