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

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, though this varies by state regulations. You may live in an area that allows for below-grade spaces to be considered in a home's official square footage. In those cases, the basement must meet certain conditions, like having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. Your local assessor can confirm your area's policies regarding basement square footage.

Costs are guided by renovation scope, materials chosen, project duration, structural needs, and labor. Prioritizing tasks prevents unforeseen expenses.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
