"We had our kitchen floor demolished to the sub floor, sub floor replaced and the floor refilled. It looks fantastic and the work was done quickly and with skill. Everyone at Stonebrook is always wonderful; they redid our basement too. As long as they’re in business we won’t use another contractor."

"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."

"Lucas was able to install a bathroom fan for us, install a vanity, paint our basement ceilings, install lights in our basement, and complete a closet install in our upstairs bedroom. This work was completed within a timely manner and Lucas was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. He was very thorough in his work as well."

"I was prepping a rental house to sell and was trying to coordinate everything so it would not be vacant for more than a few weeks. I had hired another company and they had just stopped responding. That left me with a really tight timeline and most other companies either scoffed at at the timeline or just did not respond. My experience with JAM was the the complete opposite. Jeff responded quickly, listened to what I needed and my timeline, and got back to me quickly with an estimate. He came back with a fair estimate and promised to get it done within a week even though they were already booked. Jimmy did an amazing job on the tile work and Jeff and Jimmy came back on Saturday to finish the job. The tile work had outstanding attention to detail and, knowing I am pretty detail oriented, asked for my input to ensure the work met my expectations. As a bonus, they were also great with my tenants dog! I would absolutely hire again, in fact I am about to call them for an estimate on my bathroom remodel."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

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. 

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

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.
