"Brian did an amazing job finishing our townhome’s basement. We needed help with electrical, HVAC, drywall, and so much more. He did it all! He was very punctual, professional, and detailed in his work. Got everything up to code for us, and helped install our home theater with in wall surround sound speakers, a mounted TV, and all the wiring to the AV receiver. When we had some guys come in to do the missing and texture, Brian also helped with translating for us, since he speaks Spanish. He also was very clean and our dog loved him, which is unusual lol. Excellent service and will hire him for larger projects again! Would recommend for any home projects!"

"I stumbled on Compass Bath and Remodel quite by accident, and I’m glad I did. Russ Nay and his associates did a tremendous job remodeling my master bath. I got a great impression of Russ from the start. He was quick to respond, showed up in person to survey the job, listened intently to my ideas, offered up some of his own, and had a draft plan and estimate ready the next day. He has an eye for detail, and didn’t miss a thing. Russ was flexible and adaptable, and each step in the process was well coordinated. He and all of his associates were very personable and professional. I actually enjoyed watching the process; it was a great experience. I’ll be keeping his contact info readily available so I can call him again for future projects. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083363486803 https://share.google/LghFVsBJfM4Qxlz8W Russ’s contact info (Compass Bath and Remodel LLC): (801) 678-2880 [email protected]"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

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.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
