"Frank and his team do exquisite work. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship display the high standards of construction work the company is able to perform. For over two years Frank (and Steve) have more than delivered and in truly remarkable ways. Each project is a work of art: from the replacement of windows and doors to upgrading the porch, entryway, and the balcony to the repair of damaged stairs and downspouts to the complete remodeling of the basement, to name a few! He has transformed our house into something beautiful and extraordinary while mercifully keeping our budget in mind! From the outset, Frank listened and incorporated our desires. He gave helpful suggestions and executed them far better than we had proposed. We are very satisfied clients and recommend him highly for home improvement projects both big and small. Frank is a master when it comes to construction projects, honest, capable, and a fine gentleman, to boot! We cannot praise him enough!"

"Dover completely remodeled our master bathroom. New tile, fixtures, and light in shower. New custom vanity with a cabinet on the counter to hide the cords from devices like hair dryers and beard trimmers. New tile floor. Moved the existing door opening slightly and installed a barn door, New light fixture and fan. New drywall, new subfloor, and replaced some uneven framing in the ceiling. It looks great and we are very happy with the way it turned out."
The sunporch easily accommodates both outdoor conversation seating and dining sets. Finishing the comfortable indoor/outdoor living space, electrical wiring provides power for the ceiling fan and can lights above, with additional outlets for a TV, speakers and other items—everything the homeowners need to enjoy a fresh, inviting living area.
The sunporch addition was designed for easy living at every touchpoint: Sturdy, lightweight framing materials create the gabled roof and side panel construction, including maintenance-free aluminum posts capped in vinyl, so there’s no paint to touch up or chipping to worry about long-term.
Because the homeowners wanted an unobstructed view and ventilation for their firepit table, screens are run from floor to ceiling along the walls. Added screened entry doors on both sides provide easy access to the room from the yard and adjoining patio.
The new sunporch is a large, open-air living space (11' x 14') with floor-to-ceiling screened panels for excellent ventilation and unrestricted views with a full room for protection.

"Freedom Contracting did a fantastic job on our bathroom remodel! We are so happy with how it looks. It needed remodeling so bad. Brandon and his crew consulted with us every step of the way. Made suggestions along the way that really made the difference. They are very knowledgeable and when they start a job they stay on it till completion. Dependable and trustworthy. We will be recommending them to everyone we know. Ray & Cathi Fiorentino"

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Lorain, 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.
