"Fred remodeled my master bathroom doing a beautiful job! He was willing to listen to my ideas and needs. I was so pleased that I hired him to redo a second bathroom, and replace carpet in several areas with luxury laminate."

Customers say: True professional

"They were very professional and did great work. They did everything from running gas lines, electrical, flooring, painting, etc. They were prompt, they cleaned up when they were done at the end of the day and also when the job was done. I would definitely recommend them. We are actually hiring them again to do bathrooms and painting and remodeling the rest of the house."

"We are so lucky to have found Pappas Enterprises. They have completed a lot of work for us to date. They remodeled my bedroom, made a new walk in closet, repaired a leaky wall in my son's bedroom, painted around our house, repaired leaks, replaced a very difficult window and helped with our pool installation. These guys know this business inside and out. Their work is of the highest quality. I have a long list of things for them to do."

"I am a property manager for a non-profit that rents single family homes to people with disabilities. Jermie, came to our aid quickly and responded to an emergency situation.  AHS work was very good. They are experienced and gave us a good price.  However, when trying to approve a new project, I asked for more details on the quote to I could figure the cost per square foot for flooring replacement. Jermie was offended by additional questions about his quote. He told me he no longer wanted to do work for our organization and hung up on me.  My co-worker said I was not being harsh or offensive. I was just needing more info to get my boss' approval.  If you are a good people person, maybe you can handle him better than I did.  But it was a very strange response to reasonable questions. I don't know about you, but we ask questions on a 14K bid."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

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, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
