"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."

"I worked with Prestige on a few, somewhat unique, projects recently, including renovating an old detached garage and fixing up my basement after a French drain/sump pump install. It was definitely a 5 star experience. Matt seemed more like a partner than a contractorâ ¦he brought creative solutions and ideas to the project, was transparent with updates and showing off milestones as they were completed, and even went the extra mile to ensure quality (example: he insisted that siding be sent back because it did not quite match the rest of the house). He also hooked me up with a custom side door for my EV charger cord that is going to make charging outside so much easier. I will definitely be hitting him / Prestige up again in the future."

"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."

"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!!"

"Great experience with Charles Renovations. We dealt with Angel, who was professional and prompt and honest from start to finish. We are very satisfied with the work done on our basement refinish/remodel. Great communication and great workmanship. I recommend Charles and would use them again."

"Matt and Donna are the best. Both of them are very professional and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor. They turned my basement from hell to heaven. I will definitely be using them for any remodeling I need to be done. I have nothing but good words for these two and their team. If anyone is looking for a contractor pick Pickford. I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Andy came to our rescue after the hurricane flooded our basement. His professional crew had us clean and safe in no time. We were so impressed with the work we hired him to rebuild the finished basement and complete another important drainage project. Andy and his team are super responsive, reliable, and are very talented at what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any number of home improvement projects."

"There are not enough great things I can share about HammerTime Construction, and every single member of their team. From consultation to project completion, the high level of professionalism, expertise, SKILL, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship was exemplary! We contacted William via Angi (blindly!) in hopes of helping my elderly parents restore their kitchen, and he agreed to come by that same day - a weekend- to do an assessment, and provide a quote. He assured us he'd work within our budget, and he stuck to his word. We were in constant contact for everything from project concept to contract to which materials we'd be selecting. Our expectations were surpassed 10-fold!! Hire them. Just look at the photos! Our parents' home was completely transformed in the best possible way. It will now be a source of pride and an enjoyable gathering space for all who visit. On top of the kitchen remodel, they also restored our hardwood floors to a beautiful state we didn't even know was possible. Miguel, Ignacio and the entire team were speedy, efficient and completely caring as though this were their own family's home. We will be returning to this company for future projects, and we recommend them with zero hesitation!!"
This was a larger bathroom with two accent walls, a tub and sauna shower with jetted shower heads, a custom-cut ceiling, heated pebble flooring, and a mini wooden walkway.
The client wanted a tub sitting on pebble stones with an accent wall, wooden look custom shelving, and a smart floating toilet.
The image showcases a contemporary stand-up shower featuring frameless glass doors that provide a seamless, open look. The interior is adorned with large marble tiles in a soft, neutral tone, giving the shower a luxurious feel.

Built-in niches provide stylish and practical storage for toiletries, while subtle LED lighting enhances the overall ambiance.

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.

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

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
