"We have used JB Construction twice for remodeling projects! Our second project was a 10ft two-story addition on the back our house, mainly featuring a new master bathroom. They did a great job with this large project. Joe is often personally on-site working alongside his team, and his crew is consistent every day and very knowledgeable and friendly. Absolutely recommend!"

"Kent did a great job with our basement remodel.. He was quick with his very reasonable quote and did an excellent job. He came up with a solution for our bathroom/closet addition that we hadnâ t thought about before. The project took longer than either of us expected, but it was worth the wait. Most of that was due to it being an old basement addition and things just being more difficult to work around than anticipated. I would most definitely hire him again."

"We hired Bryan Casey Construction to finish our basement. They did quality work from the initial design and layout to the final touch ups. Each stage of the work was generally on time and the workers were professional and helpful. Julie was great to provide design consultation and kept us up to date on the project status. Bryan was on site to oversee pieces of the project, as needed. They were quick to fix any issues that were encountered along the way. We are very pleased with the end result and highly recommend the company!"

"We had a complete master bath remodel, tearing down to studs. Mark was extremely helpful and attentive to details and helping us figure out what was possible and fit the space functionally and looked good. He kept us informed about progress and upcoming tasks. Super-helpful, good communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and the way you want. This is our second bathroom remodel, and he’s on our list for our next project too."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

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!

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.
