".We did a walk around and pointed out which areas needed repairs, they fixed it thoroughly. Outside painting looked great , they gutted out the inside. The electrician and plumber did repairs. At present time, we are remodeling in stages. The next stage will be at a later date, and will be some hallways added in along with the rest of the interior work.

"Richard was flexible with us since the bank kept changing the closing date. It came to the point that the carpet was being installed a day after Richard's 2 men started. They decided to start working as soon as we closed on the house. Richard and his men bought the paint as soon as we closed and called him to confirm closing. The two men stayed that night until the 3 bedrooms were done( they chose to do so on their own, not us asking) since the next day the carpet was being torn out and replaced. They finished the painting and repairing the one corner siding piece before their expected finish date. The two guys who did the work were personable and professional. They kept us updated with their timeline. Richard called us during the work to see if there was anything we needed or concerned about. Next year we are thinking about remodeling the kitchen. We will be calling Richard first. He was professional yet made us feel like we have known him for awhile."

"This project was to replace some subfloor in my moms house. They showed up everyday when they where scheduled. Did the project in a very minimally avassive manner not disturbing her at all. They performed high quality work and I have never seen a contractor clean up as they performed the work and at the end of the day housekeeping was the best I have ever seen. You could not tell they had been there not 1 piece of dust left behind. I would strongly recommend Todd to do any project."

"Overall it went well. We had a few bumps but David was always available to be sure we were happy. It took about 3 weeks longer to complete the project than what was originally quoted. We had some problems with workers not showing up as promised. But there were others that were very reliable. We were very appreciative of Dan, when the original granite company we had ordered from was unable to do the job, he knew someone in that work that we could contact. Exquisite was so nice and came to our aid getting the job done so there was no further delay. Our kitchen is beautiful and is all that we envisioned. In addition, they were priced within our budget.

"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

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.
