"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."
"We hired Paolo to remodel our kitchen/dining room/living room area. He did a wonderful job making my vision a reality! I gave him a drawing on a sheet of paper and he made everything happen! His crew is tidy and super nice. Definitely want to hire again!!!"

"I sent pictures of my space, and talked with a designer on the phone. But it was near the holidays and due to time constraints by the designer and by myself, we never got back together for suggestions. After so much time had passed, and the deal had expired, I just never contacted them again."
"Jake and his team were great. They installed as agreed and did so in a professional manner. The project took a couple of days but they held to their word and did everything well. Very customer focused and will work until you are happy. Highly recommend."
"The crew that was sent out to replace roof was good. However, very disappointed in the professionism of the owner. I know there were some personal issues going on at the time but the way "we" the clients were handle was not professional. I can't recommend this company. A project that should have take only a couple of days was draw out into months. Work was only completed and not really to my liking after lots of emails and voice mails."
"We didn't have a huge budget to remodel our whole bathroom, but Tom was able to make it happen. The tiling job he did looks great. Some of the time, he was not at the job site and had his workers paint and do other jobs. I was not as satisfied with some of the work they did, such as painting, but Tom came back and corrected most of it. I would use Tom again and just ask that he be present at the job site the whole time. "

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:
Pros
Can increase the value of your home
Separate space from the rest of the house
Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style
Increase the amount of living space in your home
Cons
May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing
Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level
Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage
Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
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.
Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.
Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.
Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance.
An unfinished basement has a lot of potential for a family room or guest suite. So how much does it cost to finish a basement? Read on for all cost factors.
Hiring a bad basement remodeler can wreak havoc on the look and longevity of your unfinished space. Here are red flags to look for as you vet basement contractors.
