"Sal & his team at Wheelhouse Building & Construction did an amazing remodeling job on my master bath & guest bathrooms! They listened to my concerns, drafted a plan & kept in communication with me throughout the entire process. Very professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Wheelhouse Building for your remodeling & design needs!"
"I recently completed a six-month project with NRG Remodeling, and I couldn't be more impressed! The renovation of my 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, and kitchen went smoothly from start to finish. The communication was top-notch, and the team worked quickly and efficiently, all while maintaining very fair pricing. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding, and the entire experience was stress-free—much smoother than I anticipated. It's rare to find such a professional and personable team, and I’m already planning my next project with them. I would absolutely recommend them for any home renovation and will definitely turn to them for future work!"
"Greg was very reliable & good at his job. He has a great eye for detail. We were remodeling our kitchen and found ourselves short by one cabinet. Greg took the time and made us a custom made cabinet that fit perfectly! He has always been on time and very respectful. I would definitely call him again!"
"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
"GREAT SERVICE AND BEST REMODLING GUYS Id been looking for someone to remodel my old, kind of nasty tub/shower into a nice new walk-in shower for a few months. Everyone was booked, took weeks to respond to me, and/or asking way above my budget even before we considered costs for the tile and other materials. Victor and his team really came through for us! We got an estimate within 24 hours of contacting Ybarra Professional Builders the project was completed within two weeks. We are so, so happy with the quality of service and how quickly it all came together. They even came out on a weekend to finish the installation so we would not have to go until Monday without our shower. I am hoping this is the last of my remodeling needs for a while, but I will absolutely be giving a call for all of my future projects!"

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.
Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.
Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.
Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.
