"We hired Deni (Salas Handyman Services) to build an add-on front porch to our ranch-style house. From the start of the process to the very end, we were pleased with his work. He was very communicative, up front and reasonable about material and pricing, and was very patient with us when we had any questions or concerns. He did quality work, paid close attention to detail, and ensured that we got exactly what we were looking for. We already have him in mind for future projects and would recommend him to anyone looking for handyman work."

"I called Grant. He looked over my project. Told me what he could do for me. He did some Masonary work. He repaired some old plumbing for me. He did such a great job that I called him back for a Painting job as well. He painted my cathedral ceiling and did an excellent job! He was prompt and his communication with me with spot on. I will certainly use him again., Grant is awesome!"

"KY Lake Remodeling were awesome to work with on multiple projects we've done. They built our Barndominium, decks and custom built in bunk beds. In all the projects Scott and Kim communicated honestly, timely and let us know of any potential impacts to the projects. Great craftsmanship and beautiful custom wood work. They were great at coming up with elegant solutions to our special requests. Highly recommend KY Lake Remodeling for any of you custom build or remodeling needs."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.

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?

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.
