"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."

"We bought a house that needed more storage space, and wanted it added in the short time window between when we closed and when we moved in. Don Lorenc met with us to discuss and plan the project before we closed. He then met with us again right after closing to see the space in person and finalize plans. Everyone showed up as scheduled, they were friendly and courteous, and the work was done well. Visitors cannot tell that there were ever *not* closets in place because it looks so seamlessly integrated with the surrounding space. Don also had a lot of helpful comments regarding placement of doors, depth of shelves, etc, that helped us make decisions we're happy with now. We had one minor snag where the heavy-duty shelf supports in the basement were positioned in a way I worried would make it difficult to get very large items in and out of the closet. I called Don, detailed the sizes of my items, and explained my concern. He understood, and it was changed the next day without any fuss. He was responsive and overall his whole team was great to work with."

"Ryan and his team at Rowe Construction are incredible. Throughout the entire remodel process, Ryan had 1) Detailed and proactive communication, 2) Creative problem solving, and 3) Great design ideas. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ryan again for any work we would need. For me, there's no better review than whether or not we would refer Ryan to our friends. We have referred Ryan to 3 of our friends and they are all using him for their remodeling as well. Don't hesitate to use Rowe Construction for any needs you might have!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We recently used Angelo at AP Builders to finish our basement.  We must say that we were beyond impressed with his ideas, craftsmanship, professionalism and overall project management.  We sought out a few different bids for our basement but were most impressed with his blueprints.  Rose, who also works at AP Builders, was extremely prompt with all communication regarding the proposal and follow up.  Angelo manages his projects like a well oiled machine.  The project moved along smooth as silk and continually ahead of schedule.  Every day there was so much completed and Angelo was present each and every day to make sure every detail was perfect.  We had some minor changes in the blueprints that we wanted done at the beginning and those were done immediately and without any push back to work that was already completed.  His communication each day about progress and our thoughts, suggestions and ideas were listened to with a keen ear.  The house was always kept clean both upstairs where the traffic would come in each day and downstairs in the work area.  Each day it was cleaned up.  Their pricing was very reasonable - and their work was very thorough.  Rose was very quick with all correspondence via email and telephone.  Everything was very well documented and accurate for back end paperwork.  We are in love with our new space that Angelo has created for us and imagine spending many, many years to come enjoying our new living space.  We would recommend Angelo, Rose and AP Builders to anyone looking to have the most interactive, professional, detail-oriented, high quality job done.  We can't say enough about how happy we are to have chosen AP Builders for our project!

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

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.
