"Ceaser from Top Bros Construction & Remodeling was great to work with. Quick response to questions and texts. Good team work with employees. From plumbing to electrical to finished project. I'm sure we will have them back for other projects we will need in the future. One before picture."

Gordan’s crew were all terrific. Professional, hard working, and always cleaned up before leaving for the night. Highly recommend!"

"Ryan and his crew did a great job. They were punctual, communicated effectively on when and what was being done as well as what work was included in the original quote and what would be extras. He gave great recommendations along the way as well. They also kept the house clean through the entire project. The basement came out perfect. We have hosted many gatherings and it’s a place our family now spends most of our time. We have received many compliments on the quality of work and we have referred several friends as well. Highly recommend!"

"Jack took detailed notes during home quote visit and provided us an initial estimate over the phone. His proposal was comparable to other bids we got. We decided to move forward and he sent us a written estimate via email. The first estimate was slightly over original amount due to known possibility with electrical and additional work we wanted. They started the project and it took about 6 weeks to complete. There were some bumps in the beginning with days/time they were working but we were able to sort that out and all was good. Ralph was the main guy that did most of the work. He did a nice job and made sure to clean up after the end of each day. Basement turned out great and We are very happy with it."

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"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!"

"We hired F.Z. to tile a basement bathroom and around 500 sq/feet of basement area. The quality is top notch. Fernando is very good at what he does. We hired him to complete a laundry room tile removal and re tile and an upstarts bath tile removal and re tile before he even finished the basement. We were that impressed. everything looks amazing. I recommend F.Z. Tile to anyone that is thinking about a tile project."

"We hired Brandon to tear down and rebuild our existing deck and screen it in. We also had him cover up our front stairs with composite decking over the concrete. His attention to detail and craftsmanship was excellent. He put in long days to complete the projects on time and correctly. All passed city inspections without issues. He was easy to work with and worked with us even as we made last minute changes. We are so impressed with his work that we are bringing him back in the Spring to replace and repair our front door. Don't pass him up!"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

Key trends include home gyms, theatre rooms, additional rooms (bedroom/office), and more, with personalized styles reflecting individual preferences.

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
