"Les, Matt and the entire Free Range team did a wonderful job in our Vermont home. Very conscientious and detail oriented. Despite the chaos of boxes and appliances in the living/work space, our house was left clean each day. They were very open and honest about the cost of the project from the very beginning. We were not present for most of the work so the crew sent daily progress updates and pictures. We will definitely hire them for all of our future projects."

"Jason did an excellent job shoring up our basement. He was a professional with an excellent work ethic. His work was exactly as explained, neat and clean. Jason was respectful of our space. He offered suggestions to improve gutters to direct water away from the house And he is dog friendly I would highly recommend Jason Blanchard."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don’t skip it!

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. 

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

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.

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?
