"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."

"They did a great job. Needed handicap railings going down to my basement. They gave me everything I wanted. Now I can get down there safely and more importantly get back upstairs. Thanks Kurtis."

"We highly recommend Mirabella Construction. We recently hired them for our kitchen remodel. Not only did they have the lowest bid, but the project was finished ahead of schedule. Rob was understanding when we made changes and helped with design & color scheme choices. He had excellent recommendations for cabinet, granite and tile suppliers. He was professional, upbeat and you can easily see he takes pride and enjoys his work.  We love our new kitchen and will be using Mirabella Construction when we are ready for our next project!"

"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

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.

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.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

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.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.
