"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!"

"Outstanding experience with Home One, covering our master bathroom/master bedroom renovation and complete basement refinishing including a spa installation. The entire team was professional, responsive and easy to work with from beginning to end. Communication was excellent throughout the project as they kept us informed every step of the way about material delivery dates, planned daily work schedules, and subcontractor coordination. They used top-quality subcontractors for plumbing, flooring, fixtures and electrical. The team made great suggestions for materials and style choices as well, which made a use difference in the end product. The price was fair and the final cost stayed very close to the original estimate despite the large time and material scope of the project. The workmanship exceeded our expectations. We plan to use them again for an upcoming project, and highly recommend them."

"Everything is absolutely great! The basement was horrible previously and now is a place to be proud of. I might even go down there now! Lol Bathroom flooring has also made a big improvement to overall look of home. Bob was very helpful, pleasant and efficient and will definitely hire them for any future projects needed."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.
