"Spencer and Modo Renovations just finished a major renovation on our basement (adding a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom), and the final result completely exceeded our expectations. Spencer is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is incredibly responsive, professional, and transparent about every detail of the process. His crew did an excellent job with attention to detail in the craftsmanship is evident everywhere you look, and they handled all the permitting and infrastructure smoothly. Spencer kept everything on track and made a massive home project feel entirely stress-free."

"We recently had a complete kitchen renovation and main floor remodel done at my parents' home, and I can’t express how pleased we are with the results. From the very start, William and Miguel made the entire process a dream. William was simply exceptional to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy every step of the way. Not only was he incredibly helpful, professional, and available at all times, but he also took the time to accompany us to the store to help select the best products, tiling, and appliances—all while keeping us within budget. His advice was spot-on, and his eye for detail was invaluable. Throughout the project, he provided regular updates and checked in frequently to ensure we were comfortable with the progress. One of the biggest challenges was navigating the different perspectives of not only my parents but also myself and my three sisters, all of whom were involved in the decision-making. William handled it all with patience, diplomacy, and a calming presence, making sure everyone was heard and at ease. His guidance was steady and reassuring as he led us through the process with a professionalism that truly impressed us. William has clearly put in the effort to build a top-notch team. He surrounds himself with respectful, hardworking individuals who value trust, honesty, and family as much as he does. It's clear that he genuinely cares about creating bonds with his clients and helping them transform their homes—and their lives. Miguel, the man behind the magic, went above and beyond at every turn. His craftsmanship is excellent—truly top-notch. He was kind, dedicated, and worked tirelessly to get things just right. He arrived early, stayed late, and even came on Saturdays. Despite the language barrier, he used Google Translate skillfully to ensure we were always on the same page. Throughout the project, he kept us informed and even handled extra fixes at no additional cost. It was clear he took great pride in his work, and his attention to detail showed in every aspect of the renovation. By the end, we genuinely felt like we had made new friends in William and Miguel. They did a fantastic job bringing our 1930s house—never before renovated—into a modern and beautiful state. They tackled everything from a complete kitchen demo down to the framing: new insulation, ceilings, floors, walls, appliances, cabinets, a partial wall removal to make room for a gorgeous kitchen island with pendant lighting, and the meticulous restoration of the original hardwood floors. They even went above and beyond after the project was finished, coming back to help us set up exterior security cameras. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they always had an eye for aesthetics while staying within our budget. We couldn't be happier with the transformation they've achieved, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a home renovation. Thank you, William and Miguel, for your hard work, kindness, and professionalism. You made what could have been a stressful project a truly enjoyable experience."
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.

"I was very pleased and satisfied with the work that Loja Renovation provided. They replaced and installed a medicine cabinet by removing old tiles and replaced with new tiles to accommodate the new one. Patched a wall where a bathroom cabinet was removed. And replaced a tub spout with a new one. I would hire the again and recommend them to others."

"Al is very reliable. My Reno was complicated and involved some significant structural work. He was either on my job site every day or in touch with me by phone or text to keep me up to date on the work. This is not a guy who will go missing on you. Unlike others, he was great about making all required filings and getting all sign offs needed from the local Building department. He also worked very well with my architect. His carpenter, Louis, and his painter/plasterer, Johnathan were wonderful too. I would recommend him for future projects."

"I hired Elson and his team for a bathroom remodel of my mother’s home. They did a fabulous job. He was very communicative during the entire process and the cost was reasonable. I need to renovate my mother’s kitchen and will definitely call them again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you’re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.

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.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
