"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 loved working with Dallas. He helped me design how I could change my basement to achieve what I wanted. He is very professional and was always at my house when he said he would be. He sourced great materials and kept me informed of costs. I would highly recommend him."

"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

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

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. 

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.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage.
