"Our project was a 14' x 14' screened porch. We selected Scott SCS from other contractors based on the interview, his knowledge, understanding of the project, and communication skills. He improved our original design and made numerous suggestions during the construction process. He understood our vision of the porch and he delivered. From start to finish Scott and his work crew were always on time, polite, professional, and cleaned up the area before departing every day. I was on site watching and taking photos. So I can attest to the craftmanship and attention to detail of the crew. Every day I was informed of their plans and then I provided my thoughts, ideas, and concerns. We are extremely pleased with the finish porch and I would highly recommend SCS. They are a 10 in every category."

And a steel door installation through a load bearing wall. Everything done to my complete satisfaction (I was in the contracting business as a young man).

Big Dog Construction is a Master Builder and Renovator who's mission is to develop, build and maintain the physical environment for living, and working. Let our professional craftsman assist you in your next renovation or building project. We’ve earned a reputation for honesty, discipline and hard work. Our values are demonstrated in the way we work and interact with others. We build more than houses — we build homes & relationships! We are General Contractors we do Full Renovations, Tile Work, Kitchens, Baths,Hardwood Floors, Painting and so much more.

"I can't say enough about this contractor! The work was amazing and they did everything they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it, and everyone I worked with there from the office manager on out was terrific. They can do anything from plumbing to electrical to building barn door fixtures, which means you don't need to find anybody else after you call them. What I loved most was they brought their own ideas, and because of this, I have a nice, spacious laundry room/mud room/garage entry area where once there was a very narrow passage where you could barely squeeze past the washer to get out the garage door - but they were able to see the space laid out in a different way, and now it's both functional and beautifully designed. ALSO - the fireplace was just an in-wall gas fireplace with a marble surround flat to the wall around it, with a very narrow plain white mantle high up on the wall - no hearth or anything -and these guys built me a brand new white brick fireplace with a rustic mantle based on a Pinterest picture I showed them - way more than I expected and exactly what I wanted! Best of all, they knew I had these lamps I wanted to put on the mantle, so they built hidden electrical outlets flat into the mantle, next the wall, so I don't have wires hanging down and you can't even see the cords - I hadn't even asked for that, but that's the kind of thing they think about when they're building. Everyone on the team seems to have a good design sense, and I remember a couple of times when they saved me from poor decisions by asking me to come look at something before they finished the install, just because they thought something might look better a different way, and they were right. From a project management perspective, I had up-front pricing on all work, and as I added projects along the way, I was given pricing for the additional work as well. Receipts for payments included a running total of all projects they were doing with original pricing as well a list of all payments made - there was never any confusion about balances owed or paid, and this made it very easy to budget and manage the cash flow aspect. Big Dog also works with certain companies for things like flooring, windows, and doors, so since I didn't know where to go, they were able to connect me with people in the industry. My townhouse looks completely different from when I moved in, and I love it! I really appreciate the thought and effort Big Dog put into making my house perfect, and I recommend them highly - I'll be calling them again."

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Howell, NJ

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
