"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!"

"Our Highland Park basement remodel included a gym, full bathroom, guest bedroom, and media area. There were a lot of moving parts, but the project was under control from start to finish. The quality of the work shows, especially in the details. It feels like a high-end space, not just a finished basement."

"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."

"My basement turned out amazing! Full bathroom installed, including 3-person sauna. Electrical work, lightening, painting, drywall and matte finish black ceiling all turned out fantastic! Gordan’s crew were all terrific. Professional, hard working, and always cleaned up before leaving for the night. Highly recommend!"

"We had to redo our front stairs because the wood was very degraded. We also were looking at replacing the front doors at the entrance of the porch. It was a small job, and some larger companies were not too interested doing it. Dave Lupfer showed interest in the job, and he recommended the use of timber tech Azec, a material more expensive than wood but that does not need to be painted every year or two in order to remain in good condition. The job took longer than usual in the Summer/Fall of 2020, thanks to the Covid-19 epidemic (during the same period we had to wait 3 months to get a new freezer delivered, so no blame here). Contrary to other companies that came for an estimate, Dave Lupfer right away said that the doors were made of really good wood and all they needed was being repainted and balanced. That saved us quite a bit of money. We had to wait for a while for the stairs because the factory making the timber tech Azec had been shut down for a while, due to Covid-19. The job was performed by Dave's crew early November, they replaced the rotten wood and railings with the Azec material, and we now have a great looking front entrance to our porch. The job looks really well done, with no misalignment or unbalanced parts. I would certainly recommend Lupfer Builders."

"The work was expertly done, with incredible attention to detail and an understanding of the kind of modern finishes we wanted. From beginning to end, we were clearly informed about all elements of the remodel and how they would play out. The job was done efficiently, and we were updated on the progress, necessary adjustments, cost-effective solutions, and recommendations that ensured the space was completed beyond our expectations. The carpentry and tile work were incredibly well done. Looking forward to reaching back out for further projects."

"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 had more than 80% of the old house remodeled with new additions. It’s a daunting task and huge project. However, Dimitritis and Joshua made it easy and did a great job in completing our dream home. Joshua was fantastic managing the daily tasks and excellent with details. They were very responsive in re-addressing even with minor adjustments. Definitely recommend."

"We hired David to remodel our basement late last year. There was a late start initially, however the crew picked it up and did an amazing job with our basement. David clearly understood our key requirements and built the plan to accommodate the asks. He was flexible and most importantly available at all hours when we were out for selections. He recommended best options for floor tiles, cabinets and all accessories. We are extremely happy with the output and the great work Davidâ s crew did with our basement. We strongly recommend them."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.

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.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs.
