"I have no skills or vision when it comes to construction, so there was no way I was going to attempt any part or function to finish my basement myself. There is so much involved with finishing a basement that the actual thought of getting it done was exhausting! John and his team made the large task to finish a basement easy! John has the skillsets to do the work and orchestrate different contractors with various skillsets to get each phase of the construction done. Proworks Interiors is very professional and know what they are doing. It was a great relief that they were able to make something that seemed impossible, possible in a matter of a few months."

"From the second Kevin walked in for our estimate I could tell he was genuine and not trying to oversell or take advantage. Our project was a basement remodel for my mother who was moving in. The entire experience was wonderful, from start to finish. His team is amazing, super dedicated and we were involved in every step along the way. Kevin was always right there talking my mom through what she needed, helped her pick out her finishing touches, and even suggested we add/remove things from the remodel we would have never thought of doing on our own. He never once made us feel like we were asking too much and ANYTIME I had a question or concern he always got back to me same day. His work is top notch and his team is filled with the kindest group of men I have ever met. I didnt always make it easy, but they always delivered. We could not be more thrilled with the way things turned out, down to the last details, and would 100% call Kevin and his guys back for any future contracting needs."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you’ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you’re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you’ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you’re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you’ll save considerable money.

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

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.

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.
