"Frank was so great to work with on turning our 2 bedrooms into 3 bedrooms upstairs in our house. He always communicated with us promptly about what he had done and what would be coming up for the next day or days. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others who needed a good contractor to get a job done well. Thank you Frank for making our home renovation go smoothly!"

"Every step of the way was above expectations. Scheduling was easy, I was notified of ETA, and Al, our technician, was prompt and thorough. We needed our gas fireplace cleaned, and the job was done thoroughly, carefully, and efficiently. Our 25+ year old fireplace now functions perfectly and looks amazing. Can’t beat the price. 10/10 recommend."

"Farzad has done a lot of major and minor updates to my home such as installing bathroom fans, light fixtures, venting my microwave outside and installing flooring. He found solutions to my water problem and stopped my garage and basement from flooding when it rains. He does excellent work and shows up on time. I would highly recommend him."

"From the moment we connected with Artie, we knew he was the contractor for us. You can count on him to show up or call when he is expected to and do great work with exceptional attention to detail. Artie takes the time to answer questions, understand your needs and provide you with the outcome you hope for. He started with a complete kitchen remodel, making suggestions that created a more beautiful space than we had imagined, and since then, we have hired him for several other projects. He is a great guy, easy to communicate with, offers fair pricing and handles unexpected situations that arise professionally, offering solutions that keep the job running smoothly. We only wish that we had found him sooner, we could have saved ourselves some difficult experiences with other contractors. I would not hesitate to contact him in the future for all our home improvement needs...big and small!"

"Best call I've made. These guys not only showed up when they said they would, they did an AMAZING job replacing broken aged pipes, replacing damaged subfloor, installing new pipes under the bathroom sink into the basement, and replaced my kitchen faucet. I don't know that I've met someone with the passion behind their mission like Rotterdam Renovations. We need more contractors like this in rotterdam!"

"I recently hired Zono Construction Services to replace and repair the vinyl siding on the upper halves of two sides of my two-story house that were torn off during a storm. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. They provided me with a fair price and explained everything clearly. The team was prompt and professional and the entire job took two days to complete. I highly recommend Zono Construction Services to anyone needing siding repair or replacement."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Key trends include home gyms, theatre rooms, additional rooms (bedroom/office), and more, with personalized styles reflecting individual preferences.

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
