"Bob is everything you’d want in a contractor/builder. My wife & I did some major renovation work on our house in Thompsonville and Bob was our contractor. He was communicative, cost conscious, conscientious, timely and he and his crew have outstanding skills. We are delighted with the results. If you’re familiar with This Old House, Bob is a combination of Tom Silva and Kevin O’Connor. His carpentry skills and acumen are second to none and he went above and beyond the call of duty in working with various suppliers to help us make our material selections. You may find contractors as good as Bob, but you won’t find one any better. He comes highly recommended."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"I hired Andrew and his crew to redo my Kitchen & Flooring in my condo, downtown Charlevoix. Not only did he completed the work ahead of schedule, he communicated promptly with me throughout the entire process. From design to execution; the quality of work was beyond my expectations. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a high quality remodel."

"Joel and his team did a great job. Arrived on time, were diligent in their work and paid attention to the details. They stuck right with the project until completion. At the end Joel took the time to review everything to make sure it finished as expected. Well done. And I already have more work lined up for Joel and his team."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The average cost of remodeling a basement is $30 to $75 per square foot. If your space is unfinished and looks like it may need more help, use the higher number when calculating your estimated basement remodeling costs. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional 20% to the top of your estimate to cover any “what if” situations.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

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.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.
