"Also, Kohl Renovations built a 10x20 deck. It's gorgeous! We liked working with Brandon so well, we hired him to install lights and outlets throughout the basement. Very professional. Communicated extremely well. Asked all the right questions, so the job was done exactly like I hoped. I'm so happy with both jobs. I would highly recommend Kohl Renovations."

"Clayton and his crew were very professional. We had some major repairs to a historic home, and they did a great job of making things match. They completed the work they were hired to do and did a few extras along the way. The job was completed on schedule."

"Our house was built in 1968 and our basement was very outdated and dark. James was our general contractor and helped with the design decisions, procuring materials, and the dealings with the subcontractors. Work was excellent and the completed job exceeded our expectations! We will definitely contact James for any future projects!"

"This was a bathroom remodel; kitchen remodel is still in the planning stages. Bryan is acutely observant and came up with several ideas that were great improvements over mine. But I can't say enough about his crew! Outstanding! Quiet, courteous, respectful, enthusiastic, careful, and concerned about customer satisfaction. Top level skills. Our home is 72 years old and full of hidden surprises that can be very frustrating. Bryan and the crew faced the problems that arose with aplomb and confidence. Looking forward to the kitchen remodel!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

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.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.
