"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"Dave from Remodeling Experts did an awesome job with our bathroom remodeling! On short notice, Dave was able to coordinate the removal of our old vanity and toilet and returned soon after, after a separate flooring project was completed, to install a new vanity and toilet. The end result was beautiful and I appreciate the communication and coordination that Dave provided throughout the entire experience. I also want to mention that Dave’s price for the job was extremely reasonable! I’ll certainly be hiring Remodeling Experts for all of our future home improvement needs!"

"Matt and his team with MNB Renovations did a 32 x 24 addition that was basically a home build from the ground up. I am still surprised for the size of this project how stress free the process was. Matt was very detailed and checked in on everything to make sure we were getting what we wanted. In the end he asked us to make a list of anything that needed to be addressed and there was absolutely nothing to mention. They did a perfect job, the quality of the work is amazing, and the entire team was very nice, professional, and trustworthy! I absolutely recommend this company to others and will definitely use them again in the future!"

His attention to the details made for proffesional looking renovation. I'm very happy with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to hire these guys again.

"Jon and his crew were amazing to work with from start to finish! They listened to what I wanted and made my dreams come true. My parents were having a hard time on their own so I finished their basement into a little house for me and my family to be close to them to help and it turned out exactly like I wanted thanks to Jon and his crew. Donâ t hesitate, hire him today! You wonâ t be disappointed."

"Eric previously did a basement remodel for me and I had him come back to remodel three bedroom with new vinyl plank flooring, new recessed lighting, new ceiling fans and new paint. I also added French doors between two of the bedroom as well as in my home office. It all came out looking great. Eric is great to work with, provided me with a clear estimate and always kept me informed of how the project was progressing. I definitely recommend him and would hire him again in the future."

"First let me say that my wife and I have gone through the gamut of "handy-men" who specialize in home repairs and renovations. We interviewed several contractors before we initiated a contract with the Patch-Boys. It's hard to find someone you feel can do the work and you trust. But I can honestly say that from the first day I met Jason - I had a good feeling about wanting these guys to do the work on my home. In my previous house I'd had my share of butchers come in a make, what my wife and I referred to as "The Fun House" even more or a wreck with poor - but from the first day of work I knew I had made the right decision in hiring The Patch Boys, when Jason said "It's not just a project, it's a relationship between us and Patch Boys" I really believed that was how he felt. The projects results really proved he could put his money where his mouth is! The first two gents who showed up were Chris and Lee - Lee has been doing construction work since the 70s and his work was nothing short of perfection. Chris and Lee together worked with me to figure out the best way to frame the basement up. They brought out details that I had not thought of and helped me really flesh out the way the room would ultimately look. Lee also handled the light installation and electrical outlets. By the time they were done the room was starting to really take shape. I won't say who built my house, but based on the work that was done to build out the frame of my basement - I would absolutely say they were many times over more meticulous than the home builders themselves. The made sure everything was done to the best of their ability and that I was satisfies the whole way through their part of the project. Next came Angel and Alex - these two guys hung drywall like it was an Olympic event. Not only was their work excellent - finished smooth as a baby's backside, these guys were SO FAST!! Next came the flooring guys (who's names escape me) and in only a couple days they entire floor - including carpeted stairs was installed and looking amazing! Finally it was time for the the doors, trim and paint - and it was kind of unbelievable how nice everything looked when it was finished. There were a couple time I questioned things but the answers I was given more than satisfied my concerns and the end result was a beautiful usable living space in my basement that far exceeded my expectations. Every person who came here representing the Patch Boy's was of the highest caliber and utmost professional in their areas of expertise. I would 110% hire these guys for other renovations again later and I am absolutely going to bring them back to add the bathroom and finish the other side of the basement later. Jason thank you to you and your team of awesome people. It was the best home renovation experience I have ever had; you guys really set the bar high!!! In a nutshell - if you want your project to look amazing and pretty much exceed your expectations - don't hesitate these guys can make it happen."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.
