"After obtaining quotes from several contractors, we selected BNQ to finish our 1800SQFT basement and put in a bathroom around a roughed in full bath. The team was punctual, professional and left the job site clean every day. The work was done on schedule, and as issues were uncovered (as any project has), they were communicated to us and we worked together to come up with any plan forward. Having used other contractors in the past, I couldn't be happier with BNQ's quality, responsiveness and overall quality of the job."

"We had Mike and Jared remodel our daughtersâ bathroom and they did an awesome job! So much so that we hired them to remodel our master bath! Both turned out great and I would not hesitate to hire them again! They were always available and got back to us promptly. From estimate to completion these two guys were top notch!"

"If you’re looking for a contractor tackle any home remodeling project, I highly recommend C&C Home Remodeling. They recently built my new garage and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first meeting to the final walk-through, their team was professional, honest, and easy to work with (even if I wasn’t - LOL). Communication was excellent, the quality of craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and they paid attention to the little details that make the big difference. The project stayed organized, the worksite was kept clean, and the finished garage looks fantastic. I’m in real estate so I know that It’s hard to find a contractor that shows up when they say they will, takes pride in the work, and truly cares about customer satisfaction, but C&C delivered on all three. I would absolutely use them again for a future project and wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone looking for any home construction projects."

"The HomePro Remodelers, with their exceptional skills, helped make our project a huge success. They took extraordinary effort in cleaning up and were very considerate of our surroundings. Since our back porch enclosure has added so much to our lives, we are considering having our front porch also enclosed."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired him to do a pretty significant remodel on a duplex investment property. The building was old and had a lot of subpar work done by the previous owner that had to be fixed. He worked with my budget and stood by his work as he actually fixed a leak in the roof 2 months after the work had been completed. Anthony was a great partner as he told me exactly what to expected and helped me save money where possible. His knowledge of the investment/rental perspective helped me reach my goals with the duplex. I plan to buy again and will definitely be using Anthony and team for any work needed."

"I hired Luiz to remove kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, cooktop, oven and lift hardwood flooring. He then reinstalled the cabinets and appliances. Ceramic tile was installed to perfection. He also repaired some walls and painted the ceiling. Looks great! Easy to work with, very professional and fair market value pricing too. Iâ  m recommending him to my family!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

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.

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

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.
