"Wolverine Contracting Design + Remodel provided us with exceptional craftsmanship for our renovation. They weren’t our cheapest option but their unique cost-plus process of contracting, clear & transparent labor rates and discounts saved us thousands on our projects. We have never seen a company operate in this manner, but it just made complete sense to us, and it works extremely well. Along the way we were a bit indecisive and made a few changes which added work to the original scope, increased our budget and timeline, however Douglas immediately shifted into another gear and was able to incorporate our changes within the original design. He is extremely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his trade. His communication skills and integrity were second to none. I don’t know how he handles all the stress, but he makes it look easy. All team members and subcontractors were respectful of us and our home and a pleasure to work with as well. We highly recommend Wolverine Contracting and will be contacting them for any future projects."

"We had a good experience working with Ben from Buffalo Contracting. They showed up on time, communicated clearly and got the job done as expected. The work was solid and the space was left clean. No complaints - we would hire them again."

"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"Brent and his crew did an excellent job on my basement remodel. Not knowing where to start, Brent provided industry knowledge and experience to help narrow down my options and guide me in the right direction on choosing the right products. Him and his crew were clean and polite during construction process. I was comfortable with them in my home and definitely would recommend them on any project in the future. Thanks High Road!"

"We recently had our basement remodeled by Al and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included finishing the basement along with adding a bedroom and a full bathroom, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Al and his team were professional, trustworthy, and incredibly detail-oriented. They offered honest opinions throughout the process, which we truly appreciated, and helped guide us in making the best decisions for our space. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship really show in the final product. The project was completed within a tight timeframe, and they were very accommodating to our schedule. Anytime we had questions, minor issues, or wanted to make changes, they addressed them quickly and were always responsive to calls and texts. We highly recommend Al and his team and will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"Urban and his team did a great job. All the work was done to our expectations and done professionally. What few problems arose (and there will always be some problems) were relatively minor and handled quickly and efficiently. Urban stayed in contact throughout the entire process. My wife considers him a lifesaver. He made the project run smoothly, swiftly and FINISHED ON TIME. I would give more than 5 stars if I could."

"We had Tersigni & Sons Construction install a bathroom in our basement. From the very beginning, Pete was very professional and communications were exceptional. We always knew what to expect and when during the project which is critical when both spouses work. Pete completed the project while working with our schedules . Finished product is exactly what we were looking for ... thank you Pete ! We will be in touch when we're ready to complete the rest of our basement."

"Brett DeWeese and his contractors have been amazing! Brett kept us well informed of the contractors and when they would be out. The contractors were very professional and so helpful. DeWeese & Associates did an outstanding job on our basement/bath renovation and we plan on using them again to install an under deck drainage system/ceiling, so we can transform the space into a req room."

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.

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.

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.
