"I will start by saying that every single person who worked on our bathroom, from the team that did the demo to the people who did finishing touches, was so nice and kept everything as clean as they possibly could. You hear horror stories about renovations and this is definitely not that but I will say I do not believe I got what I paid well above average for - less stress and more attention to detail. I thought having a designer and a project manager would make the whole process less stressful. Even with the significant sum I paid for the designer, things were overlooked and decisions ended up being made on the fly, without consulting me. The big ones were 1) installing a custom shelf that was significantly too small for the space and filling the large gap with caulk instead of just admitting the measurements were off and they needed to order a new shelf. They did ultimately replace and reinstall the shelf at my request. After months of waiting for the new shelf to be installed, there is still a big gap but it’s in the back and I just want to this to be over so I’m not asking for it to be fixed. 2) The spacing of the tiles in one area of the bathroom required some problem solving because they didn’t fit evenly along the wall. The way it was done initially looked sloppy. They were willing to redo it but this required me to purchase more materials. I wish I had been consulted before they were installed. Within 2 months of installation, the grout in our shower cracked. When they came to replace the shelf that they installed even though it was too small, they agreed to fix the grout in the shower. When we got home, we realized the spots where the grout was touched up were done with a totally different grout - one that is not seen anywhere else in our bathroom. This was definitely an odd choice/oversight but mistakes happen… but then when we told the project manager this happened and it needed to be fixed, he told us that the guy just used the grout we gave him! First of all, we did not give this man any grout. Second of all, we are not the professionals here so if this man saw that the grout he thought he was supposed to be using was a completely different color (definitely not mistakable for the grout in our shower) why would he, a professional, not come to us and ask us to confirm that we actually wanted him to use that grout? While the lack of attention to detail and the poor planning bothered me throughout the process, this refusal to take accountability and instinct to blame us for something that we should not and could not be responsible for is what pushed me to leave this review. Lastly, the grout on the walls is a different color than the floor but some of the wall grout color got on the floor in the areas where the floor and wall meet. I thought this would be resolved by the cleaners if they scrubbed it hard enough but they just left and it’s still there. The cleaners also only cleaned the bathroom, not the two connecting bedrooms that were also coated in dust throughout this process like I would have expected."

"Bad Experience. Bait and Switched us. Told us the no more than cost of our removal verbally and then said he needed $4k to do the design with us and get final firm contract after that. I told him I was skeptical giving him $4k and then have him come back with contract stating it would cost a big percent more. He assured me “he is not that kind of guy”. Then after the design and a smaller scope he wanted to charge us 30% more. Took our money and we now have to start over with a new contractor."

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:
Replacing insulation
Replacing carpet or other flooring
Adding heating and cooling
Adjusting or adding walls and doors
Altering or adding plumbing elements
If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:
Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel
Installing light fixtures yourself
Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones
Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary
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.
