"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

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

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.

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.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
