"Marteeny installed all of our interior doors, trim, baseboards, etc. They gave us good options and recommendations and the final product has made our home look so much more elegant. The re-sale value will be greatly impacted by their design and attention to detail. I would recommend Marteeny for any project, large or small. They also installed our bathroom tile which looks awesome! Thanks Paul!"

"Paul was great to work with. We hired him to finish our basement, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and reliable throughout the project. All work was completed on schedule and to a high standard using trusted subcontractors. Since we live in San Diego and couldn’t be onsite, his honesty and dependability meant a lot to us. We’d highly recommend him."

"I hired A&R Remodeling to paint the exterior of my house. They were very prompt on getting a quote together, and were able to perform the job at a very reasonable price. They were extremely professional, and very thorough in performing all the needed prep work to make sure that the end product would be high quality. I am completely satisfied with the work they performed and would highly recommend them for any exterior painting."

"Justin worked so hard to make sure our insurance company got us what we needed, that we were back in our house as quickly as possible, and my children would be safe. He was so very helpful, it would not have gone nearly as smoothly with anyone else!"

"We recently completed a full kitchen renovation, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. A huge part of this success goes to Tommy, our project manager. From day one, Tommy was incredibly organized, communicative, and detail-oriented. He kept the entire crew on schedule, managed every moving part with ease, and was always available to answer our questions or provide expert advice. Thank you very much."

"I interviewed several companies and quickly found myself gravitating towards actual contractors rather than the sales representatives for remodel companies. Shannon was by far the most knowledgeable about the kind of problems that might emerge in a 1950s house. His bid made sense, and we worked out a strategy for acquiring the materials I really wanted rather than a pre-packaged plan. The process of removal bared several problems with dry rot that I half expected, weird things done to the floor joists and wall studs by a previous remodel that I hadn't expected, and good flooring under a surface for which I had concerns. The result went smoothly, and communication was always good."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

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.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
