"Martin and his team remodeled my super large basement and they did such magnificent job that we want to spend all day there. It has become the most beautiful part of our house, and the most entertaining, with our ping pong table, games, beds for guests and what not. The job went impeccably and we never had a hint of dust in the house. I recommend Martin Hartel without a blink!! A real Máster of his specialty (basements)"

"Dave from Remodeling Experts did an awesome job with our bathroom remodeling! On short notice, Dave was able to coordinate the removal of our old vanity and toilet and returned soon after, after a separate flooring project was completed, to install a new vanity and toilet. The end result was beautiful and I appreciate the communication and coordination that Dave provided throughout the entire experience. I also want to mention that Dave’s price for the job was extremely reasonable! I’ll certainly be hiring Remodeling Experts for all of our future home improvement needs!"

"Jon and his crew were amazing to work with from start to finish! They listened to what I wanted and made my dreams come true. My parents were having a hard time on their own so I finished their basement into a little house for me and my family to be close to them to help and it turned out exactly like I wanted thanks to Jon and his crew. Donâ t hesitate, hire him today! You wonâ t be disappointed."

"I had a basement remodel project that included new flooring, some new framing/walls, removal of a drop ceiling, new drywall ceiling, new lighting, and new paint. Working with Eric was great. He kept in constant contact and kept me updated all along the way. He made some suggestions that improved the overall project and always kept me informed if there would be any changes to cost. He always kept me informed on the schedule even if there was a small change to a subcontractor coming earlier or later than originally discussed. The job was completed on time and on budget, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Eric (Somrok Inc.) again for a future project and highly recommend him."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

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.

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

Create a checklist, reimagine the space use, set a realistic budget, choose materials and aesthetic details, and get professional support for guidelines and troubleshooting.
