Customers say: True professional

"I recommend Martin Hartel without hesitation. He and his crew are the best contractors I have ever dealt with. I am so happy and fortunate to have been able to use their services to complete our dream basement. First of all, Martin has so much experience, expertise and skill. His craftsmanship is impeccable. And his ability to work with you to pull out your ideas, and turn them into reality, is awesome. He is extremely patient and smart, and knows how to balance cost and quality to deliver what you want at a fair price. Some of the things that most impressed me were his attention to detail, desire to do quality work, and just their overall goal to make sure the client is happy. I could tell he was treating my job as if he was finishing his own basement. The framing and wiring were impeccable. Many contractors will do sloppy work with wiring, figuring it will be covered anyway. Martin’s wiring was so clean, smartly run, and used the best materials. The subcontractors he works with are also top notch. The drywall and painting were done quickly and to a high standard. Finally, the overall design and fit and finish were excellent. Everyone who sees our basement is blow away. From the wet bar, to the bathroom, to the custom iron railing, everything is perfect. And I can tell you that his price was substantially better than what the builder wanted to basically do four walls and lighting. Honestly I’m so pleased I wish he could remodel my whole house! If your considering a basement remodel project, do yourself a favor and try to get on Martin’s schedule. You won’t regret it!"

"It started with a phone call, an estimate request, a schedule, design consultation and a signed estimate of materials and labor. Tom, Roberta, Mike, Drue and the Red Truck HVAC crew, helped to make our four season room project a success in spite of the July 4th storm disruptions. The whole team - especially Mike and Drue - was responsive to our questions and ideas. We are enjoying our lanai addition every day. We enthusiastically recommend Home One."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

Yes, you can add a door to your basement—it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you’re using the basement as a bedroom. A basement contractor can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.

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.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
