"Granzow Home Inprovement was amazing, from the initial meeting, to questions or concerns we had, before, during, and after the work was performed. We were pleasantly surprised mostly by the care and concern Rick and Bob took regarding their customer, which is rare in many businesses. This was our first home remodel project, we learned a lot from it, and we love our basement! Keep up the excellent service!"

"Overall good job with finishing my basement. i really like my basement overall after i installed carpet from Home Depot and home-theater system from Best Buy. i really appreciated them picking up the selections for the basement bathroom from Home Depot. Things that could have been done better: * I had to replace the closet fixtures, probably because they were fixed on the dry wall. * would have been better if i had choice with the shower inside the basement bathroom."

"I had planned on finishing our basement myself. Matrix completed a basement for my neighbor so we called for a design/estimate, I am glad we did they were professional, courteous and made themselves welcome guests in our home. They utilized the window wells to move materials as well as come-and-go, so there was minimal distractions to our day. My wife works from home and they were no bother. We were impressed with the materials they used and appreciated their design ideas. We were also able to negotiate items for us to complete to help lower the total cost. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to remodel their basement."

"We had Shire Group work on a remodel of a new office for us. They removed walls, framed in new doorways, and, in an ample space, created five new offices from the ground up. They asked questions that we never would have thought of. After completing the project, many visitors asked about their work besides the new offices. This shows how detailed they were; people could not tell new trim from old trim, removed doorways, moved light switches, and turned an old mailroom into extra space in our kitchen."

"Dave A, of "Basement REPAIR SPECIALISTS", is someone you should have on speed dial. Dave showed up and thoroughly inspected the areas of concern. After examining the basement area he said he would like to look at the outside of the home. He took his time, commenting on yard drainage grade, gutters, and roof pitch. He said, "he would love to take the Job but he thought we should first take a much cheaper approach to repair our problem". Dave obviously is a man of integrity. We decided to take his recommendations. If we still have continued problems, Dave will be our contractor of choice. It's really nice to do business with a thorough and honest man."

"About two years ago, the KBS team (including Alberto and Elizabeth) completed a remodel of our house to accommodate a family member with disabilities. They were fantastic: excellent communication, attention to detail, recommendations and project coordination. Super responsive and friendly, too! We are so happy with the results and had a really positive experience in the planning and remodel itself."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same 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?

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
