"It was a pleasure again working with Yosuary Diaz and his team on our unfinished basement renovation. We hired them before for whole house interior painting. I would definitely hire him again for other home renovations. Him and his crew are great and are very skilled at what they do. Diaz was not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive contractor, but overall, well worth it! We had our entire basement gutted out and rebuilt. Diaz and his team rebuilt everything from the sub-flooring, new walls, and plumbing...and other major infrastructure that is not always thought of. We love our new basement with a complete bathroom! We highly recommend Yosuary Diaz and his team if you have a major home project."

"Francisco, Honika and the HomeBreakthorugh team always do a wonderful job in coming up with ideas and designs that we wouldn't think of, and which often will save us money. They are also very responsive to requests, questions, and concerns. We are very happy with our basement. Home Breakthrough has also done a bathroom and a kitchen reno for us as well. Very good work, and reasonably priced."

"My basement floor was previously engineered hardwood and was ruined from water damage. Ronal had the floor removed and replaced it with tile and new quarter round to finish it off. The project was difficult: Ronal had to coordinate with other contractors in the house and I wasn't on site for any of it. His work was amazing. It exceeded my expectations and they were so fast!"

"I have hired General Construction Millworks (also known as General Remodeling Group) twice now, both for renovations to my basement. Each renovation involved several components, including planning/remodeling, obtaining local permits, demolition, wall framing, drywall repair, electrical work, plumbing, installing flooring, painting, and more. The first job I hired them for was 4 years ago...they completely remodeled the family room side of my basement, completely removing some stairs and replacing them with new ones, along with a complete renovation of that room and attached areas. Then recently, this year in 2019, I hired them to renovate the other side of my basement, which is the laundry room, storage, and 1/2 bath side, in which they installed cabinetry, flooring, moved some plumbing, installed a sump pump with battery back up, and more. I have worked with several contractors, specialists, and handyman services, and my experience with this company has by far been the best. I find them to have competitive and fair pricing, they are honest and transparent about the work they do, and they follow all local codes and best practices. They also involve the homeowner in all issues and decisions. Like any relationship, the client still has to be clear about their expectations and follow up on their concerns along the way - and this company is very good about working with their clients. I found their customer service to be top notch, especially the head contractor I worked with, I had his cell number the whole time and he was very responsive to calls and texts. He made sure our project met the expectations we outlined in our contracts/agreements. Their work ethic is great, their pricing is competitive and fair, their quality of workmanship top-notch, and their customer service is outstanding. I can not recommend them enough."

"We hired Camilla to remodel a spare upstairs bedroom closet for a stacked washer/dryer. She estimated the project to last 7-10 days. She was able to get it done in 2 days! We had furniture to move and cover over three floors (basement to 2nd floor) in order to get the electrical and plumbing up to the closet, but being put out only 2 days for such extensive work is amazing! The workers were clean, efficient and courteous. Highly recommended."

Basement Remodel questions, 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.

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.

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.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
