"Great job. Tristan arrived on time and performed the work very quickly. Completed the work of removing and replacing the water damaged plywood subfloor in my bathroom. He left the job clean and neat when he was complete and removed the old debris. I highly would recommend."

"Dan and his team were very professional and knowledgeable about the work. The planning and estimation process was very transparent. No hidden costs or surprises. All work is done legally with a professional contractor for plumbing and electrical work. Different options and recommendations are shared through out the project work. Crew was very polite, respectable and professional. They made sure no unnecessary noise was created and kept the house & working area clean. They would clean up after the work. I will recommend Beautiful Basements for any remodeling work and especially for the basement remodeling."

Small jobs welcome

"A big thanks to Pete, Chad and the rest of the crew for our bathroom remodel. It was a big project in a small space so working conditions were less than ideal. Every project comes with an unexpected curve ball or two, and these guys handled them very well. We talked through options and were able to agree on solutions quickly when things came up. At the end of the day, we are very happy with the work and customer service throughout the process and would definitely call them again if/when another project comes up. Thanks again!"

"I hired Tim's Home Improvement to remodel my kitchen and he and his crew did a great job! Tim's communication on the project was exemplary. Tim kept me informed on everything he was going to do and when he was going to do it. He let me know what phone calls I needed to make to assist in the process. He answered my calls late into the evening and on weekends. His team did a great job of staying on task and was responsive to my concerns. I've never worked with a more proactive team on any home project. I have already hired Tim to do my bathroom remodel and am looking forward to working with him again! I would highly recommend Tim for any home remodel project. He can be trusted to do a great job and stay on budget."

"Buckstone has done 2 projects for us in the last 18 months and have been extremely satisfied with their work. Especially their attention to detail and the level of communication about options. The first was a roof repair that involved removing the ridge vents and replacing them due to leaking. The next project was a master bathroom remodel/update. We were thoroughly pleased with how both turned out . We would recommend them on a very high basis"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
