"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"Fabiano and his son, Will, did an excellent job of staining and installing crown molding in our HAVERTOWN, PA kitchen. Both gentlemen are “good people,” hard working, responsive, and earning of high praise."

"I am pleased that my bath rooms are much nicer than before the project.  I was disappointed with the way it was completed.  I asked as the onset the approximate time frame and I was told two weeks.  There were a few change orders but by their own time estimates it would have been a 3 week project.  It took 6 weeks and it ended because I just could not take it anymore.  You start with Alex who I do believe would like things to go well but he subcontracts and then really loses control.  The contractor works usually 9-12 or 9-2p.  In the six weeks, there were only a couple of days that were complete 8 hour days.  Beware of the term contractor grade in the bid. I was told that this was a better grade of product but it was not.  I ended up purchasing the majority of the products used and was told that I used very high grade products.  My products were just purchased from Lowes and Home depot and were not the "top of the line".  Also, there was very little concern over respecting my house.  The project was extremely messy--not just construction dirt.  I fully expected plenty of dust and dirt but there splattered paint. It is obvious when I clean my "high grade" floor tile, which I do by hand, that a lot of paint was spilled and not completely cleaned up not totally noticeable until I cleaned it the first time.  In addition, the tub has two chips, again not noticeable until I cleaned up the mess left behind. My hardwood floors are scratched.  The excuse for this was being passed on to a sub-subcontractor plumber.  I don't know who did it I just know that it is done.  The offer to fix it was to "try" to cover it up.  I live in the country and trash removal was a mess.  They did not provide the dumpster that they said would happen.  The trash was piled up outside the doors and I am still picking up pieces of dry wall, pipe, broken fixes, etc.  Be sure to demand the dumpster.  I was told it could not be delivered to my house this is not true because I have had large dumpsters in the past.  I believe this was a cost cutting on the part of the contractor.
I grade them an overall C based on how bad my bath rooms were and the fact that they are now better. I am just warning you that you need to be aware of the process concerns that I have listed above.  The 6 weeks cost me additionally, paying a nephew to sit with the house the majority of the time since I have limited vacation time and not expecting 6 weeks. It is difficult to take vacation time from work and have them work just 4 hours.    I began thinking that this became a money pit.  The cost above is not inclusive of all the expenses of this project. 
I have waited to write this review to make sure that I am fair in my response.  I have given it time and all of the above is a fair "nutshell' evaluation of the project."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.
