"HIVEX is truly the exemplar of a well-run, high quality, superior customer-service-providing, American small business. If you are having your basement finished or remodeled, do yourself and your home the great favor of contacting HIVEX for a consultation and estimate. From the first meeting, Chris and his team are beyond impressive, straightforward, clear in communicating, and honest, clear and consistent in financial estimates, and in payment and work schedules. They handle all permitting and municipality coordination which is, by itself, an enormous value. They have basement finishing down to a science, with the additional talent and patience to create and add cool, unique, customer-specific requests. HIVEX's work is top-notch and they stand by it. SO happy we found HIVEX! You will be too."

"The work was completed. He located the blockage in the pipe and in the process replaced the sink, faucet and disposal. It took 3 visits and significantly more money than the purchased coupon and estimated amount. I believe he was competent however, Rene, the plumber brought absolutely no equipment and few tools with him. I was paying him by the hour and he made 3 visits to Home Depot to buy tools and parts (common pvc pipe) all of which was "on the clock". He also charged me for everything he purchased including a snake that he needed in order to locate the clog in the drain. Am I wrong to expect that a plumber would have a snake? He didn't use all of the parts he purchased and gave them to me telling me that I could return them to Home Depot. However, because he used a debit card and I didn't want the money returned to that debit card, Home Depot didn't want to do the return - they did however, end up giving me store credit. He did not come at the times he said he would. He ended up doing the work very late in the afternoon stretching into the night. He left at midnight on one of the visits. I think because of the coupon they offered they have more business than they can actually handle. I chose them because their quote was cheaper than the other plumbers I called and they were offering a coupon $129 for 2 hours of work. However, in the end it cost me more than what the other plumbers quoted and I felt like I paid for a lot of time for him to run to Home Depot. I do believe he did a good job in installing the sink, faucet and disposal and he did locate the blockage using a much larger snake which was underneath the foundation floor."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.
