Sage was recommended to me by a neighbor and I immediately looked them up on Angie's List. I saw that they were 'A' rated, a Super Service Award winner (2014) and had 3 nominations for POH. What could go wrong? Well, a lot could go wrong. I contacted Sage roofing and we set a time to...

Every time I have used Kevin he has shown up at the time we set up. His estimates were always reasonable and much better than other estimates for these jobs. He came highly recommended by VP Supply at Winton Place. Kevin is very personable, does a great job, and leaves the area clean. I...

Hank and one of his crew came out and resealed one basement wall, as well as fixing the exit line from the sump pump. They also plated a couple of areas that had a slight amount of moisture due to an extreme snow melt-off and heavy rain. We had one problem with moisture at the wall that...

Kevin and his crew began by removing one wall and door into the old enclosed kitchen. They then installed new header where old wall separated the kitchen from the family room and built a half wall with bar counter. After removing all old cabinets and flooring, they then took all necessary...

Showed up exactly on time and was done in one day. Installed 8 windows 2 of which were picture windows. They all work well and installation looks perfect. Home was left in very clean condition. This is the 3rd remodel project Kevin Hall Builder has done for us - all turned out excellent.

The basement has been completely dry during the rainy season and the repair looks neat. The young men were very polite and professional. The job went exactly as it was explained during the initial interview.

The builder moved a camper onto my property and lived there during construction. He used my shower and laundry facilities throughout without compensation. He often worked in the home as early as 6am and as late as 10pm which greatly interfered with my daily life. However, the builder did...

"I have been unable to successfully engage more than 1 of the "Pros" on Angi for large and varying construction and remodel projects. In fact I have had only one contact me and he REFUSED to accommodate me during initial contact. I have retained the texts that I did receive from him before he shut me out. I explained very clearly that I had special needs that I needed an accommodation for a few initial contacts. Those would be being our conversation through text or email as I could not immediately use a phone. Any common person would look at my request and see that there was something behind the initial contact limitations. He then acted as if I wouldn't be willing to meet in person so he could see the job site to which I stated that an in person contact wouldn't be an issue, just using a phone. Apparently the contractor had more than enough work because from that point on he ghosted me. I attempted to reinitiate contact for almost a month but was never replied to. Not that I should have to ever explain the reason why I needed a short-term accommodation, nor should anyone in a similar situation as I, for contact either through text, email or in person, but suffice to say I have some personal limitations and this experience has left me with the impression that he is intolerant of special needs (aka disabilities). I want others to be aware of this contractor."

"I could not be more pleased with my home remodel and construction of a new storage shed performed by Bob Thornton. The remodeled area matches perfectly with my existing home.

Bob has in-depth knowledge of all aspects of construction, from foundation to finish-carpentry and all steps in between, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, flooring and drywall. I threw a lot of curve balls at Bob during the construction, and he handled them all in a kind and professional manner. He worked with me throughout the building process to ensure I would be pleased with the final results. The work was performed promptly and within budget. What stands out the most is Bobs attention to detail, quality craftsmanship and use of superior materials. Bob exceeded my expectations and made the entire process fun. I was almost sad when the work was completed, as it was such a pleasure working with Bob and his crew. I would not think of hiring anyone else for any future projects. I highly recommend Bob Thorton for any job, big or small."

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Empire, MI
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.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:
Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel
Installing light fixtures yourself
Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones
Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary
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.
