"I cannot say enough about this project and Abe! We had a ?sweaty? basement refinished. Abe walked us through every thorough and comprehensive step that he took to ensure the new living space would be safe and functional for many years to come. His estimate was accurate, his pricing, fair, and the subcontractors that he hired for plumbing and electric were professional, friendly, and swift. We asked Abe for a number of specialty finish carpentry projects and all were finished meticulously. We are still finding little surprises here and there that show just how much he cares about the function and beauty of his work! We had a custom glass shower door built, a hydraulic Murphy bed, and a ?secret bookcase door? leading to my husband?s office. Every single thing came out just beautifully, and all of our friends and neighbors are terribly impressed! We will absolutely be working with Abe again?He?s a master of his craft!"

"Very happy with Blue spruce property management. They made a appointment for an estimate and was here on time. They worked with me on my concerns about weather and temperature issues. They came one day and finished the next. The quality of the fence was great much better than home depot. Good quality posts and very little clean up when they were done. Would highly recommend them."

"This project was supposed to be "phase one" of three projects that we hired NE Renovation to complete.  On day one, the basement was prepped - all carpeting was covered and baseboard heating covers were removed.  Sheetrock was supposed to be installed on the next day, but due to a serious injury to the sub-contractor, that was not done.  Instead, demolition work began on what was supposed to be "phase two" of the project - the remodeling of a bathroom.  We had not been expecting this change in schedule and to be fair, neither did anyone else.  The basement project was put on hold until an alternate plan could be made.  A few weeks later, work began again on the basement.  The sheetrock was installed very well and in quick time.  The plaster work was completed perfectly which was no small task given the length of the walls. Additionally, the paint job was done perfectly.  The new six-panel doors, wall mounted television, upgraded lighting, and new baseboard heating covers helped complete the transition of the space from 1970 to 2012!

The value we received from this project has exceeded our expectations.  We added a pool table and two sectional sofas to complete our new recreational space.  It serves as a great "man cave" as well as a great place for family and friends to hang out.  NE Renovations did a great job renovating our basement."

"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."

"It was fine. The original design didn’t meet my needs based on the information I provided them. However, they revised the plans which worked out better for me. They were able to get the first draft to me pretty quickly."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

Create a checklist, reimagine the space use, set a realistic budget, choose materials and aesthetic details, and get professional support for guidelines and troubleshooting.

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
