"Custom 32’x36’ Goldiva Goldens LLC showroom plus 14x32 pergola and 14x67 pergola plus a small bathroom in the basement; re-tile basement area too. Scott Turcott, Tyler & Michael are great to work with, great communications. In 20 months of building my showroom there wasn’t a single disagreement. If something “didn’t work” as envisioned, like an incinerator toilet that burned the ash, Scott gave me the options. They’re a fabulous team!!"

"Brendon replaced my kitchen subfloors and put a new linoleum, full trim all the way around, a bathroom bifold, and even put a special touch to the trim, so I'd think of my late farther who had worked in that same kitchen many moons ago. Brendon had some challenges with old school techniques, but worked long and hard to end with flooring, trim and doorway that was beautiful and I was pleased with the outcome."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

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.

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.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
