"I highly recommend John Kelch with Kelch Contracting! He is incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond. John has completed several installations and projects around my home, most recently fixing a ceiling fan and helping with stools. Every time, he has done an outstanding job. No job is too big or too small, and he brings the same care and attention to everything he does. It’s wonderful to have someone I can trust and count on. John will absolutely continue to be my go-to for projects around the house!"

"RMG did our kitchen floor. They showed up , talked about what we wanted done, measured our floor, picked up the tile that we ordered, we scheduled for a date , they showed up , did an excellent job on our floor, and cleaned up after they were done . My husband used to do tile and was very pleased with the results and the price. The guys were very nice and polite. We will keep on recommending them from our experience."

"Ken came and did our estimate and was very responsive to our needs. We had some new things in our old bathroom that we didn't want to get rid of, and he was able to accommodate that. He removed our old tub/shower, floor, and toilet. The whole project took about a week and looks fantastic. Throughout the process Ken communicated with us and make sure we were happy with the progress. Not only would I recommend working with Ken, we've already scheduled another project with him! Also, his estimate was $10,000 less than the one-day company that gave us the other estimate."

"Upper Echelon Reno was one of the contractors we contacted for our bathroom remodel, which included flooring, toilet, moldings. I was impressed right from the start. Mr. Kirkpatrick listened very courteously and attentively writing down EVERY concern we had about the remodel. He even had several good ideas and suggestions. The quote listed everything, including materials, in it and was exact and detailed. The price was very reasonable too; considering the quality of the work performed. The work men where fast, efficient and dedicated. The quality, fit, and finish of the work was outstanding. I would hardily commend them for any renovations They also did not ask for payment until we were 100% satisfied with the work, and they said if we had any problems to contact them any time. We will definitely be recommending, and using them, again if we have a need."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

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.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

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.
