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."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.
