"Hired them to redo my bathroom. 120-year-old house where nothing is square. They came in and worked with me to get what I wanted. I was extremely happy with all the options they showed me and m just over the moon at the results. Felice did all the planning and helped me pick out the colors and options that I wanted and her crew led by Caleb came in and did an outstanding job. I absolutely couldn't be any happier and have hired them to re redo my attic next. They took that old run down bathroom and made it something that I'm smiling. Every time I look at it. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on any project. We even changed plans a few times and they took it all in stride and just adjusted along the way. Extremely happy."

"Our remodeling projects were significant and complicated: a full basement that was in shambles (partially-finished with a haphazard layout) and an upstairs hall bath that was outdated and suffering from plumbing issues. To put it bluntly, we had no idea what to do with these two problem spaces and no sense of where to start. We solicited ideas and estimates from multiple builders and remodelers, and the best response, by far, came from Matt and Redbird Remodeling. Some of the qualities that make Matt an outstanding contractor: always personable, deeply knowledgeable and experienced, quick to respond to questions or concerns, and highly professional. He has well-established relationships with range of suppliers and other contractors, and, based on our observations, they respect him and enjoy working with him. Weâ ve undertaken a half-dozen remodeling projects over the years, but weâ ve never encountered anyone with Mattâ s particular combination of abilities and qualities. He can formulate a vision for a space, communicate each step of the process in easy-to-understand terms, and then carry everything to completionâ in a timely fashion and while staying on budget. No exaggeration: that was our experience with Redbird. We were especially impressed by (and grateful for) Mattâ s flexibility and willingness to respond to our queries and worries as each project unfolded. He articulated his sense of what each space could be while remaining open to modifications and changes along the way, whether structural, aesthetic, or both. Matt listened to our vague ideas and desires, shaped them into coherent remodeling plans, and then, in what felt very much like a collaboration, produced spaces that are functional, beautiful, and add significant value to our home. The only drawbacks we encountered during our projects involved some damaged materialsâ issues that perhaps could have been identified earlier in the process--but, when those problems occurred, Matt responded immediately to remedy them (in one case driving several hours to locate replacements for fixtures that had been discontinued). We also want to emphasize that Matt hires great people and trains them well. He was on site himself and working with them most days, and, on the occasions when he couldnâ t be there, his guys handled everything smoothly. Moreover, they made sure to clean up the work spaces at the end of every day and check in with us before leaving. Everyone from Redbird was courteous, on time, and very respectful of our family life (they even became friends with our two cats!). Our daughters never felt like their lives were disrupted, and we rarely had to alter our daily routines. Bottom line: from start to finish, Redbird Remodeling did a fantastic job. They turned an odd-shaped, largely non-functional basement into a fabulous living area with tons of storage, a full bathroom, and a new laundry room--and they gave us a gorgeous upstairs hall bath that our daughters love. We wholeheartedly recommend Redbird and definitely will work with them again for future remodeling projects."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.
