"RORHI completed our basement renovation. They did fantastic work, and all the contractors were highly professional: the framers, the insulators, the drywallers, the electrician, and the finishers. They went above and beyond to accommodate some special requests, like installing a commercial dehumidifier and finishing the walls of the storage closet, which were not part of the original scope, which greatly enhanced the finished look. We had a great experience working with Evan, Mike, and Matt (the initial estimator), as well as Inmer (finishes and framing), Eddie (painter), and the electrician. Despite minor miscommunications leading to necessary changes, they promptly addressed our concerns, sending someone immediately or the following day to resolve issues. Overall, we were impressed by RORHI's dedication and responsiveness, and we plan to hire them again for our next projects."

"Can't recommend more highly, total pros. Chad and Matt were here for some straightforward door installs, however the project quickly became far more complicated due to uncovering extensive rot and damage. They stayed until the project was done right and we are thrilled with the new door. We are having them back soon for further projects, and will be using Mountain Creek for all upcoming house work that is in their wheelhouse. Again, total pros."

"Rattigan & Sons are amazing! At least 11 out of 5 stars! The quality of their work is exceptional and they use the highest quality building materials! Everyone with Rattigan & Sons are top of the line experts! I can’t easily describe how happy I am that Rattigan & Sons remodeled my kichen and how much I love everything about my new kitchen and how perfect it turned out! Sean Rattigan is incredible! He’s so smart and expert at every aspect of construction and he’s amazing to work with! He’s super thoughtful, down to earth, nice, funny guy and he will straight talk and tell you how it is. He’s fantastic to communicate with and he’s a true dog lover! I have 3 pups and they love Sean! The craftsmanship and experience of Rattigan & Sons is excellent beyond anything I ever could have imagined! The cabinets and countertops are the absolutely highest quality! Everything was installed perfectly! I feel so much joy every time I walk into my new kitchen! It is a true masterwork!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Create a checklist, reimagine the space use, set a realistic budget, choose materials and aesthetic details, and get professional support for guidelines and troubleshooting.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

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.

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.
