"Basic Bassments did a wonderful job in waterproofing and remodeling our basement. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and very professional. The workmanship was really good…township inspectors commented on good the electrical and plumbing work looked. Basic Basements was always on time and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Basic Basements and would definitely use them again."

"My wife and I hired Joseph and Sons to remodel our basement. Angelo was accommodating and transparent with us at all times, suggesting solutions for each of the ideas and challenges we had, from fixing the homeâ s foundation, to custom creating our bay window, to matching our staircase and floor finish. They took the time to explain all the options within our budget and talk through each with us to make sure we were happy with the direction of the project each step of the way. His team is respectful and skilled, and there was constant communication regarding timeline, as well as arrival and departure times for each day of work. Attention to detail and a desire to make us happy were constantly present and I always felt like I was the only project they were working on; I would hire them again and recommend to my family and friends."

"It went perfectly! We hired BAS to do a full remodel of our unfinished basement, and they did an amazing job. The results were beautiful, and they were pleasant and easy to work with along the way. They gave great advice during the intial estimate and planning, seamlessly took care of the permitting, and executed the construction flawlessly and on schedule. They will be our first call for any future renovation projects! Highly recommended"

"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"We recently hired Bonus Home Remodeling to remodel our unfinished basement. Rob and his team were outstanding to work with from the onset of the project. They worked with us to make final design decisions, and throughout the entire project they had a large white board set up in the basement outlining a timeline of the projects so we always knew what was coming up next. They arrived at the same time everyday and left at the same time everyday which made it easy to live through such a big project taking place in your home. Rob and his team made everything convenient and easy for us. Any issues or questions that came up were addressed immediately and always ensured that we were happy before moving forward. The finished project is exactly what we were hoping for! It is gorgeous and the quality of the work is excellent."

"Cesar remodeled our basement, and we cannot be happier with his work! He worked with us the whole way to make sure we were happy with the work. He even put a custom wine rack in. The new basement is so beautiful and we get so many compliments. He has done work for us before and he does excellent work, is always available and easy to reach, and has a professional and kind team of workers. Thank you Cesar!!"

Customers say: Quality work

"My family had the pleasure of contracting John and his crew to remodel our kitchen. We live in a nearly century-old house that was not properly cared for by the previous owner, and our original kitchen showed it. John helped us plan out a full remodel with new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, flooring, and ceiling (the latter two were originally slanted and uneven). He was communicative and thorough during the planning phase and his crew was always on time, professional, and thorough during the actual construction work. John was on site each day to supervise and keep us in the loop on how things were progressing. They caught multiple major structural/functional issues along the way that they were able to fix without it even impacting their timeline for the project. Thanks to John, my family now has a beautiful, functional kitchen. We will definitely be reaching out to him when we start additional projects in our house!"

"The end product is nice. My kitchen is very nice and functional and the basement is definitely better with the new door and bilco door. However the estimated timeframe of my project was supposed to be a month and a half however everything was completed within 3 months. There were times where they were not working on my house for weeks. Had to remind them numerous times on things that were not completed. I asked for the detailed listing of expenses that included material cost and labor compared to the budget and never received that."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

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.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.
