"Mike Krause and his son Dan removed my old 20 foot wooden deck and replaced it with a beautiful 30 foot trex deck with lights and steps. They did an excellent job and finished in a short time. This is was the fourth time. I hired Mike Krause."

"I couldn't be happier with the work! The landscaper came to my house on Tuesday, and I asked if there was any way the project could be completed before July 4th. I honestly thought it was a long shot, but he and his team made it happen—they had everything finished by Friday. They graded the entire area around my pool, delivered the rock the very next day, spread it evenly, and left everything looking beautiful. They worked efficiently, paid attention to the details, and cleaned up so well that there wasn't a single mess left behind. A special shoutout to Sean, who operated the bobcat. He did an excellent job and was clearly skilled at what he was doing. The entire crew came in, worked hard, and knocked the project out quickly without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, professional landscaping. I'll definitely be hiring them again for future projects. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!"

"We hired Jimmy Wrenn for a full basement remodel, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the communication was clear, honest, and professional. The crew showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and paid close attention to detail throughout the project. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and the project was completed on schedule and within budget. Any questions or small changes we had were handled quickly and without hassle. Our basement has been completely transformed into a beautiful, functional space, and we’ve already received compliments from friends and family. I would highly recommend Jimmy Wrenn to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality remodeling work."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.
