"We could not be more happy with the job Hire Her Home Improvement did on our project. This is our 2nd time working with Angela and her team, and they did a fabulous job. We had a new floor put in our main kitchen, and a major rebuild in the basement apartment after mold remediation. This included masonry and plumbing, drywall, trim, and studs,cabinet rebuild, painting, and tile floor installation in multiple rooms. All Angela's workers are very skilled, respectful to your home, and punctual. They turned our nightmare into a dream come true after our awful experience finding mold in our house.

"It went great. No regrets. They did an excellent job, from the initial quote to the final product, which looks great, and matches the rendering he showed us after he surveyed the space, but before he secured the contract. They walked us through the process, delivered in a timely manner, and they made sure the job was complete. I would recommend them."

"We have nothing but great things to say about LRG.  They were contracted to replace our large second story deck and were able to come in at budget without compromising our vision.  Their prices were very competitive compared to other quotes we received and they were able to work with our timeframe to get most of it done while we were out of the country.  They instilled a high-degree of confidence which was important since we would be offsite throughout.  Steve was thoroughly communicative and we felt included in all decision-making.  They were also sensitive to our needs for quiet mornings because I work nights.  Nothing but professionalism and quality craftsmanship.  It is clear they care deeply about your satisfaction in the finished product.  Our deck is beautiful and we love it! We would happily hire them again!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

In most cases, a contractor will ask you for a deposit that is a percentage of the total cost of your job, but you should never pay in full before work has begun. The up-front cost could be as much as 50%, or you might give a contractor as little as 10% up front. Discuss payment terms with your contractor before they begin the job to avoid surprises.

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

Finishing a basement normally takes four to eight weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of your basement, your contractor's availability, and the extent of finishing work. Framing the basement will take three to five days, while adding electrical and rough-in plumbing can be another three to five days. Adding drywall can take five days, and floor installation can take two to three days. Final touches, like painting and adding trim, will take another week.

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, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
