"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."

"Working with Maison was better than we could have imagined. My husband and I usually do most home projects on our own since we have heard horror stories about working with contractors. But our project involved creating an opening and stairs into the garage from the main house to the unfinished space above our garage. This was not something we could do ourselves not with juggling work and kids. Originally, the space above the garage could only be accessed by deck stairs outside. This was not ideal for us. We have three boys and did not want them to have to go outside to get to this room. We wanted to create a recreation room for this space, a place for our family to hang out. We had multiple area contractors come to give us a quote. Most of them did not want to tackle doing the stairs. They offered to finish the room but not do the stairs. Either we would not hear back from them, or they gave us quotes that were enough to build a brand-new house. We had given up hope on finding a contractor, so we decided just to contract somebody to do the stairs, and we would do the rest ourselves. Initially, we were asking Ken for a quote just for the stairs. But he wanted to do the whole job. Our first impression of Ken was that he was a good guy, so we took a leap of faith because we had become very skeptical of all contractors at that point. Maison pleasantly surprised us. Their work was ahead of schedule and meticulous. Ken and his crew were professional and a pleasure to work with. They exceeded our expectations. They were mindful to our work and family schedule. We would not hesitate to use them again. We recommend them for any home project you may have."

"Worst Experience Ever.I contracted with the company to do a complete remodel of my master bathroom and powder room. In the master bathroom, they were to remove the tub, install a tiled shower in its place, tile floor, new vanity, vent fan, install fixtures, plumbing etc. I supplied all materials for the job. I have never been involved in such a remodeling disaster before and this is not my first major remodeling. I did due diligence, searched Angie's List (2018 superstar?) and got a reference for a similar job. I signed the contract and things went downhill from there. Slated to start 5/6/2019, picked out vanity and made arrangements to visit counter top fabricator for selection in March. All material selected and ordered timely although questions regarding quantity of tile and other items had to be made repeatedly before a response was received. I spent time coordinating everything to the cabinets when they showed up with the wrong cabinet. Turns out the cabinets I had ordered (two different finishes) were no longer available and I would have to select another color. Delay. And these vanities do not have as durable a finish on them. They pulled the old bathtub out and; it sat like a rusting hulk in my driveway for 3 weeks preventing us from parking in the driveway. We asked about it and were told that a pick up would be scheduled. The only thing that happened was after 3 weeks, my husband and I broke up the cast iron tub into pieces small enough to put in the dumpster. At least I could park close enough to get the groceries in the house. The shower pan they ordered was the wrong size. I lost some space there as they tore out the wall board and built out the space to match the shower pan they ordered. They grossly over-estimated how much tile was necessary and delayed work for so long I missed the ability to return any of it. I had enough floor tile left to re-tile another room. The workers only come sporadically - the estimated completion was 6/10/19. Completion did not occur until August 13. The shower leaked, it took them two weeks to fix. The grout in the shower floor did not set properly, over two weeks to come back. I got an email saying go ahead and use the shower it won't hurt anything. Except every time you ran water in the shower bits of grout floated down the drain. They tried to fix by putting caulk in the lines (the shower floor had 3 different grout colors) but I found that unacceptable. They were scheduled to come on August 8, but did not show until the following week. Never received communication, in fact they were frequently scheduled to show but didn't....again no one thinks to notify the homeowner. At various times, I completed their incomplete work just to get it done. Painting not completed (door trim, linen closet shelves), they assembled the cabinets in my dining room floor with glue, hammer, nails and no drop cloth on my antique oriental rug. My son and I spent a year renovating his house and use multiple contractors from Angie's list to complete the work. I've left a number of stellar reviews for those vendors as their work and professionalism were high. This contractor, however, despite their rating was a disaster."

"KM and TM Construction did a great job rescreening my porch and added a handrail for the steps. They used as much of the existing frame as possible which saved on costs. The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up well. The job was completed earlier than anticipated."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.
