Get matched with top basement remodelers in Brandywine, MD

"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"I hired this contractor to level my basement floor, install a backup sump pump, and add a laundry sink. The basement looks better, but had significant problems. THE GOOD:The laundry sink and sump pump work properly alongside the existing drain. THE CONCERNS:The sump pump was initially installed incorrectly, removing the drain. I was told both couldn't fit due to equipment size. Only after speaking with the owner was a solution found.The floor leveling fell short. The self-leveler had grey and white patches. When I raised concerns, I was told this was normal and it doesn't come in colors,contradicting my research. Since I didn't discuss coloring upfront, I paid an additional $850 for epoxy paint. Even after painting, the floor remained uneven with noticeable depressions. The door was left unlocked with keys inside rather than in the lockbox. BOTTOM LINE:The basement is improved but not level as promised. Be very specific about expectations upfront and be prepared to push back on issues"

"They were prompt, professional, very thorough on the plans, designs and everything about the renovations."

"Top Remodeling's basement renovation has added value to our home. The team's dedication to perfection is evident in every detail. Highly satisfied!"

"LFC Services is one of the best companies I have ever worked with, and my new basement is beautiful. They are very professional and courteous and ensured that everything from electrical plugs, plumbing, carpet and flooring installation was done perfectly. I have recommended them to other homeowners and will definitely use their services again in the near future."

"Installed ceramic tiles in my basement. Fair pice. Were dependable and courteous. Would use them again."

"Extremely well! Mike provided, in considerable detail, the process of renovating my basement. I was marginally aware of what the renovation would require. Mike added significant clarity ."

"Melvin and his crew are outstanding! I was amazed by his skills, professionalism, honesty and care. I reached out to him desperately on a Sunday, after the first person I hired did not come with the proper equipment to paint the interior of my home. Melvin came out to do the job THE SAME DAY. I gave him more to do when I realized he had a broader skill set. He wrapped up the entire project: painting, lighting, cabinetry AND custom shelves in two days. I will definitely hire him again as I map out other home improvements projects I’ve got left to do."

"We are ecstatic about how our basement renovation turned out! When my husband and I met Chris in March 2021, he was very professional and knowledgeable about what it would for our project. The cost estimate he provided was reasonable and we were able to stay in budget. His team was polite and had good work ethic. Chris was very engaged in the entire project and kept us aware of progress and delays. In addition to the project, they included a few other items that really helped us (I.e., electrical socket in the front of house, cable wiring in the living room for better signaling throughout the house)They did great work and we will be using their services for future projects! We would highly recommend The North Star Companies!"

"I had two bathrooms remodeled and a small one built in the basement. I interviewed 4 prospects; Sam came, understood my vision, and was able to provide a great price. We discussed my vision thoroughly and Sam sent me to a couple of places that he worked with to find items I was interested in. I was able to find the materials I wanted to complete my project and then some. The workers were awesome. My lead installer was Daniel, he was more of a perfectionist than I was. He understood what I wanted and asked questions each step of the way. I loved working with Daniel and his partner 'little man'. My advice to home owners: First, know what you want. Take the time to have a vision, do not leave it all up to the contractor, especially if you are of different ethnicity, your vision will never be the same as the contractor. Second, if you can afford it, do some pre-shopping if you want specific items. One of the reasons Sam and I worked so well was because I purchased specific items I had envisioned in my bathroom. I did not leave everything up to the contractor/designer. Third, talk to the installers (workers) and Sam as the remodeling is going on. Each night take a moment to walk through the area and annotate what you do and don't like, no one is a mind reader nor can they catch everything. Forth and most important, if you receive a price, budget 10% - 15% more. Even on the HGTV shows the homeowner more often than not has to pay additional costs because you never know what will be uncovered during demo or what you will want as the renovation gets on the way. Build that buffer in, if you don't, then don't blame the contractor when the costs increases. Finally, if you have a specific taste and don't pre-shop then be prepared to see the cost rise. Take ownership of your project. In the end you will be more happy with the final outcome. I plan to use Sam again when I am ready to do the Kitchen. Wandra Arnold"
