"Vic Johnson and his crew were extremely knowledgeable about construction in general, friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process answering a multitude of questions, pivoting when needed, helping educate us homeowners of the hows and whys, and bending over backwards to make things right...when work wasn't going to plan (and remodels never go perfectly as planned). They were fair, and provided an enormous value. I'd highly recommend Johnson and Sons for any remodel you may have."

"JJ construction was my #1 choice for remodeling. I made my appointment with JJ construction. The person showed up on time and very thorough. We were very pleased by their expertise and their advice. However, I decided to sell the house as is. No work was done on my house. But I do recommend this company for future projects."

"Everyone at Renovate was excellent to work with, communicated well, and obviously cared about doing quality work according codes and rules. Our project had a couple surprises (asbestos!), and we ending up spending more than we thought, but the whole team made it a positive experience, and we would love to work with them again on the next phase of our basement!"

"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"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

The cost of finishing a basement is about $18,400 on average. As you can see, the framing portion of this project costs less, because you’re essentially just dealing with laying the foundation for a finished basement. The finishing portion of the project involves a lot more intricate work and design, as well as high-end materials.

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.

To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. 

Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.
