"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."

"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."

"We just had our basement finished. Not re-finished but finished for the first time. The house was built in 1924 with a dirt floor in the basement and low hanging pipes, overall a very challenging job. We wanted to turn it to a family room with a full bath, laundry room, closets, etc. Joe's guys (Chico and Javier) did a fantastic job. They are knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful, and creative. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation."

"Bryan and his wife Josie personally came out on a Saturday to look at the basement project and I requested 3 different quotes on what I referred to as 3 different projects.  For strategic reasons I had to break the work up because like most remodels, things need to be completed in a specific order.  The soffit project was my biggest concern and getting some of the simple plumbing cutbacks done allowed me to finish up some loose ends.  Five days later I received a quote from Bryan that was reasonable so we scheduled a date for the work to be done. 
One of Bryan's teams was doing the work, they showed up on time and quickly reviewed the scope of the project and confirmed exactly what the expectation was.  Even though I pushed donuts, etc. on them they wanted to get right to work and to make their lives easier I set up a miter saw outside for them to use (even though they came prepared).  A guy named George was obviously in charge he went to get some supplies while the other two guys started reinforcing my existing framing and checking and making any studs plum that they had to build the soffit off of.  At one point (since I know spanish) they were mentioning how they wanted to secure the sill plate down further I was more than happy to provide the hilti, ammo & nails to punch through the basement floor.  You know you have a good team when they first check what is LEVEL before just hammering away and trying to build a soffit which MUST be level or when you drywall it, it will stick out and be off.  My basement sounded like gun range for about an hour as George and his two other laborers put up the soffit, they worked fast but very conscientious to do quality work, the tool they used MOST was the level, George kept checking and rechecking the soffit as it went up.  After finally getting them to eat a donut and some water/soda the guys finished up the framing, attached the sheet rock ceiling portion and even went as far as ensuring their work lined u with other existing walls/framing. 
I was so happy with the work I demanded to buy them lunch, called it into the local pizzeria and told to 'go eat it on the way home'.  Bryan's team delivered as promised, cleaned up behind themselves and were an absolute class act to deal with.

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you.
