Customers say: True professional

"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. Jose is calm, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile. His crew did a careful, beautiful job, including leaving the house totally cleaned up. We highly recommend Aritas Remodeling & Painting -- this is a pro you can count on to do the job, and do it right."

"It is with great enthusiasm and appreciation that I recommend Sacred Intentions as a contractor, who recently completed a renovation and refinishing of our basement. From the very start of the project, Chris demonstrated exceptional professionalism, craftsmanship, and a remarkable attention to detail. Every aspect of the renovation—from the structural work to the finishing touches—was executed with care, precision, and a clear commitment to quality. The final result exceeded our expectations and has truly transformed our basement into a functional living space. Chris was open and consistent in communication throughout the entire project. He took the time to walk us through the process, explain the timeline and options, and remained responsive and transparent every step of the way. We especially appreciated the way he worked within our budget and offered creative solutions."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

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.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.
