"I had a great experience with this company. They were honest, hard working and met with me weekly to discuss continued plans for my bathroom remodels. Great attention to detail, great communication and they even let my dog out each day. I would highly recommend this company for your home renovations. They worked with me to keep to a sensible budget as well."
"We needed water , damaged drywall , removed and replaced from a ceiling in our family room. Justin not only removed and replaced it , he painted it and did a perfect job that looks wonderful. In addition to him doing the job efficiently, He treated our house as if it was his own house taking all precautions not to have drywalled dust throughout the whole house. He was very particular in keeping the whole work area clean. In conversation, Justin had mentioned to us that he also does remodels of bathrooms kitchens, etc. Hopefully we don't need him back for water damage, however, for any drywall work or any type of remodeling or interior work in our house Justin from JB.Contracting would be our guy to call. This review doesn't give us the option of the work he did, it only lists basement and bathroom remodel. The work he completed was in the family room in the middle of our house"
"We renovated our kitchen in our 1920s Tudor home in Fairport Village. We found Piccirillo Enterprises, which is really Tony Piccirillo and his crew, on Angie's list and used a coupon for a consultation and estimate for kitchen redesign. Tony works with a designer who visited our home, measured and drew up plans for our kitchen. Tony reviewed the plans and provided an estimate. We were pleased with the design and felt Tony's estimate was fair, so we went ahead with the project. Tony and his team were very professional and their work was high quality. We could not be more pleased with our new kitchen. Tony's quote was very transparent and he invoiced the work as it was completed. We found the whole team to be trustworthy and courteous, which is obviously important when you have a crew of workers in your home on a daily basis for several weeks. We would (and probably will) hire Tony again for other projects in our home."
"I highly recommend CRPRADO LLC for flooring installation! They did an amazing job installing my black laminate hardwood floors, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The floors look beautiful and completely transformed the space. The attention to detail was excellent, the installation was done professionally, and they made sure everything was finished neatly and correctly. They were reliable, hardworking, and took pride in their work from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone who does quality work and cares about the final result, I definitely recommend CRPRADO LLC. I’m very pleased with my new floors and would absolutely use them again for future projects!"
"I was very happy with the work he did. Very easy to get along with. Thought the price was very fair I would have no problem hiring him in the future. I think you did a great job."
"Jason, Jude, and their team did an exceptional job on my kitchen remodel. When my circa-1951 cabinets started literally falling apart, I knew it was time for an overhaul and immediately knew I wanted to hire MQC because I had seen their work recently as my sister had hired them to remodel her kitchen last summer. Jason and Jude came to my house to measure the space and come up with a new layout and when we met up again a couple weeks later I was thrilled with the design. The whole kitchen was stripped down to the studs and every challenge that a 75 year old kitchen presented was handled with professionalism and quality solutions with both safety and aesthetics in mind. I was able to choose exactly the finishes I wanted and the project came in pretty much right on budget (aside from some unforeseen electrical issues). Every subcontractor was friendly and courteous. 8 weeks later I had a brand new, absolutely gorgeous kitchen that I am super proud to show off! Highly recommend!"
"Soltys remodeling did an excellent job! We started with remodeling our basement. They did such a wonderful job that we got our kitchen, dining area, and also the bedrooms remodeled! Very professional, cheerful, and detail oriented. I strongly recommend them."
"Excellent, thorough, and affordable kitchen remodel that turned an old and dingy space into arguably the best room of the house! Not only did he do the remodel I wanted but he updated faulty wiring and helped me pick out design elements. He did this all without dirtying any other areas of the home."
"Josh is professional, creative and very talented. Josh is a perfectionist and treated our kitchen and basement/bathroom remodel like it was his own. His pricing was more than fair with no hidden surprises. He transformed our house to what we wanted it to be and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. This was our first major home renovation and he helped us make decisions the entire process. We will certainly hire JL again and have already been recommending him to family and friends!!!!"
"We are absolutely thrilled with our bathroom remodel! The team was professional, punctual, and paid attention to every detail. The finished space looks beautiful and feels like a spa. Highly recommend!"
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.
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.
Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes.
It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.
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.
