"Finding good, trustworthy and reliable contractors nowadays is so difficult..I searched high and low, almost like an interview process. When one contractor would seem like a good fit, they would disappear. Another contractor would come along and half the time I wouldn’t get my quote or drawings. I even had a contractor tell me a price without bothering to tell me where my money was going. This was not my experience with Beautiful Basements. I enjoyed the process from start to finish.. Dan, the owner, personally came to my home to collaborate with me and explain ways that would improve the quality of my space while helping me understand why certain ideas may or may not be in my budget. He even told me ways in which I could save money. What a rarity!! By understanding all the facets of my remodel, I was able to effortlessly follow his price structure and why certain things needed to be done.. I’ve never had a company break down a quote the way Dan did; it was impressive. The crew that came into my home worked tirelessly to stick to the timeframe they promised, and they were so respectful and trustworthy. They were also knowledgeable when I had questions and took the time to answer them for me. I enjoyed working with this company so much I hired them to remodel my bathroom. This process went just as smooth and effortless as my first project with them, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the final product. Do yourself a favor and call this company- you will save yourself a lot of time and effort, and you can leave the remodel to the professionals."

"We highly recommend Kramer Custom Remodels. They are excellent, 5 stars all the way. We retained their services for several major, high-end projects at our home. We remodeled our en suite bathroom to create a glamour bathroom, remodeled our kitchen to create a gourmet kitchen and we had them prepare our house before we listed it for sale. Each major project was done on time and within the budget and the finished projects exceeded our expectations. We truly loved and had great pride in our home after they had finished. They and their crew were quiet, neat and prompt. In addition to being skilled, we really appreciated that they spent so much time planning with us before each project started so that we could make our remodeling dreams come true. Their knowledge of current trends and timeless beauty and their ability to bring our visions to life made each major remodel a pleasure. 2016- Bathroom Remodel: new tile shower with glass doors, new granite counter, new sinks, laundry area, cabinets, new tile flooring, painted walls, new lights and fixtures 2018- Kitchen Remodel- expanded entryway, added large pantry, granite and stainless steel sink; refinished and restained hardwood floor, all new soft-close cabinets, large island with granite and large stainless steel sink. Designed and built bespoke bar area with lighting, granite and marble- truly a focal point of the kitchen. New stove hood, lights and fixtures. 2021- What a relief it was to have Kramer Custom Remodels prepare our house for sale. They advised us how we could make our home look its best for buyers. They painted every room, the basement, ordered carpet, and added modern light fixtures, and made our home a showplace. We also used Kramer Custom Remodels for all our landscaping needs, through the years."

"We’ve been remodeling our house for quite awhile now and to say John was the most genuine and professional contractor that we’ve worked with so far is an understatement. John treated us like family and went way beyond what we contracted him to do! Not only did they do an outstanding job with our basement remodel but he was patient and professional with a little bit of drama that we had during construction when it came to other contractors that he had to work around. I would definitely refer John to anybody who need remodeling done and will definitely use Desborough construction for ALL our next projects!"

"The short and simple review: While I do have some minor issues with the work that was done - ultimately, I would hire CFC Builders again. Jim and his team did a good job and addressed any issues I called out in a timely manner and without fuss. The longer review: I hired CFC to restore/re-finish my previously finished basement office after I had the sewage line replaced. I received several quotes and CFC was the least expensive option even with all material costs included in the quote - including flooring, paint, ceiling, etc - many of the other quotes I received did not include those things and were *still* 10-20% more expensive. The following is the job I requested: 1. Frame, drywall, and cap new half walls around perimeter of the room. 2. Prime and paint all walls. 3. Level the basement floor and install new vinyl plank flooring and trim. 4. Tear out existing drop ceiling and replace with new 2x2 grid and tiles. 5. Install 4 can ceiling lights with light switch control. 6. Install door and frame at entryway to room. Initially I was told the job would take about a week - however, that quickly turned into two weeks, and even had a couple of short visits the next week after that to address some minor issues. This was not a problem for me because I am lucky enough to work from home and did not have an urgent need for this space to be completed. Overall I am pleased with the finished room. There are some minor issues that I feel could have been done better - for example, a few of the vinyl planks were very slightly damaged during installation, as well as a couple of dings on some ceiling tiles (though those appeared to have been damaged from the store, not during installation) - but these are very minor cosmetic issues and not anything to get worked up over as far as Iâ m concerned. Additionally, Jim (the owner) offered to address each of these issues to make sure I was happy, and I did have him come back to make a few adjustments. All in all, while I am still quite happy with the finished product and I would recommend them - CFC may not be the best choice if you are an absolute perfectionist and/or on a tight schedule. You canâ t beat the price though."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

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. 

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.
