"Beautiful Basements did an outstanding job finishing our basement. Dan provided a very thorough estimate/proposal. It detailed all the work to be done and the materials to be used so we knew what to expect and what we were getting right from the start. Ashley was a tremendous help selecting paint colors, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and carpeting to achieve the look that we wanted. Fred, Johnny, Jensen, Devin, Joe, David, and Jessica all worked on tasks in the basement at various times during the project. They were all very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They were very responsive whenever we had questions about the work. They arrived punctually each day and let us know if there was going to be a change in work time. They worked hard and were efficient at completing the project. They were well qualified to do the work assigned and did a great job. Beautiful Basements did an excellent job communicating throughout the project. We received texts letting us know what the next task was, who would be performing the work, and what time they would arrive. We received texts the evening before, or the same morning, if there were daily changes due to unforeseen circumstances. We are very pleased with the results of our basement finishing project and highly recommend Beautiful Basements for your basement project."

Hello There, This is the owner of Tim's Home Improvement. We have been in this business for over 30 yrs. We are five employees strong including myself. I am a Hands on Contractor! Nothing gets done without my personal touch or approval period! You will deal with only me and will see me working on every job I put my name on. We are a full service company, meaning we do project from start to finish. We are not a sell you then sub the work out to God knows who company! I have been doing this since I graduated high school at 17. I spent nine years in the carpenters union and had top honors in my 4 year class. I love working with my clients and helping them with ideas that I have so much experience with. I think that is what separates me from some younger guy's who don't have as much knowledge and experience working with people. I truly love my job and helping my clients turning their dreams or needs into realities! Two of my sons are now aboard and eager to follow my lead. I can promise you professionalism, honesty and what I believe to be very affordable! We take our customers ratings very personally and work hard to keep our A rating! I look forward to working with all our Angie's list customers. It's always been a pleasure. Thanks, Tim.

"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."

Nasser homes and remodeling; Independently owned and operated business focusing on construction of new decks, re-decks ,outdoor living projects, porches, handicap ramps and rails, room additions, siding, windows and all exterior and interior remodeling. kitchens and baths

"Joe was scheduled to build a deck on 4/1/19. He showed up on 4/3/19 with no explanation for 1 of 2 no show days, & I was informed within 2 hrs of expected arrival time. The deck is average, with 3 issues – 1) Instead of using a chalk line to line up screws, he used a permanent marker. 2) The 2 handrails don’t match each other, offered a partial remedy and invalid excuse, but didn’t follow through. 3) Some boards were built on top of a couple old pavers, which now will be a struggle to try and dig out. After the deck experience, I chose to weigh more heavily on the reviews I read, and looked at what was good about the experience, so I followed through on having him come back to tackle the many projects that we needed done. I would soon realize that would be a poor and costly decision, and that I should have gone with my gut, and moved on to another contractor. Even though, Joe had a very long task list and a deadline, he never felt the need to come before 9 -10a or work later than 3:30p. In 10 days, he did work until 4p twice, but he also missed two days. I guess there was no urgency to get the tasks done, because he had convinced us that we would make out better if we paid him and his crew an hourly rate, so they were getting a weekly check, and possibly dragging their feet some. Joe promotes himself as being a very experienced (40yrs), talented, knowledgeable contractor. We found his work to be poor, shoddy, and he likes to take short cuts. He is very overconfident, and claims to know how to do things, which he does not. 1) No respect for a client’s property – Example: When Joe came to our home to give us an estimate, he stated that he would protect our carpet by putting down tarps/drop cloths. Our carpet is 1.5 yrs old. Joe and his crew were the first people to walk on our carpet with shoes on, much less filthy work boots. They didn’t wear booties, nor did they put tarps/drop cloths down. Our carpet not only has debris in every room, they got dirt stains in the hall, paint stains in the closets, soaked our carpet w/ dirty bucket water in several areas and one crew member used a shop vac w/o checking that the filter was on, like he was instructed to do. So much dirt was airborne that it set off the smoke detector!! The same crew member put large holes in our drywall, used a lot of foul language, was very defiant to the others trying to give him technique instructions. I told Joe I didn’t want that person back in our home, as we were paying him $15/hr to destroy our house! 2)He has no respect for the materials he is working with – Example: It took Joe 3 hrs to install a steel exterior door. He not only scratched up the area around the handle set and strike hardware on both sides of the door, he installed the lock upside down. They either damaged, painted over, scratched up or smudged up everything they touched. He even damaged a door and returned it for another door. He damaged several pieces of Pergo flooring because he thought it would be ok to use a nail gun on a floating floor! 3)He takes your things w/o permission – Example: I went through a whole ordeal to purchase Whitewood boards to be used as decorative shelves. I had put them out in the garage w/ the rest of what I had purchased. A week later when I went to get the boards to put a stain on them and get them ready for hanging, they were gone. I asked the crew if they had seen them. Joe told me “we had to use them” because when they poorly installed the entry door, he said the wood under the threshold was rotten and they had to replace it. So, instead of him going to Lowe’s and picking up a $3 treated board, he took it upon himself to use my $10 board that is not treated and not meant to be used for construction purposes, much less be exposed to the outside. I then printed off the board info, and asked him if he goes to Lowe’s if he would pick me up another Whitewood board and I would reimburse him for it when he got back. He brought a board back, and told me he would cut and sand it. I told him it didn’t need to be sanded because it was already sanded. He said he was going to sand it anyway because of fingerprints?? I don’t know what that means, but it was not necessary to do, but yet he wants to be paid $30/hr to work on a board, that I specifically asked him to leave alone. We had a brand new ladder in the garage protected under plastic, that was still in the packaging. He opened the packaging and used the ladder! If you needed to use our ladder, why not ask me first? You just don’t help yourself. What kind of contractor doesn’t have their own ladder anyway? 4) He takes liberties when he shouldn’t, and when he does ask you a question or your opinion he doesn’t listen to your response. Example: When installing the entry door, they raised it up, therefore the storm door wouldn’t be able to clear the angled soffit. He said he could notch out the soffit and come back and build a peaked porch roof or we could just not have soffit above the door. We understood if the storm door was installed it would only be able to open a few inches. We don’t use the front door, and we wanted to address the roof at a later time. Throughout the day I had to say to him approx. 4 times, install the door, and do not take out the soffit. And 4 times he told me to “just think about it”. Then the last thing I heard was him telling his #2 to take the soffit out. I then had to step in and say NO again! As with everything else he had touched, he wanted to open up yet another can of worms, and not complete anything he started. Needless to say, the storm door was not installed. I have expose untreated wood that not only sticks out inches from the house, but is exposed to the weather. Two weeks, and every room has a project started. Not a single thing was completed or done correctly. I had another contractor come in and look at all that was done. This contractor was floored, and tore everything apart that Joe had done, from the painting, to the trim, to the accent wall, to the flooring. I was also instructed to request from Joe his business insurance information, so that we could file a claim because we lost money paying for his labor and for the materials that will have to be replaced. I have yet to hear back regarding his insurance information. Hiring Joe was the worst, most expensive mistake we have ever made. Calculating the damage, carpet cleaning, and materials replacement he owes us approx. $1136. He told us he would have everything done on a certain day. We had two days left to go, and out of 17 task items, not a single one had been completed or done correctly. The kicker was the Pergo flooring. You don’t nail down Pergo laminate flooring (floating floor)!! When he was let go, he sent me a message telling me what the next person who lays the flooring should do. I read that message to a contractor that specializes in flooring, and he laughed and said that is all INCORRECT. What a nightmare."

"Joe was scheduled to build a deck on 4/1/19. He showed up on 4/3/19 with no explanation for 1 of 2 no show days, & I was informed within 2 hrs of expected arrival time. The deck is average, with 3 issues – 1) Instead of using a chalk line to line up screws, he used a permanent marker. 2) The 2 handrails don’t match each other, offered a partial remedy and invalid excuse, but didn’t follow through. 3) Some boards were built on top of a couple old pavers, which now will be a struggle to try and dig out. After the deck experience, I chose to weigh more heavily on the reviews I read, and looked at what was good about the experience, so I followed through on having him come back to tackle the many projects that we needed done. I would soon realize that would be a poor and costly decision, and that I should have gone with my gut, and moved on to another contractor. Even though, Joe had a very long task list and a deadline, he never felt the need to come before 9 -10a or work later than 3:30p. In 10 days, he did work until 4p twice, but he also missed two days. I guess there was no urgency to get the tasks done, because he had convinced us that we would make out better if we paid him and his crew an hourly rate, so they were getting a weekly check, and possibly dragging their feet some. Joe promotes himself as being a very experienced (40yrs), talented, knowledgeable contractor. We found his work to be poor, shoddy, and he likes to take short cuts. He is very overconfident, and claims to know how to do things, which he does not. 1) No respect for a client’s property – Example: When Joe came to our home to give us an estimate, he stated that he would protect our carpet by putting down tarps/drop cloths. Our carpet is 1.5 yrs old. Joe and his crew were the first people to walk on our carpet with shoes on, much less filthy work boots. They didn’t wear booties, nor did they put tarps/drop cloths down. Our carpet not only has debris in every room, they got dirt stains in the hall, paint stains in the closets, soaked our carpet w/ dirty bucket water in several areas and one crew member used a shop vac w/o checking that the filter was on, like he was instructed to do. So much dirt was airborne that it set off the smoke detector!! The same crew member put large holes in our drywall, used a lot of foul language, was very defiant to the others trying to give him technique instructions. I told Joe I didn’t want that person back in our home, as we were paying him $15/hr to destroy our house! 2)He has no respect for the materials he is working with – Example: It took Joe 3 hrs to install a steel exterior door. He not only scratched up the area around the handle set and strike hardware on both sides of the door, he installed the lock upside down. They either damaged, painted over, scratched up or smudged up everything they touched. He even damaged a door and returned it for another door. He damaged several pieces of Pergo flooring because he thought it would be ok to use a nail gun on a floating floor! 3)He takes your things w/o permission – Example: I went through a whole ordeal to purchase Whitewood boards to be used as decorative shelves. I had put them out in the garage w/ the rest of what I had purchased. A week later when I went to get the boards to put a stain on them and get them ready for hanging, they were gone. I asked the crew if they had seen them. Joe told me “we had to use them” because when they poorly installed the entry door, he said the wood under the threshold was rotten and they had to replace it. So, instead of him going to Lowe’s and picking up a $3 treated board, he took it upon himself to use my $10 board that is not treated and not meant to be used for construction purposes, much less be exposed to the outside. I then printed off the board info, and asked him if he goes to Lowe’s if he would pick me up another Whitewood board and I would reimburse him for it when he got back. He brought a board back, and told me he would cut and sand it. I told him it didn’t need to be sanded because it was already sanded. He said he was going to sand it anyway because of fingerprints?? I don’t know what that means, but it was not necessary to do, but yet he wants to be paid $30/hr to work on a board, that I specifically asked him to leave alone. We had a brand new ladder in the garage protected under plastic, that was still in the packaging. He opened the packaging and used the ladder! If you needed to use our ladder, why not ask me first? You just don’t help yourself. What kind of contractor doesn’t have their own ladder anyway? 4) He takes liberties when he shouldn’t, and when he does ask you a question or your opinion he doesn’t listen to your response. Example: When installing the entry door, they raised it up, therefore the storm door wouldn’t be able to clear the angled soffit. He said he could notch out the soffit and come back and build a peaked porch roof or we could just not have soffit above the door. We understood if the storm door was installed it would only be able to open a few inches. We don’t use the front door, and we wanted to address the roof at a later time. Throughout the day I had to say to him approx. 4 times, install the door, and do not take out the soffit. And 4 times he told me to “just think about it”. Then the last thing I heard was him telling his #2 to take the soffit out. I then had to step in and say NO again! As with everything else he had touched, he wanted to open up yet another can of worms, and not complete anything he started. Needless to say, the storm door was not installed. I have expose untreated wood that not only sticks out inches from the house, but is exposed to the weather. Two weeks, and every room has a project started. Not a single thing was completed or done correctly. I had another contractor come in and look at all that was done. This contractor was floored, and tore everything apart that Joe had done, from the painting, to the trim, to the accent wall, to the flooring.

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
