"I can't say enough about these guys and wish I hadn't lost their contact information for a time. About 8 years ago, I had Sal and his guys do the finish work on my basement drywall that I hung. They also hung some drywall in the stairway going to the basement. Initially, they hung the soffit incorrectly but it was just a communication issue. I called Sal, he took a look and they came back and re-did it right away without hesitation. Their work has lasted this long without any problems. I started another remodeling project in my family room and needed a ceiling hung and finished, along with finishing some walls I had hung. Unfortunately, I had lost the contact information for Sal so I had to find another company. Long story short, this other company did an absolutely terrible job (Do not use NoticeTMA LLC for any drywall!). The family room adjoins the kitchen, and I had taken a wall down between them. I decided to carry the remodel over into the kitchen, and when it was time to hang the ceiling in the kitchen, I had found the old invoice from High Quality Painting and decided to see if they were still around. I am glad I did. Sal's son's came out to give me an estimate on my kitchen ceiling and also to repair the bad work in my family room. I decided to remove the new ceiling in the family room and have them do the whole thing. Their price was very competitive and everything turned out great. The old job didn't last 4 days without cracking. Luis' job has been up for a month now and there are no issues (and I am a very picky customer). I would highly recommend them for drywall hanging, finishing and repair."

"Mighty basement did a great job on my basement remodel. I had company coming in July and Scot Coleman made sure the remodel was completed by my target date. He was supervising the job and did a tremendous job. Scot was very professional but at the same time was attentive to what I wanted. He was great to work with. I would highly recommend Might Basements and bath."

"KSR has done 2 jobs at my home (a full bath remodel and a basement living room) both excellent work! Very easy to communicate with. Work was completed on the established timeline (even a little quicker than expected). Good attention to small details. Would definitely recommend to others."

"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."

"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."

"I could not be happier with the work Matrix Basements did on our basement! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled. They transformed our unfinished space into a beautiful, functional area that our whole family can enjoy. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding every detail was thoughtfully executed. They stayed on schedule and within budget, which was a huge plus. The team was also great at communicating with us throughout the project, ensuring we were informed and comfortable every step of the way. Our new basement has completely exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a remodeler who delivers exceptional results with top-notch service, I highly recommend Matrix Basement Finishing. They truly deserve all five stars!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.

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.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.
