Customers say: Quick response

"Chris was very responsive with the bid and for other questions, and he and the crew were always punctual. Overall communication was way better than expected. The work crew was as unobtrusive as possible (for a very noisy couple of bathroom remodels) and were very respectful and hard-working. The quality of the work was very pleasing. Every time a decision needed to be made they were able to give good advice."

"Leo and helper rebuilt outdoor stairs and did a very nice job. He was quick and professional from first contact to job completion. But, he underestimated wood needed for replacement of deck boards and he didn’t bid the cleanup/disposal of removed wood so the quote was short by $300. I would recommend Leo just be sure the quote includes everything you want done."

"I needed both the front and back decks cleaned, stained and some minor repairs. The team was careful and professional. The job was excellent. I also had them fix my two gates that were sagging. I would hire them again."

"First off, I would like to say that I would highly recommend Burlingame Contracting for any remodeling work that you may need. My wife and I initially had Paul come out to do a complete remodel on two bathrooms in our home. During the design process Paul and his team listened to our vision for the bathroom and offered great ideas to build upon them while keeping to our bathroom budget. In a short amount of time Burlingame Contracting was able to transform our bathrooms by getting rid of the old cabinets, tub, drywall, flooring, doors, and lighting. They then installed new vanities, heaters, designed a pocket door to save room in a small bathroom, designed three built-in closet features, tore out a wall to create more space, installed a new tub, and installed new tile floors. In short, they made our bathrooms look amazing. I think the thing that impressed me the most about the experience was that during the remodeling phase Paul and his team ran into a few big surprises due to the original construction of the house and he was able to adjust on the fly while keeping the work going ahead. During the course of the remodel Paul ended up having to replace subflooring in a bathroom due to a prior unknown leak, fix electrical issues that were originally not set up to code, help relevel our home due to improper initial construction which led one side of our home’s foundation to sink over an inch into the ground, and he and his men ended up installing a French drain to help reroute water from a low point in our yard that was contributing to the sinking issue. During the entire process Paul kept us updated on the progress of the work, his next steps, options for design, and he went out of his way to make sure that we were happy with the job they were doing. Despite the surprises that occurred with the subflooring, sinking foundation, and the drainage issue Burlingame Contracting was able to adjust on the fly and offer cost effective solutions to address these issues. In short, it seemed like they were prepared to handle anything, and that is exactly what you want in a contractor. Overall, the work turned out beautiful and was of a very high quality. As I mentioned earlier, I would highly recommend them for any job that you may have. My wife and I will definitely be using them again. Please note, I have included before and after pictures to show the amazing work transformation that took place."

Basement Remodel questions, 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!

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.

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.

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.

Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.
