"If I could give more stars I would! Mark installed a beautiful wood tongue and groove ceiling for us. Performed kitchen tear out and prepared it for new cabinets and appliances, painted cathedral living room and kitchen. and repaired our gutters. We were extremely pleased with his work. He'll be coming back to work on floor support when our new garage doors arrive and to install a new front door. He's very reliable, professional and priced reasonably."

"I hired this contractor to do a complete, full-house interior remodel based on several excellent reviews from prior customers, and he and his team exceeded all of our expectations. In addition to being highly skilled, he was professional, dependable, reasonable on costs, patient, and a pleasure to work with. Best of all, he and his team did excellent quality work. He also made a number of useful recommendations to enhance the overall look of our finished project. We consider ourselves lucky to have found HTR Interiors and would hire this contractor again without any hesitation. A real find in the interior remodeling field."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing 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. 

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
