"This is my second time hiring John to do renovations in my home. I had such a great initial experience that I had John remodel my bathroom. As was before, John is a pleasure to work with, great at communicating about timeline and his availability, and does great quality work. John removed and installed a new toilet, vanity, lighting, and retrofitted the existing pipes. He also repaired drywall as needed, re-mounted the toilet on a newly installed floor, and installed new baseboards and quarter round. His attention to detail really shows in his work. I couldn’t have asked for a better finished product. I’ll be reaching out to John for any future renovations."

"After looking for someone to repair a porch that was collapsing on a rental property, I found DLB Construction. Dwayne was incredibly easy to work with, gave us a quote that was fair and did work in a timely manner. I live out of state from where the property is, but Dwayne made it easy to manage the project. Once we agreed on a price, he and his team were out at the house and repaired the porch in a timely manner, making it look brand new in the process. Would work with them again, without hesitation."

"After talking to our neighbors who referred them we decided to hire them. We new the repairs and renovations would be extensive and we wanted someone with tons of experience. We signed a contract and had the job scheduled. The project has been done for a few months and we are still happy. After the work was done we had a small issue with one of our cabinets. They completely honored their warranty and kept their word. Our basement is no longer flooding and our newly designed kitchen and bath are absolutely beautiful. They did some really fantastic work."

"We are so glad that we hired Tom to do this work! He did a fabulous job with the remodeling project! Here are some things that we noted along the way: 1) He was careful to keep dust confined as best as possible. 2) We didn't give him a key to the house, but told him that he could just exit through the front door at the end of each day, leaving it unlocked. However, he wanted the house to be secured for us, so he locked the front door, and just stepped over the garage door sensor as it was closing. We were appreciative of his consideration and ingenuity. 3) He placed drop cloths from the garage door all the way through the house to the bathroom so that he wouldn't track up the floor and carpet. (He removed them at the end of each day) 4) He always showed up when he said he would. If he was running a bit late for some reason, he would send a text saying when he would be there. 5) He was dedicated to our project alone for the entire time it took to complete. 6) He worked consistently each day - from around 9:00 am - 4:30 pm. 7) He kept in touch with us constantly, showing us things, wanting our opinions, letting us know if he was going to be picking something up, etc. 8) He paid attention to detail, wanting everything to be as perfect as possible. 9) He listened well, and went out of his way to do little things that were important to us. 10) He was friendly and easy to talk with. 11) He was entirely trustworthy. We left him working in our house all day while we were gone."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

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.

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

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. 

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.
