"The owner is Jack Wagner and he does his own work. I highly recommend that gentleman. I will give him thumbs up. A few years ago, he did a complete remodel of my kitchen. It was an excellent job; it was under budget and on time. He was just hard-working and he completed the job wonderfully. The other thing that he did was to install a hood recently for my parent’s house. As long as you are flexible on time, because he is pretty busy, if it’s a small job he will be able to get it in after two weeks. I mean he got in, completed it in one afternoon and was done and out. He charged very reasonably. The hood was just $175, all the small jobs are under $200 and the major kitchen remodel was $16,000 on labor.  I will absolutely use him again."

"Fantastic experience from start to finish. They quoted quickly, started the same week, and communicated clearly when additional framing damage was found — complete with photos and an updated quote. They kept everything clean and treated our home with real care. Highly recommend."

"This was a big job. The old 2 story house was a total fixer-upper. They did all the walls, ceilings, and completely remodeled the bathrooms and kitchen. It turned out great! The kitchen is gorgeous and so is the whole house. They were very good about protecting the original trim and hardwood floors. They are very nice professional people, and they are very neat and tidy. They worked with our budget, and made great recommendations on how to save money. I recommend them to everyone I know."

"Derek created two bedrooms out of one large bedroom. From framing to drywall to creating closets to all the trim work. Hired him to also finish off a lower level recreation room. Also added closet and full bathroom. Did all the framing and drywall. All the trim work. Found his work exceptional so hired Derek to remodel our master bathroom and 2nd bathroom. Outstanding work! Very pleased! Would highly recommend Derek Hansen for any remodeling work or custom work that needs to be done."

"Professionals with talent and skill! I hired them to drywall/tape/texture and spray foam insulate my basement after a flooding issue. Their attention to detail, finished product and professionalism was top notch. They not only did a fabulous job, they also cleaned up after themselves everyday! I'd definitely hire them again for future projects."

"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

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

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
