"Fred was timely, communicative, friendly, and transparent in his process to remodel our two bathrooms. During a time of working with insurance and navigating an unforeseen situation causing both of our bathrooms to receive full remodels, Fred was very easy to work with and understanding. His work was great and still holds up to this day. Highly recommended and we will be calling him for future projects!"

"I have been extremely satisfied with this company. The supervisor is outstanding. He is honest, prompt and a good communicator. In 2017 they did some major repair work by replacing replacing wood in the eaves and paneling on the second floor of my house which is wood outside and was built in the early 1970s. They also painted the entire outside of the house. Since then I have used them for home improvements such as bathroom remodeling, replacing a window and wood frame, putting in a drain in the back yard and work in the kitchen replacing stove hood. The work is first class, the crew is courteous and efficient. They do a lot of different types of work on a house and I am very fortunate to have found them and would highly recommend them to you."

"Sergio, did a fantastic job on the remodel of my bathroom and fixing what he found during the remodel of the bathroom. He found out that I had a leak under the toilet, which had been an ongoing problem, that no one was aware of. And because it was found on a Saturday and I have only one bathroom, he made sure I had at least a toilet to use!! I would recommend Sergio and his company, Southern Bright Star Construction to anyone to have work done!"

"I contracted Tristar Avenue to do a full kitchen remodel, replace all flooring in my home, install some rails, and paint some walls. TJ Burk (the Owner) and his team were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. In the beginning I was very unsure of the exact work I wanted done. TJ took a consultative approach and listened to what I wanted and even helped make suggestions on what would be possible and look best in the space. He provided multiple quotes so that I had options to decide on a budget that I felt most comfortable with. He was patient while I went back and forth with my bank on funds, he provided resources and advice during the selection process, and once the project began I had a clear understanding of the schedule and was updated often on progress. His in house contractor who was at my house for the majority of the remodel is top knotch. He was polite, professional, friendly, and just a beast of a worker. He got things done in a timely fashion and he paid attention to details (so much so the outcome far exceeded my expectations.) I encountered many subs throughout the process (cabinet installers, appliance installers, plumbers, a team who installed the rails, and final cleaners). Each one was just as good as the last - they were all prompt, professional, courteous, and did an amazing job. The thing about Tristar Avenue that sets them apart from any other contractor Iâ ve ever encountered is their determination to go above and beyond for their clients. Just one example of this is at some point nearing the end of the project some jerk hit my mailbox - this was not one of the contractors and had absolutely nothing to do with Tristar Avenue. On the last day TJ sent his guys out with a new mailbox that he bought and had them set it up for me because he knew I was having people in town that weekend and he said â first impressions are important.â I know it can be scary hiring a contractor especially for larger projects, but I can assure you youâ re in great hands with this team. 20/10 would recommend and absolutely will be using them again for all future projects!"

"Hired Ali and his crew for a major home remodel. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom renovations, unfinished basement conversion and other projects. Very professional from beginning to end. Communication is prompt, materials were always on time, his crew were quick and knew what they are doing. We are very pleased with the end results and will hire him again if we need other work performed. Thank you!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

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.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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.

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.
