"We had our kitchen completely remodeled by Hire Her Home Improvement. Angela and her crew were very professional and responsive throughout the whole process. They were punctual, efficient, and always left the house clean when they left for the day. They were very respectful of our home. The job was completed on time and the kitchen came out beautiful! Angela was always available to answer any questions and always kept us updated. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and a pleasure to talk to. All the costs were clearly communicated and there were no surprises. I would highly recommend Hire Her for any home remodel or repair!"

"V&S did a fantastic job on our kitchen remodel project. They worked with us on the options, provided samples and delivered. They do terrific work, are super respectful of your home and your time. Our project was a full gut of the kitchen and dining room - and they did it all. A truly refreshing combination of friendliness, professionalism and craftsmanship. Cleaning the work area after every single day of work was truly above and beyond."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. 

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

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.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.
