"We had to replace a 25-year-old deck that was falling apart. 614 Builders had the best price among the bids we sought. More importantly, they were the best to work with. Juan Medina was personable and professional. He has a good sense of design, too. Ours was just a simple rectangular deck, but Juan advised us on how to get the most from the materials needed, and the result is pleasing in form and function. He and his crew were also respectful of our property (including our pets) and our neighbors. Juan also stayed in touch with us about required permits and inspections as well as with delays caused by all of the rain that poured on us these past few weeks. 614 Builders is absolutely the best!"

"We absolutely loved working with Bolte Construction. Bill and Geoff are both knowledgeable, friendly, fun to work with, and very protective of their clients' needs. We were nervous about hiring a contractor for the first time, and we were blown away by how great Bill and Geoff were. We could not have asked for a better experience. We contacted Bill based on other reviews on Angie's List. He came to the house and we described what we were looking to do -- add a kitchenette and laundry facilities to our finished basement. I had a rough sketch that I provided for the kitchenette. Bill assessed the locations we had picked out for the kitchenette and laundry room. He estimated what he thought it would take to get them done and gave us a rough guess on the cost. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. He had us laughing and really put us at ease. There was no doubt that we had found our contractor. We loved him instantly. Bill does not do design, so he gave us his preferred suppliers for design, cabinets, tiles, etc. While we were working on that, Bill had his contractors (plumbing, electrical, etc.) come to the house and evaluate the work. Once all of this was done, Bill worked up a final estimate and we got the work scheduled. Bill and Geoff (well, mostly Geoff!) got the basement ready for work. We have a walkout basement, so plans were made for everyone to come in and out of that door instead of using the front door. They pulled back the carpet all the way to the door to protect the carpet from damage. They also put up plastic sheeting to help contain the dust that would inevitably be flying around. They were so careful with our things and did everything they could to protect them. And all the while they were just incredibly enjoyable to have around! All the work went really smoothly. Bill works with great contractors, so you can trust that the job will be done well. Geoff was here frequently to check in on the work and make sure things were going well (and to help out where needed). Bill also stopped by from time to time. If I had any questions about the schedule or the work, I could contact Geoff and he always got back to me right away. Throughout the process, we felt like we were in great hands. From the moment we met Bill, and then later Geoff, we felt really confident about the whole project. By the time it was done, you couldn't even tell any construction had taken place, except that we had a beautiful new kitchenette and new laundry facilities. The experience was above and beyond what we had hoped for because Bill and Geoff are so great. We will definitely hire Bolte Construction again, and we cannot recommend them more highly."

"I contacted Quality Home Improvements about a number of renovation projects I wanted to complete, but I had several ideas in mind. Brad was very helpful when making decisions on things that were on my dream list, while also keeping my budget in mind. There were a few things that I knew before hand that I wanted for sure, one being certain lighting, but Brad had better options available for me than I even knew about. His experience helped a lot because I wasn't aware of all of the details that go into renovating a home. He had suggestions on everything and even talked me out of things that I thought would work good in my home, but he knew it wasn't the right fit for what I was wanting. It was helpful that he has worked with a number of different products so he could tell me the pros and cons to different things. I was also impressed that when Brad told me he was going to do something or be somewhere, he was always there. Every day he said he was going to be working on my house, he was there. It was helpful in keeping the renovating process stress free because I felt that things were moving along in the process, instead of feeling like things were at a standstill. I have no complaints about this process with Quality Home Improvements. It actually went a lot smoother than I ever anticipated and I think that was due to having a contractor who was well experienced. His work is VERY TEDIOUS and there is nothing that I saw that I wished had been done better. My house was always left in the condition that I left it or better, and remnants from working were always picked up. If I ever need any other remodel work done, I know who I will contact."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

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.

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. 

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.
