"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!"

"Ryan was great and easy to work with. He helped us through the process. The work was very good and the cost was reasonable. Ryan and his crew were very professional and respectful. They were always on time and never felt like they were working on other projects and and never felt like they were falling behind. We love the remodel and everyone that has come over have been super impressed. We would recommend Ryan and his team for your remodel needs."

"Over the past several months we’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the most professional team members in the basement business - Matrix. My family and I went on the journey of remodeling our basement and after our initial sit down with Nick and Pete we were on board. They presented a solid layout and design, we can’t be happier with the end results. During this process the real joy was getting know and meet absolutely family oriented team members from Angels team carpenters, to Bobby the electrician, to Brian’s team pluming, to Alex the painter, the flooring team, HVAC team and rounding out with Ben keeping everything in motion, we appreciate you all and truly appreciate everyone behind the scenes. The delivery and pickup crew were also a joy to be around, they were even singing song while working as a team. A special thank you to Ms. Jackie and the administration team. None of the work completed could have been done without absolute teamwork. Thank you, job well done!"

"Ed responded immediately to my call for help. Had water enter my finished basement and called Master Craft & Design, who was located in Fox Lake. When Ed arrived to give me a quote, he saw that my vinyl flooring could still be saved. He called a couple of his guys to come over and vacuumed the water and removed the flooring to dry. I hired him even before he gave me a quote just for his quick actions to save me money on the flooring alone. They did their thing and my basement looks better than it did before. The quote was very reasonable as well, considering he already had me locked in. My wife and I were already considering renovating our kitchen. Ed already gave us a quote for that as well. Great guy, great work. Thanks!"

"These guys were great! I hired them to install a laminate floor & baseboards in my lower level & they completed it quickly & professionally! I then used them to install a vanity/sink & toilet. Although the my bathroom was not plumbed for this, they were knowledgeable enough to get it done! I will continue to use them for all my handyman needs. Just a couple of nice guys with great talent!"

Customers say: True professional

"Great Work! Very punctual top notch work for a affordable price. I made some changes in the middle of the project and they were still able to finish the project on time. The workers are very polite and respectful. They also clean up everyday before they leave. We highly recommend this company. Frank the owner and his men are very knowledgeable about the work they perform and they pay attention to detail. The prices they charge are lower then the competition but do a superior job and they work with alternative materials to fit your budget. We highly highly recommend Ultra Source Performance for any of your remodeling jobs! Ken and Terri from McHenry Illinois."

"Fernando and his son did an absolutely top notch, excellent, job remodeling our master bath. Not only was the work done professionally and perfectly but also showed up on time, cleaned up daily and produced a very luxury and excellent remodel and in record time! I have worked with many contractors and never give a top rating unless absolutely warranted and I would give F.Z. Tile the best there is. There is not one thing I can even say to do better. Kudos Fernando and Chris!!!! We would highly recommend them!"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.

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.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
