Customers say: Quick response

"Mario and his crew were very accommodating and the communication was better than expected from a construction crew that was working on my home for a month. Never had an issue with Mario responding to a question, even on the weekend. The work to finish my basement was solid and his attention to detail was very refreshing. I hit them with a couple of small changes (lights, sockets, re-positioned baseboard heater) and one larger one (banister) during the project and the crew got 'er done. I would recommend anyone having a basement or finishing project done to (at minimum) give Mario a call to see if his crew can help you enjoy your home even more."

"MidCity Handyman and Remodeling installed tile flooring throughout our basement, and it is completely transformed the space! Their attention to detail with each tile placement was impressive. They worked quickly but did not sacrifice quality, making sure everything was level and beautifully aligned. We were so thrilled with the final look, and the durability is perfect for a high-traffic area like our basement. Highly recommend them for any tile work!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

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

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

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 it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.
