"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."

"We needed the playroom in the basement to be refreshed: new floor, windows and paint. We also added a custom closet and had the central AC ducts encased. We had already hired BAS Construction a few years ago to finish part of the basement, and wanted the playroom to match. We were again very pleased with the results. The various crews showed up on time and the work site was kept clean. The work was completed within the promised time frame. Ali and Sina were easy to work with and very professional, from planning the project to completion. They came up with great suggestions. We would highly recommend hiring them."

"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."

"Joe was a very nice man and certainly a pro. My son came up with a builder friend who does very nice work, his price was some what lower than the Better Basement Comp.,whether the work will be as good remains to be seen. Thank You for your help. David McQueen"

"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

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

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.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

Create a checklist, reimagine the space use, set a realistic budget, choose materials and aesthetic details, and get professional support for guidelines and troubleshooting.

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.
