"I had a great experience working with Emerald remodeling to redo the bathroom and layout in the basement of our home. They came highly recommended from a friend and delivered a significantly lower bid from other estimates from both a cost and timeline standpoint. Throughout the process, the owner was very patient with our queries and was a great communicator, often responding quickly to our questions and helping us through any changes in direction the project needed. The end result was exactly the basement bathroom setup we needed for our family. I could not recommend Emerald Remodeling enough, and will certainly work with them on any future projects. Thank you!"

Customers say: True professional

"The remodeling went very well. It was completed on the day it was promised. The quality of work is very good. Now I don't have to worry that there maybe water leak on the wall. Ariel was here everyday to oversee the work; his crews are very professional."

"I found Nick (Nick Holker Construction) through Home Advisor and of the handful of bids we got to finish our basement, we decided to hire Nick. I was acting as the general contractor and would be doing some of the work myself, but I had Nick do the framing, doors, and trim. From the beginning of the project to the very end, Nick was always professional, on time, accommodating, fairly priced and did excellent work. I would have absolutely no problem hiring Nick again!!"

"Rick and his team were wonderful to work with. They helped us with design, worked with our budget, and were always timely. They pay attention to detail, and care about quality. This was a big project for our family. Rick and his team completed a kitchen remodel, new siding, all new flooring on main level of home, new ceiling finish, electrical and plumbing. Rick and his team became part of family during this 5 week project and were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them for any remodeling or siding project. There were no surprises and they offered great communication during the project. I would use them again in a heartbeat. We couldn't be happier with the new kitchen and siding."

"Dean Johnson Homes is about the best experience I've had with a contractor both for commercial and residential jobs. Dean is very knowledgeable and has more experience under his belt than most people in the business. He and his crew are very friendly and super efficient. This is a guy who answers his phone and answers all your questions, no matter how basic. I can't say enough good things... The end result of our remodel looks great! High quality craftsmanship. Dean isn't afraid to get his hands dirty either. Any problems that came up were solved. Our job may have been smaller than the usual jobs he does but he definitely took care of us!"

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.

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.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on large renovations and major remodels. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.
