"Great! I had my weather stripping replaced due to the draft I was having coming through my door. He was fast and made sure the door closed properly and no draft was present. I would definitely hire again when I'm ready to make some improvements in my home!"
Final look after install.  Came out looking great!

"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 had Peak Home Renovations remodel my kitchen in March-April of 2023. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It took roughly 6 weeks. A complete and total makeover consisting of new granite countertops, new appliances, new cabinetry, creation of new recessed lighting, painting, some carpentry, and creation of a new pantry. The work crews were on time daily and were both professional and personal. The owner of the company regularly was on site and part of the work crew. Problems that arose were quickly and efficiently dealt with . Communication was excellent and the finished product turned out beautiful. The value I received for the price paid was MORE than satisfactory. I not only recommend this company to others, but I intend on using Peak Home Renovation's again in the future"

"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

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.

Create a checklist, reimagine the space use, set a realistic budget, choose materials and aesthetic details, and get professional support for guidelines and troubleshooting.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
