"Never presented a bill for work. Would just be halfway through a task and ask for money. Did an appalling job refinishing my floor and I had to get it redone. Way overcharged for work done. Then disappeared from sight.

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"Net Zero Design deserves the highest praise for their outstanding work on transforming my basement in Vermont from a lackluster storage space into a breathtaking game/media room, complete with an extra bedroom and bathroom. The project exceeded all expectations, turning what was once a seemingly unusable area into the jewel of my home. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence displayed by Net Zero Design throughout the renovation process were truly remarkable. The game/media room is a masterpiece. The team's creative vision and skillful execution have resulted in a space that combines functionality with aesthetics. From custom-built entertainment units to carefully chosen lighting fixtures, every element contributes to the overall ambiance of the room. The addition of an extra bedroom and bathroom has not only increased the livable space in my home but has also added tremendous value. The seamless integration of these new elements into the existing layout showcases the expertise and meticulous planning of the Net Zero Design team. Communication was transparent and efficient throughout the project. They kept me informed of the progress, promptly addressed any concerns, and ensured that the final result aligned with my vision. The transformation was completed within the agreed-upon timeframe, showcasing their commitment to punctuality and professionalism. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of the basement renovation. Net Zero Design has turned what was once a forgotten space into a focal point of my home. If you're looking for a general contractor with a keen eye for design, craftsmanship, and the ability to turn dreams into reality, Net Zero Design is the clear choice. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any home renovation project."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Adding a bathroom to your basement can increase your home value since homes with multiple bathrooms sell for more. The return on investment (ROI) for a basement bathroom is 50% to 75%. The actual return varies with your home and location. Adding a half bath to your home increases the value by 2.9% while finishing a basement increases the home value by 6.6%.
