We will give you the Basement you've always wanted by transforming your previously unfinished Basement into a usable and comfortable living area you can be proud of.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Basic Companies to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial layout and permits to framing, electrical work, sheetrock, spackling, painting, and flooring, they handled every aspect of the project with utmost professionalism and expertise. Each team that came to our house was knowledgeable, hardworking, and incredibly professional. They were always responsive to our questions and ensured that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised time frame, and to our delight, it was actually finished much earlier than expected. Our family is thrilled with the final result. The finished basement has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to Basic Companies for their exceptional work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to handle their home improvement projects."

"Working with Just Dry Basements was best described as no-nonsense, fast, and high-quality. In a highly-charged emotional situation like a basement flooding - it is easy to just pick someone to do the work out of desperation. I was lucky enough to work with JDB, who not only rapidly assessed, made a plan together on how we would approach the job, and accommodated a difficult situation where the basement was mostly finished, and they had to carefully deconstruct some of the walls to put in the proper mitigation. A year plus later and a LOT of rain past, the work truly stands the test of time and whatever the elements can throw at it. I have since worked with JDB on other projects, and not just because of the quality of work, but also their fair pricing, friendly and predictable communication, as well as standing behind their work 100%."

"Harold destroyed $1400 shower walls in 2 bthrms by cutting the Bull Nose Finished Sides & Tongue Grove Side! Paint applied w/ Sprayer highly diluted; it peels off wiping any scuffs! Spent extra $ on best Paint; complete waste! Since Sprayed: Paint never cut into Wall-Ceiling line. Ceilings have tannish tint thruout! Raised concern, rcvd manipulative excuse: Squirrel got into each room/ceiling, urinated, causing tint! LVT flooring installed in 1 bthrm over existing tile, but no Leveling Compound used as Instructions warned; LVT pops in/out when stepped on! Paid for 7 Existing Cable Boxes to be moved up, but none of Existing Cable fished thru, so made worse w/ non-functional Cable Boxes! Plead w/ Harold not to close Walls prior to fishing Cable thru, but Walls closed anyway. Disrespected, yelled at, when raised issue that Cable Company wouldn't be fixing, as Harold deceitfully wanted me to believe! Spent $1200 for Electrician to fix. $400 Fiberglass Ladder disappeared, Harold & his Workers only ppl that came in/out, didn't raise @ 1st, but when I was disrespected, yelled @ for voicing other concerns, I raised! And of course, Harold refused to accept responsibility, again turning manipulative/disrespectful, yelling, saying that I'm insulting by accusing him of stealing! Harold took Additional Deposit, September 2023, totaling 35% upfront & I paid for all Material! Was not placed on Schedule, so He worked only consistently during Winter break when Clients were Holiday traveling, etc. from Dec 15-Jan 10, 2024! He never again worked consistently: showed up 1x in Feb, 1x in March! Further, he insisted on weekly Cash Pymnts, but he would jump from Scope to Scope, ensuring he could invoice w/o fully completing any one Scope, giving him all the leverage! So had Scopes started, fully paid & incompete! Fed up in March when He held me hostage to 1 invoice sent wrong 3x's: 1stx formulas on spreadsheet not totaling right so inflated $ owed, 2ndx $900 Cash Pymnt missing from Feb, 3rdx $2200 Cash Pymnt missing from Jan! This $2200 Cash Pymnt was disputed since March, recorded only as $2K pymnt in the end/July! Showed proof that Lauren sent out text in Jan indicating $2200 Pymnt, but Both denied text in most manipulative/deceitful manner, to pt of absurdity, as I showed them both my phone clearly showing text sent by Lauren! From March-July 2024, Harold never fixed the March Invoice b/c he used disputed $2200 Jan Cash Pymnt on March Invoice to buy time in not returning to work. 4 month since March, was beyond fed up, but still did my best to resolve: July 11, spent hour over phone w/ Lauren explaining issues, she tried to manipulate my concerns/facts! Call ended with Notes she took to discuss w/ Harold & we would meet July 15 for her to inspect the issues raised. July 15, Lauren shows up w/ Harold to my surprise & 45 minutes late! Meeting ended with both Lauren & Harold cursing/yelling/slamming items, Lauren stated ("you are f in stupid") & they refused to email corrected March Invoice, wanting me to do verbal math! Lauren only reviewed the Notes from our Thurs call @ Monday's meeting, when they had from Thurs/ 4 Days prior! Harold demanded I go to bank get Cash, as banks were already closed @ 4p! Knew @ that pt I was played more b/c of their manipulative attitude! Harold walked off the job w/ his tools! Thankfully Mom w/ me as Witness. Had earlier Intution to cancel Monday's meeting & text Lauren what's outcome/where's revised March invoice, but decided not/ to show them good faith! Am left with: scopes never touched w/ 35% paid (deposit), scopes paid in full/incomplete & scopes paid/damaged/poor quality; needing extra $ for repair/material! Meaning am out: $31K Cash pymnts to Harold, plus $3K in destroyed material & $15K more to repair work! Harold/Lauren will appear polite @ 1st, but most deceitful/manipulative 2 ppl ever met! DO NOT HIRE HAROLD MAS! Will regret if any issues arise!"

Basement leak repair services FAQs

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.

Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.

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.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
