"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 hired Don Lorenc to build out our unfinished basement. Don was friendly and easy to work with and offered good suggestions on incremental improvements to our design. When issues came up, he communicated thoroughly and offered cost effective solutions. His carpentry team was exceptional and we are very happy with the final product."

"Kris is an amazing person to work with. We worked with him to do a complete remodel of our master bathroom. He is organized and extremely meticulous. His estimates were reasonable and he is very flexible to your needs. He is extremely trust worthy and friendly (my kids loved talking to him). He provided us with a detailed list of what we needed to buy as well as places where we could get necessary material - tiles, countertop, granite etc. He also provided several design ideas for us to consider as a starting point. He wrapped up each day by thoroughly cleaning the work area to remove any debris and finished right on the day he had said he would be done at the start of the project. I would highly recommend him for any kind of remodeling work and look forward to another opportunity to work with him."

"We couldn't have had anyone better than Tomas and Gabriela to work on our Basement re-modelling project. They provided us with excellent recommendations and I am glad I listened and am absolutely delighted with the results. Tomas converted the basement into an entertainment area my family and our friends. Thank you, Tomas and Gabriella for sticking to the budget, for your professionalism and most importantly the quality of work. Would love to recommend and use the services again"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

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 can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.

While bathrooms and kitchens are nearly equal in terms of renovation difficulty, kitchens are the most challenging. Kitchen design, layout, electrical, and plumbing needs all depend on each other for the success of the entire project, and mistakes early in the project can cause trouble later on.
