"E was a great contractor to work with. He communicated consistently about the project, upheld the quotes he gave us for each phase, handled unexpected delays (damaged products that had to be reordered) well, and worked in a timely manner on our basement. He is personable and offered insight and suggestions where needed. I felt very comfortable having him in our home doing work while we were home and while we were gone. We highly recommend Unlimited Handiworks!"

"Don's Improvements did a great job with our master bath tear-out and remodel. I submitted a photo and drawing of our project on Angie and Tracy with Don's Improvements, responded and scheduled a site visit. Tracy brings decades of construction experience and helped guide us from concept to detailed plan. They put us in touch with a great local tile company, Dehart Tile in Christiansburg. There, Carlie was a big help with tile and design choices. Tracy gave us a detailed proposal laying out the scope of work, price and timeline. Donnell did the remodel work, and he is highly skilled in the crafts for our job, carpentry, drywall, tile, and wood flooring. Donnell is a true perfectionist and is great to work with. We had to replace some subflooring that had water damage. He was very clear about what was required to correct the hidden damage and the cost. Communication throughout the job was excellent. We are very pleased with our new bath. We highly recommend Don's Improvements."

"We can’t recommend highly enough Signature Structures/Bill Birdlebough and Luke Schindler. They are professional and their attention to detail was truly impressive. We had a half bath and master bath remodeled. Signature Structures communicated with us throughout the project. They listened to our preferences and ideas and also offered helpful suggestions during the project. Signature Structures are skilled and meticulous in their work. They do a quality job and are reliable. They also kept the work area clean throughout the project. We are excited with the results in both bathrooms. Highly recommend Signature Structures/Bill Birdlegough and Luke Schnidler for your home improvement projects. We will use them again."

"We would 100% recommend Specialty Contracting for your remodeling needs. We couldn’t be happier with our bathroom/closet remodel! The entire team was a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation through the final reveal. They listened carefully to our needs and preferences and provided expert guidance throughout the design process. They kept us informed every step of the way and promptly addressed our questions or concerns. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the finished space are truly impressive. Our new bathroom/closet exceeds our expectations, and we’re grateful to Specialty Contracting for bringing our vision to life!"

"Destiny Builder is a first class, responsive, professional group. Guillermo ensured that our bathroom project was done quickly and the craftsmanship was excellent! Our installer worked diligently and knew how to improvise when parts were missing from the shower door box. We will hire them for our kitchen remodel next. Fantastic!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

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.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.

It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.
