"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've worked with Dave now for several years on projects of less than $1000 and projects up to $100,000. No matter the cost, the same attention to detail is given. I find Dave to be honest, fair, trustworthy, and very hard working. Most recently, D&R Improvements repaired significant structural issues, installed new windows and Hardy siding. It was a large, daunting project, but throughout the process I had confidence in Dave and Wayne's abilities to restore the home to a condition I can be proud of. I strongly recommend them for any renovation, addition, or repair."

"Penate Tile is great, I had them refurbish a basement room and build a screen porch and both projects were excellent. On time, affordable, and great craftsmanship."

"We remodeled our downstairs basement for my parents. Mission added a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, walk in closet, and a den. They also installed hardwood flooring. Kevin was always extrememly friendly and always a pleasure to deal wit. Completing a remodel of this size, of course there were issues. However, Kevin handled them and we were able to get the job completed. My parents love the space!!!"

"Kelvin Funes, owner of KF Remodeling is a very experienced contractor in all aspects of home building and remodeling. They have done four jobs for me this year from Feb to July of 2025. Jobs included; shower/bathroom, plumbing, electrical, drywall, and painting. Some were major plumbing and installation of wired smoke detectors. Not easy but Kelvin always tells me his job is to solve problems. And he does. Twice I needed to call him back to handle small over looked items and he returned promptly to handle them. Kelvin's knowledge, experience, and advice contributed greatly to the success of my projects, I am impressed and well pleased. Thank you KF Remodeling."

"James was very responsive and we worked out a date for him to come to the house.  He showed up on time and got to work.  He decided to start with the gas water heater in the basement (and gave me a recommendation should it break down) and flushed the water out.  He then checked the water pressure to my clothes washer and the laundry sink I had installed previously. He also checked the visible pipes and water main in the basement (and gave me an estimate on replacement).  Then he checked that the toilet was working fine and no leaks were visible anywhere.  All-in-all he was very honest and professional in his assessment of my home's plumbing.  Very good info to have."

"I really can’t say enough good things about GEA. I recently moved to the area and was unsure of who to work with for a home improvement renovation. I sourced estimates from 7 different contractors - Junior was the ONLY contractor who went up to the attic during the estimate to inspect the joists and support structure. He was also the only one who wore a mask (unprompted) due to Covid. That gave me the indication early on that he would be thorough and professional. The work itself was impeccable - different crew members have their specialities (flooring, carpentry, electrical, etc.) and were assigned accordingly. They were always prompt and respectful and they cleaned up after every work day. Junior was extremely thorough and addressed every single concern I had. The price was more than fair, the work was excellent, and everything was performed to code. I am 100% satisfied and very grateful that I found GEA - I have recommended them to all of my neighbors and will be using them for all of my future home improvement projects!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable.
