"I had a leaking roof and needed to get a new one quickly. Lo's Contracting had the best bid and time frame. I'm happy with the end result however it was a bit a fiasco. When putting on the roof there was a bad rainstorm at night and only the underlayment was down at that point. Water came in through almost every room in the house. As you can imagine, I was freaking out! However, I was able to get a hold of one of the workmen who called it in and everyone came out that night around 8pm in the dark and rain and put tarps over the entire house. They brought in huge de-humidifiers the next day and had them running for a few days which seemed to dry everything up. (Lo's Contracting paid for the extra electricity that the de-humidifiers used). They also replaced the insulation in the attic crawlspace at no cost. Three years later there was a leak around one of the nails and pipe collar on the roof, which reading up on does happen(not sure if it should happen after 3 years(that's why the B...but) Amadou was quick to check it out the same day I called and then sent someone as soon as their schedule allowed, a couple days. I appreciate them fitting me in to the schedule and responding so quickly and apologetically. They also cleaned my house after all was done. Amadou, the owner, and Marlon and his team were great to work with, friendly and fixed a couple little things that weren't on the bid at not cost. I would hire again - I'm just not doing anything during the rainiest months of the year again!"

"These folks were wonderful! They helped us do renovations on a 100 yr old house starting with restoration of a previously flooded finished basement. They did a fantastic kitchen remodel with new cabinets, counters, and tile. They helped us get a landscaping master plan and then we used them to do the hardscape including a beautiful 18 X 18 paver patio. I liked the way they do things right, and gave me advice along the way that I could trust."

"We had a rental property which we needed to update and remodel the kitchen of. Christian came out and was very professional, respectful and had a ton of insight regarding our project. Wealth of experience between Christian and his father. The work was completed on time and on budget. We truly could not have asked for a better general contractor. I would highly highly recommend Harris and Sons to anyone looking for a remodeling contractor."

"After interviewing several contractors for our kitchen and bathroom remodel, my husband and I felt immediately at ease with Matt. His professionalism and integrity shine through the moment you meet him. We initially bid out a modest bathroom and kitchen facelift in an old 1900's farmhouse. With his insight and resources, we were able to completely remodel both in addition to updates throughout the rest of our home (refinished hardwoods, paint, carpet, etc.). We had an aggressive timeline and he delivered on time and kept within our budget (aside from our requested change orders). Matt and his team of subcontractors surpassed our expectations and were lovely to work with. Matt was always available (never missed our calls) and patient with us throughout all the phases of our remodel. All whilst navigating effortlessly through the various COVID restrictions. We also had the pleasure of working with his lovely wife, Jacqui, who guided us through all the design elements. She made the overwhelming task of choosing paint, fixtures, faucets, tile, flooring etc., fun and fluid. She even showed up as we moved into our home equipped with homemade soup for lunch and helped us unpack! We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with Ziebart Construction and highly recommend them! We will be working with them again on future projects."

"I just had Elm Construction Services replace the roof on our new home. I have to say, I’m really impressed. We went with asphalt shingles and they look beautiful! What I loved most was how professional everyone was. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and actually cleaned up better than I expected - you’d never know they were even here. They were also super patient with all my questions (and I had a lot!). The quality of their work is top-notch. You can tell they really care about doing things right, not just getting it done quickly. My neighbors have even commented on how great the roof looks. If you’re in the Lake Oswego or Portland area and need roofing work done, I’d definitely recommend giving Elm Construction Services a call. It’s such a relief to find a contractor you can trust who actually delivers on their promises!"

Basement Remodel FAQs, 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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. 

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.
