Two words that I am daily building this company on; honesty and integrity. Honesty that your house and family will be treated like my own. And the integrity to do what is right, regardless of who is watching. We do: KITCHENS, BATHS, BASEMENTS. Small jobs too!

"Being a Realtor, especially during these last few years, there is a shortage of contractors when needing repairs for clients. Knowing this with a personal project coming up, my husband and I started the hunt for a great contractor early. We were given Mr. Reagan's name as a referral - the best way to get the best people! Brian was honest about being several months out regarding scheduling our project, but was available to answer any questions we had in the meantime, driving over to measure/answer questions AFTER finishing a day's work on another project. Also, having a contractor with working knowledge of newer products / tried-and-true products PLUS the backlog of shipping was invaluable for us. He was also knowledgeable about what we could / couldn't do and offered options, allowing us full control of any decision-making. We are currently putting the finishing touches on it ourselves, but would never had made it this far without Reagan Remodeling. Need a referral, drop me a line!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Finishing an unfinished basement adds the most value, with an average return of 70% or $22,400. A bathroom addition in the basement will provide an ROI of 75%, but the higher cost will leave you with a lower actual return of $9,000, on average. Finishing a basement and adding a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to rent the space will leave you with the highest possible ROI, as you could see well over 100% if you rent the space out long-term.

Home improvements that increase value not only enhance quality of life but also offer a high return on investment (ROI). Replacing a garage door has one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-ROI projects include remodeling your kitchen, installing a stone veneer, and replacing windows. These updates make homes more appealing to buyers and improve functionality, which helps if you plan to sell your home in the future.

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.
