"Working with Rafael was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. From our first meeting through the final stages of the project, he remained consistently engaged, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and considerate. He went above and beyond, showing a strong commitment to quality and attention to detail. It’s clear he genuinely loves what he does—his insights throughout the process were incredibly helpful and reassuring. This was a major undertaking for me, but Rafael made me feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. Even when unexpected challenges came up, I still felt great about the experience and my decision to hire East Beach Construction. The daily crew was impressively punctual. I’d see them arrive early, waiting respectfully until their official start time. The kitchen renovation was understandably messy, but they did a good job containing the disruption and cleaning up at the end of each day. I will absolutely hire them again for future projects."

"We had our master bath completely demolished and rebuilt. We were very nervous because we’d never taken on a project like this, but we purchased a 30 year old home knowing we’d have to. We got 2 separate estimates that came in almost identical in price, so we were comfortable we were well within the industry standard for this type of work. The plan was laid out for us and carried out exactly as promised. Everything was handled professionally and we’re extremely pleased with the quality of the work. If we were ever in a situation to require this type of work again in the future, there wouldn’t be 2 estimates because we wouldn’t bother calling anyone else. We would be totally comfortable recommending this contractor to anyone, and would not hesitate to rehire this contractor again ourselves. This was our first experience with a bathroom remodel and it couldn’t have gone any better. We’re thrilled with the outcome."

"Far and away the only company we use for all our home maintenance, repairs and even had them do a complete kitchen remodel. The integrity of the owner is rare these days. Honest, on time finish barring beyond control outside factors, clean, high quality work that they stand behind. Have had a 15 year plus relationship and they have not cut corners as they have grown. Highly recommend!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

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. 

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.

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.
