"Our remodel with Patriot Construction went exceptionally well. Paul and his crew are excellent at what they do and we continue to use them as projects come up. This was our third remodel and the best one by far. Paul is honest, fair, punctual and has a great and talented crew. Finding a good contractor can be a long and frustrating process. After our first several meetings with Paul, we knew he was the right fit. He had great ideas for our remodel, was priced fairly and was very straightforward and honest in what was/wasn’t possible with our budget. He’s very communicative which really helps minimize any surprises or misunderstandings. The work he and his crew did was/is top notch and we love our new house. We will continue using and recommending Patriot Construction as long as we live in the Austin area. Thanks for the great work!!"
An idea of how you can turn a vaulted ceiling into a cool and useable space.
This used to be a dark and dirty attic. Conversions like this can be a great way to add square footage. With structural changes being one of our strengths, we can show you how to maximize your
space.
Lighting can transform any space into something magical.
Why be normal? Wall tile and a hexagonal stain glass window created an awesome mood for this homeowner.
Herringbone mosaic is very time consuming, but the results are worth it.

"We recently completed a home renovation with this company and I honestly can?t recommend them enough. From day one, we felt like we were in good hands. The project manager gave us personal attention throughout the entire process ? always available, patient, and on top of every detail. The designers were amazing and immediately understood our style and what we were looking for. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, with no delays or unnecessary stress. Every stage was handled on time and with great care, and the final result turned out even better than we imagined. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a renovation. Great service, professional and caring team, and most importantly"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. 

However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

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.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote.
