"Jerry remodeled my basement last year before I sold my house. Also painted living room and dining room and replaced light fixture. He and his partner were courteous, hard-working and neat. They did a great job. My house sold in 3 days-I think partly because of the good work Jerry did."

"I can't say enough about A P Builders and how absolutely wonderful they have been from start to finish. We completely gutted and remodeled our home and Angelo was upfront, honest, timely, and everything that was contracted was done to perfection. We had crew there every day from start to finish. He started on time and finished on time. Any change orders were handled professionally and solutions were found for any unforeseen challenges due to the age of my home. I highly recommend AP Builders for any of your home improvement needs."

"BASEMENT FINISHING We fully finished our basement plumbing, electric, flooring, everything and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. It turned out beautiful. The crew was awesome to work with super professional, respectful, and they paid attention to every little detail. I’ve dealt with contractors before, but this team really stood out. They were on time, communicated well, and made sure we were happy every step of the way. Not to sound cliche, but if I could give them 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend them if you’re thinking about doing any kind of basement work. It came out even better than we expected"

"We recently hired New Expectation Remodeling LLC to renovate our basement office and were thoroughly impressed by their quality and attention to detail. We recommend them and are already planning future projects with their team. Key Highlights: Estimation: The process was seamless; Stephen provided a competitive estimate one day after our initial meeting. Communication: Was very good. We spent time aligning expectations via email before the start, ensuring alignment and a smooth project. Professionalism: The team was punctual and showed visible progress every day. They also cleanup the workspace nightly. Reliability & Quality: Although the project took slightly longer than estimated, the results were worth the wait. When we identified a couple issues, they returned to make the necessary corrections. It is a great feeling to have a contractor you can trust. We look forward to working with them again!"

"Water mitigation done after sewer backup into our basement. Jay came out same day to do estimate. Work done the following day, exactly as expected. Removed carpeting, baseboards, drilled holes at baseboard level to be sure there was no drywall behind paneling and allowing for better drying. Moved our furniture around to do the job. Sprayed for mold and left commercial fans and a dehumidifier running for a couple of days. Fair price. Good communication/responsive. Kept me updated as to arrival times, etc. Would recommend this company."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

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.

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.
