"In 2022, we decided to add a new kitchen and substantially remodel our mid-1960s Edmonds rambler. After reading many on-line reviews and meeting with several contractors we decided to go with Johnson and Sons.....and we are so very happy that we did. From the very start we were impressed with how open, honest and responsive Vic Johnson was, a trend that continued throughout our project. As you might imagine, a significant remodel and addition to a 60-year old home is likely to bring with it surprises and our remodel was no exception. Despite the many challenges encountered, Johnson and Son and their subcontractors readily overcame them. Among the many lessons we learned during our remodel was the value of quality subcontractors. Vic's relationship with his subs in some cases extend more than a decade and the depth of these relationships was reflected by the quality and timeliness of their work. All in all we feel that the workmanship, attention to detail and care shown by all involved in our remodel was superb. We highly recommend Johnson and Sons to anyone looking to remodel their home."
"We had our basement remodeled, and the results exceeded expectations. The team was respectful, clean, and very skilled. Puget Sound turned an unused space into something beautiful."
"Good end result, but be ready to run the project yourself I hired Topaz Remodeling for a 50K basement finish. Some areas look good. But it required constant oversight. The serious stuff: The crew punctured a fully exposed water pipe 6 inches in front of them. Live wiring was left exposed above the ceiling with no junction box. I found it. That knocked out my greenhouse circuit, costing me about half my plants. Drywall went up before these issues were caught. Management: I was told a manager would be on site every other day. I saw one once. Communication went quiet after payments cleared. After a nearly two-hour milestone meeting, they requested payment early and disputed the terms. Quality: The shower door didn't fit because the base had a non-standard 2.5" threshold. The replacement failed after a week. Bottom line: The craftsmanship is there, but the homeowner has to catch the mistakes. If you hire Topaz, be prepared to manage closely and inspect everything before paying."
"Ryan and his team did a great job on our basement remodel. Communication was strong as was attention to detail. A concerted effort was made to keep the worksite clean. Like many renovations, it took longer than anticipated and we encountered a measurement hiccup that, while solved, could have been identified and addressed upfront"
"We hired A to Z home remodeling replace our 60 year old bathtub with a shower. Shay was our Manager, explained the process thoroughly and answered all our questions. Eric extremely knowledgeable and up to the task of dealing with our old home and all its quirks. I would recommend A to Z for anyone looking for a professional remodel that will last for many years."
"I recently had my basement remodeled, and the results exceeded my expectations. The team was professional, detail-oriented, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They delivered high-quality craftsmanship and completed the project on time without cutting corners. I?m extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable remodeling services."
"I called this company to get a quote for a bathroom remodel. Ben was scheduled to come on site and give me a quote. I felt very comfortable with the quote and Ben. They did a great job on my bathroom finishes and plans a head. I even remodel my kitchen afterwards with them, Ben is very professional and responsive who made this process very easy. I defiantly going to use them again in the future."
"I would recommend him and he is 5-star all the way. After our dishwasher leaked and ruin our floor, we had hired another a contractor to remodel our kitchen but found that he did not want to do because to him it was too small of a job. So, I found GASHIN EMPIRE LLC on Angie. He came out and looked at it and said that he would do it. He is very open, honest, he gave me a clear schedule and he was able to accommodate our needs. After waiting 4 months for our kitchen to get done he did it in 4 weeks. It is beautiful and all our guests just love what he has done. I would absolutely hire him again in the future."
Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you.
