"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"The crew did a wonderful job, turning a bare cement basement into a cozy getaway. They framed up and insulated the walls and painting the ceiling black to make it seem larger. They also fixed some rotted railings and installed two new basement windows. Very professional, and were careful to keep things clean."

"They did a complete porch teardown and build. They did such a fantastic job. Family owned business, walked us through the process, listened to our concerns, and was very talented and knowledgeable. Price was very very reasonable compared to all other quotes. We would 100% recommend!! I actually already told my Dad to call for his retaining wall and patio. We are already discussing hiring them for other projects!"

"Complete master bathroom remodel and hall bath remodel. The project is currently in progress, so far, so good. Great price and great value! Kevin does most of the work himself. We like contractors that get their own hands dirty. Not so good at returning calls in a timely manner, but still a pleasant man to work with. Very detailed invoice/contract.... More later, Ella"

"Juan and his crew exceeded our expectations with the work that they performed. This was a pretty big project and Juans crew was consistently on time, every day! Juan was also very flexible allowing us the time that we needed to complete various phases of the basement finishing project in between what he and his crew had to do. My wife and I changed several aspects of the project and Juan was able to accommodate those changes on the fly. We saved thousands of dollars by using Juan and lost nothing on the quality of work. I do not write a lot of recommendations, but had to write this one based on the service provided by an exceptional and honest man... Juan. This is very tough to find in today's world.

"Eugenio and his team were incredible. Other contractors gave us estimates that were three times as high and estimated twice as long to do the work. Family Remodeling was efficient, meticulous, and handled every inevitable curve ball with ease. We couldn't be happier with the outcome."

"We used Merryfield for this siding project, which was part of a kitchen remodel.  Our contractor did not specialize in siding and asked that we have the work performed by someone else.  We needed siding installed where a window was being eliminated to make room for additional cabinets.  The process was easy for this project, from estimate to completion.  They worked within the requests of our kitchen contractor and the work was done quickly.  The siding on our house is old and not readily available.  Merryfield was able to source the replacement siding even after we were told by another company that this was not possible.

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.

While bathrooms and kitchens are nearly equal in terms of renovation difficulty, kitchens are the most challenging. Kitchen design, layout, electrical, and plumbing needs all depend on each other for the success of the entire project, and mistakes early in the project can cause trouble later on.
