"We needed some work done in our basement and needed the work done quickly. Called Harvey and the work was done in 3 days and at a fair price. They remodeled our home in the poconos in less than one month and we get so many compliments from our renters. We will definitely use their services again. Thanks Harvey!"

"We couldn’t have replaced this door with a better expert. Ryan took measurements and photos, then recommended several doors in various price ranges. We didn’t realize how many options come with storm doors. Ryan gave us some really good recommendations and helped us make a great choice. He installed the door in a half day while we were out. Came back to a gorgeous door/screen storm door combo- something we weren’t even sure could have been done to begin with. Important to know:Throughout the entire process, Ryan was responsive and easy to reach. That’s vital in a world where ghosting is the norm (unfortunately). Ryan is the expert you need for your remodeling needs. Highly recommend!"

"We had Tom and his crew remodel our small master bathroom a couple of years ago and invited him back to do our kitchen remodel. Tom and his crew are incredible. They are very professional, considerate, and clean. They do the job right and don't cut corners. His pricing is fair and I would be happy to use them again on my next project."

"Here are some pictures of the before and after. The work was exelente it took a little longer time to finish because it was done in the middle of winter and there was a lot of snow it was not easy to get in to the basement. But we were satisfied with the work that Adrian completed on our basement."

"I couldn't be happier with both Nayol and his fathers renovation to my home. That also includes their employees. Their prices were amazing, very attentive to any questions I had and completed the work quicker than I expected. They will be completing all of my homes repairs and upgrades. In fact, I am currently in contact with Nayol for an estimate for some future work."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.
