"Dillon Contracting was a Great Experience. Tom Dillon and I put a plan together to finish my basement.I was nervous seeing that I never invested this kind of funds towards an home improvement project. I had heard all the horror story about contractors leaving customers high and dry. I had a couple other quotes from contractors competing for the job. Dillions was not the least expensive but Tom Dillion came over to me to be honest. Tom steered me but valued my opinion. My job probably wasn't the biggest job that Dillon Contracting has constructed but I was impressed with the attention to detail in which Dillon Contracting team gave my project. The team that Dillon Contracting assigned to our project were the best that I have ever witness. When our guest come to visit. All we hear from them is. Who finish your basement follow by them saying. If my basement was like this. I would never leave home. By the way if you decide to go with Dillon Contracting tell Greg and the Crew Hello for me."

"Craig and his crew are awesome, I’m So glad I picked Artistic Construction and Design !!! I got 3 bids for my basement project, all highly rated on “Angie” and Craig was the lowest ……by over $20,000 !!! The best part is that Craig designed everything and gave us a blueprint. His finish crew (Chris and Kenny’s ) work was excellent and there crew shows up every day at 7am till finished ……literally found a diamond in the ruff !"

"Best decision I have EVER made hands down was choosing SHB. I called multiple companies prior and never felt confident in going through with my remodel until I met Jerrod. He was honest, professional, friendly and consistent, along with his whole team. I know if I need anything done in the future I will call him first without hesitation."

"Did a fantastic job remodeling our basement for the purpose of reselling our home. Helped us keep the costs down, while still getting nice results. Brett and John worked with us to get past some design problems and had good suggestions on how to handle things. Didn't hesitate to discuss the job with us and listened to our input. Will definitely hire them again."

"They did a really good job and they stand behind their work. The prices are competitive and they take pride in their work. I had a really old front door that was not insulated and they put in a new one with plenty of insulation. They also put in a new storm door and a garage side door that meant making a new doorway that's sealed properly. They answered all my questions and were respectful of the property"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

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.

Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don’t skip it!

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
