"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."

"Volcano Builders transformed our dark, underutilized basement into a cozy, functional hangout space with a wet bar. From framing to lighting and flooring, everything was handled professionally. Bar checked in weekly, communicated promptly, and made thoughtful suggestions for built-ins and finishes. The result is a warm, welcoming lower level with smooth walls, quality cabinets, and soft LED lighting?ideal for family nights. They cleaned up each day and finished on schedule. Truly exceeded expectations."

"This company was efficient in their work and cleaned up nicely after themselves. I had a complete bathroom remodel after a water leak and they even did outside stair replacement with handrails to my front door. This company went above and beyond on their customer service. The only reason I gave them a 4.5 because I never knew their intended work schedule and was given a 3 day window with them leaving at noon without telling me if they were coming back after lunch. I didn't realize they were letting the tile set and the grout dry. I would have just liked the heads up for that, otherwise their craftmanship was spot on and their tile work was fantastic in the bathroom. Outside they had to do concrete and post work and those are level, Exceptional job well done for both crews."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.
