"I recently had the pleasure of working with Holague Services, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly flexible and accommodating with all the changes I made along the way. They truly understood my design concept and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. We made several major updates, including adding pocket doors, painting the entire house, upgrading the master bath, and remodeling the garage. Throughout this process, Holague Services kept everything on track, completing the project on time despite very tight constraints. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were outstanding. I would highly recommend Holague Services to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and creative team who can deliver great results even under pressure."

"We called, Alex came out that afternoon, had a bid the next day for the screening. The next day he had a bid on the chimneys. He and a partner began the work and finished in a week. They cleaned up each day, and hauled away trash. Very nice to work with and very thorough. Yes, I would hire again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
