"I hired Kevin to remodel our two car garage into an extra room, along with building a laundry room along with plumbing, hallway, replacing garage door with a new wall/siding, new windows etc. Kevin Babcock and his team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They are responsive to the needs of the homeowner, readily available throughout the entire project and amazing to work with. Kevin ensures his clients are constantly kept in-the-know about the progress and openly accepts feedback and ideas. He not only was attentive and accountable but his team does impeccable work that left us with a life changing home remodeling to accommodate our growing family. I would recommend Kevin to anyone for his skill, expertise and integrity and will continue to hire him for future projects of our own."

"V&S did a fantastic job on our kitchen and bathroom remodel! From the beginning, they supported thoughtful design and recommended high quality materials. They worked quickly and always kept our space clean. They went above and beyond to create a functional space, recommending solutions I would not have originally thought of. For a full kitchen and bath remodel the total timespan was about one month, which was faster than I ever expected, and with no short cuts on quality. I highly recommend V&S for any home renovation project."

"Our roof was a difficult roof. A Cape Cod with dormers. Tom is a perfectionist. He treated our roof as his own. He did a wonderful job. I would hire him in a minute to do anyother jobs that may come up."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.

Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.
