"Had a wonderful, positive experience hiring Conley Inc. to restore the rotting logs on my home at a reasonable price. Steven returned my phone call promptly, listened to my concerns, investigated best products to use, and explained methods he would use to restore the logs. I found Steven and his crew to be friendly, respectful, helpful, and hardworking. They finished the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves. Steven found more soft spots on my logs than I knew I had, and took the initiative to fix those with no extra cost to me. I am so thankful and appreciative for that and the awesome job they did, that Iâ  m having them return to do a kitchen/bathroom remodeling project. Thanks, Steven and crew!"

"Bellevue Builders did such an amazing job renovating my bathroom. From the day they started the job to the day they ended, all of the work and cleanup was done meticulously. I met with the owner who was so responsive and thorough — any questions I had he answered! Very professional team who not only took really good care of us but did some beautiful tile work! Above and beyond expectations. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs quality work."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.
