"Jose Aritas and his crew are top-notch: professional, pleasant, and efficient. Jose responded quickly to our inquiry on Angi, and came the next day to estimate our job (painting the interior front half of the house, including the ceiling, and also minor master bathroom remodeling). They were ready to go as soon as the new countertop and plumbing fixtures arrived. He kept us informed, arrived on time with his amazing crew of 6 pros, and had the work done within two days.

We run four crews to better serve the community. We work out of several local supply houses, but have four bathrooms and a kitchen on display at Eagle Tile (On Fern hill behind Glenbrook Mall) on which our guys completed all the work. Therefore, potential clients can see the quality of our work first-hand, while not having to pay the overhead for the showroom which normally means lower prices than our competitors but the highest quality standards in the industry. Our company is also certified by the EPA for lead based paint removal. Additional contact names - Stephen Neeley, Melanie Neeley. Additional DBA - Serenity Kitchen. Additional email - [email protected]. Award winning. Award wining.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Assuming you are going for a full remodel for an average-sized basement with a reputable contractor, the process can take up to two weeks or more. Remember that basements have many stairs and often difficult access—it’s not like working in the entryway. The shuttling of materials, increased need for ventilation and safety precautions, and making sure everything can be removed through a doorway all increase time and cost.

Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

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.

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.
