"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."

"Custom Construction did an excellent job painting bedrooms and hallway walls, ceilings and trim and bathroom ceiling. They contacted us quickly with an estimate, and responded promptly during the job. Very professional and courteous, on time, cleaned up every day. They were meticulous with their work and their crew finished efficiently. We are very happy with the work they did and would hire them again. Highly recommend them"

"I do not have enough good things to say about Jim and Lori from Elite Builders. They often joke that you become a member of their family once you hire them for a job. However, they're not joking. It's true! I hired Elite Builders approximately six months ago for a kitchen remodel that involved sanding and refinishing of my existing kitchen cabinets, installation of new quartz countertops, and installation of a new faucet and sink. Lori responded promptly to our Home Advisor request and put together an estimate that was fair and reasonable. Throughout the kitchen remodel, Jim and Lori responded promptly to my texts and phone calls--including at night and on weekends. They did everything that they promised to do when they promised to do it. They made the entire process easy. I could not be happier with the end result. My respect for Jim and Lori only grew when I experienced a roof leak a few weeks ago. The morning after I texted Lori a video of water pouring into our attic, Jim and his assistant Chris were at my door ready to fix the leak. It is this amazing customer service that will keep me coming back to Elite Builders for all of my home improvement needs."

"Harrop & Son Remodeling is by far the best construction company I have had the pleasure of hiring. We were hiring for a complete basement remodel and the owner, Tom, called immediately after submitting our inquiry to Home Advisor. Harrop & Son was 1 of 3 companies to give us a quote and they landed well ahead of the competition. Tom was professional, very detailed in his quote, and was extremely knowledgeable about his craft. Honesty was a big reason I hired Harrop & Son. While the competition was ridiculously over pricing the job and looking to take advantage, Tom came in and provided me with an honest quote that was half the price of the competition but afforded double the square footage and a full bathroom, which had been out of the question for the other companies. It was clear that Tom really cared about getting you excellent value for your money. They started right on time and they blew me away with how professional and courteous they were from day 1. They made excellent use of their time and I never saw any of the crew not working. The Foreman, Rick, was excellent and I had complete confidence that when Tom was off site, Rick had everything under control. From the owner down to the sub contractors, everyone was extremely professional and did excellent work. The work completed by Harrop & Son is beyond exceptional. They truly are masters of their craft. They were very detailed in their work and anything they touched had maximum effort put into it. Very little changes were made throughout the process, but for the ones that were, Tom was extremely welcoming and was always 1 step ahead. The whole remodel was kept within the quoted price and the work completed far exceeded my expectations. We couldn't be happier with Tom, his crew, and the remodel they completed for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Harrop & Son Remodeling to anyone I come across looking for home renovations. We have a few other home renovations planned for the near future and I will not hesitate to contact Tom to have them back."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

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.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.

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.
