"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."

"I am in the military and have moved over a dozen times in my 20 years of service. As such, I am used to moving into new homes at new duty stations and am often looking to do some fixing up after arriving. It was no different when I arrived in Rhode Island. We hired Tom Harrop of Harrop and Son for our basement and double bathroom remodel. He was the first contractor to respond to the request for an estimate and called several times as I interviewed other companies. He was patient and waited for me to complete the interview process. In the end I chose him not just for his price point, but he was genuinely excited about helping me out and seemed very much in sync with our ideas. We ended up hiring Tom, Mike, Mark, and the rest of his crew and couldn't be any happier. Tom gave us the exact basement we pictured but also added countless little finishing touches that made the 5 weeks he spent in our home actually enjoyable. He is very trustworthy, easy to talk to, and works with you throughout the entire process. The initial contract was to finish a basement, first floor bathroom remodel, and paint out the first floor and stairwell. Tom took it upon himself to also install some extra much needed storage, including custom shelving, and countless other touches. As he neared completion, we extended his contract to a complete demo/remodel of the upstairs second bath. After he was done with it, I think it might be nicer than the master! Bottom line, you won't do any better than Harrop and Son. His price was more than fair, stayed exactly on budget, was easy to work with and end result was magnificent. I will definitely be using him again. He has earned my 5 star recommendation!!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

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.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

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.
