"I found PuroClean on Angie's List and am so pleased that I called them! Just a few days after buying a new home, a torrential downpour overwhelmed a storm drain and rainwater entered my basement through the basement door, soaking the carpet. I called PuroClean and spoke with Lauren just before 10am. By noon, Erickson was at the house assessing the damage. He provided a recommendation and an estimate. By 2pm, Zach arrived to start the job. He pulled up the water damaged carpet, making sure to do the cuts in the straightest and cleanest line possible so adding new carpet back would be less difficult, and two pieces of baseboard. He also humored my overly excited 6-year old daughter who was eager to watch him work. I was impressed by how courteous everyone was and how they appeared to work as a team unit. They were courteous, responsive, and did a great job. Hopefully I won't need them again, but if I do, I will call PuroClean."

"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!

"We had interviewed a couple different builders, and Michael made us the most comfortable! They listened to everything we wanted throughout the entire process. They are quality people who I trust. They even do work for us while we are not even home! We just contracted them again to finish our basement! They are doing it exactly the way we want, without us being there. -Dan"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

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.
