"Jeff did a great job on our complete basement bathroom remodel last December so we asked him to do a small job of installing a vanity. The job was done quickly and efficiently. The price was reasonable. Everything was cleaned up. I highly recommend Northgate Home Improvement and will gladly hire them in the future."

"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"

"My wife and I had a very positive experience working with LI Developers. The remodeling was on point and fast. We needed the basement and bathroom remodeled so from start to finish, they were professional and courteous. Their prices are very reasonable and their estimate was MUCH LESS than other places we looked at. Their business practices are completely transparent and professional which was very refreshing. Ryan and Jakob were very helpful out at our the home end. They were professional, courteous and took a lot of care with their work and in keeping our home clean in the process. I was particularly impressed with how he completely covered the area around the work space, and kept our home super clean and livable while the work was happening. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs to have work done in their home!"

"Great! It turned out beautifully. I wouldn't have anyone else do my construction work. They are simply the best! It's really nice to see the owner of the company working side by side with his crews. He cares and he is honest and provides the highest quality of work. And they won't try to charge you for stuff you don't actually need. I already plan to hire him again in the future. I would highly recommend this company to ANYONE!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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.

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

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

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.
