"The Ground Up crew took their time to make sure I was happy with the outdoor painting project. They also cleaned up some splattered paint from a previous paint company. They were on time and kept me updated as the project progressed . This was an excellent experience and I would hire them again."

"I reached out to a lot of other construction companies before signing contract with Tradesman construction. Thorough professionals, prompt responses, no surprises! Special shout out to Hunter Lewis, always provided cost effective options for problems, always available for quick questions, timely updates on project progress, polite and patient. It was a pleasure working with Tradesman Construction for my basement finishing project and I would highly recommend them for any remodeling, basement finish or any such projects!!"

Customers say: Quick response

"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 questions, answered by experts

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

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.

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.

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.
