"When we signed the Matrix contract in June 28,2018 for basement work we were told it would be done the end of October or the first of November 2018. We told them that was good because we go to Arizona the end of December 2018. When we left all that was done was rough: framing, plumbing, electrical and ceiling. In May 2019 Matrix started work again and finally June 17, 2019 the final inspection was done. If Matrix overbooked jobs, Matrix should let the customer the customer know and not leave them hanging. Being overbooked was probably why the drywall job and the soffit run to cover the ceiling beam was less than professional. We give the following grades: grade A to the project manager, the other work teams. grade C to Matrix as a company. Thank you, Jack and Bonnie Childs"

"I gave Andrew some blueprints for a mud kitchen I had found on Etsy and he put it together and stained it within a day! It was the perfect birthday present for my daughter. Would hire again!"

"They were on time and finished the job when he said they would - 3 days of hard work later.  Matched and repaired the roof so it all blends in.  On the inside, he did an excellent job repairing/replacing the drywall, including insulation.  The paint was a light lavender in color and he matched it perfectly.  Looks great.

"The replacement of the junction box went just fine - just with some plaster cracking around the box, but that is to be expected in our 100+year old home.  It was nothing the painters we hired couldn't fix when they came through later to paint.  However, the job on the chandelier didn't go exactly as they had planned.  While they were able to secure it properly back to the existing junction box, one of the 12 ornamental glass shades fell to its demise on to the tiled floor.  This was a problem.
I called the manager at Vander Hyde to inquire as to how they deal with cases where the electricians damage the chandeliers they are supposed to be fixing.  I was told that they don't normally damage chandeliers and I would have to wait until he had been able to discuss the situation with the electricians.  And that was my last contact with the manager.  As for the electricians, they told me that it fell after they had stepped outside to get something from their vehicle and therefore they couldn't be blamed for damaging the chandelier.  They then went on to assure me that they could get a replacement shade so not to worry and asked how many I wanted.  I was so happy that we wouldn't have to replace the entire chandelier I told them not to worry about the price of the replacement parts - as long as they got me the parts, all would be well, I would pay for them.
They told me to give them a couple days to get a hold of the replacement parts. ... Well, that has been several months ago.  And still no word from them.  I called several times to Vander Hyde but had no luck.
Hopefully, if they work around expensive chandeliers in your own home - nothing will be accidentally knocked to the floor, because if it does you might end up having to replace the whole thing at your own expense.
This is a pitty.  Because the rest of the work they did was top notch - well, except for the electrical junction box installation which they did a fine job installing.  But, in the process they turned off a water valve within the hidden ceiling in the basement and forgot to turn it back on.  So a day later, I found that our dishes in the dishwasher had food baked on to them because there was no water to clean them.  To fix this they had me pull a bunch of ceiling panels in the basement until I found the valve they had left turned off.  Luckily, nothing was broking in the process - unlike the chandelier.
With all this said - I still really liked the senior electrician who came out.  If it weren't for the lack of follow up on his part and on the manager's regarding the broken chandelier I would use their service again.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.

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.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

The average cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400. Depending on the project's complexity, the price can be as low as $3,500 or exceed $50,200. For a simple project like adding a home office, you might spend between $500 and $3,000. However, a more extensive project, such as adding a bathroom, can range from $6,600 to $16,500. The final cost is influenced by factors like the basement's size and condition, the type of remodel, material choices, your location, and accessibility. For an accurate price, it's best to consult with a basement remodeling team.
