"Originally, I had a great review because the finished work looked great and when I was able to, I didn't see any shortcuts as the team that was hired by the contractor (Mohamed) was there during the week while I was at work. It was good...contracts signed and lifetime warranty was signed of the life of the work. Who wouldn't be happy. Just 2-3 months after the project was completed, problems started to occur. The shower items had minor low flow because of the water that was coming in from the street. They came. Then the handle that held up the shower hand device malfunctioned, the toilet installed was having sealing issues, and the sliding door for the shower was jamming. It took some time for them to look into the issue but when they came, they patched the shower device or seal (later to find out, it was just in drywall with a wood screw on no wood), told me they won't fix the toilet, and shifted and patched the sliding door. I had to get these fixed on my own then the ceiling light they installed doesn't work. I will have to get this fix on my own. I am very disappointed as they gave me all smiles until the last payment then after it was like them visiting to fix the issues was a problem. Again, the problems start in under 3 months. Let me not start on the kitchen. All I have to say is if your were going to take shortcuts and use crappy material, why waste each others time. I have photos of all the problems as well as the contractor."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

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.
