"Matrix Basement Solutions did an outstanding job finishing our basement! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, organized, and professional. Scheduling was always on time, and we truly appreciated the clear communication throughout the project. Our project manager, Ben Gibbons, was awesome—knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to answer questions. He made sure every detail was handled and kept the project running seamlessly. The subcontractors were also fantastic. Their workmanship was excellent, they were respectful of our home, and they completed everything with great care.

Action Professional Window & Gutter Cleaning Service Inc. has served Madison and the Dane County area for over 30 years. We provide a variety of services for homeowners and businesses. We specialize in professional gutter cleaning and repair along with installing gutters covers that come with a 5-year warranty on parts AND LABOR. We clean siding and remove graffiti and grime from most any structure. We also pressure wash decks and fences. Let us also quote your snow removal needs too. Our top priority is providing full and complete customer satisfaction.

"This is an outstanding business and I would highly recommend them. I hired them several years ago to power wash my sister's huge house which was filthy on the outside. The team hand washed the whole house and worked so hard in 90 degree heat. They took a lot of pride in their work and did an outstanding job. The neighbors would walk by the house afterward and would not be able to put their hand on why it looked so good and when I told them it was because of the power wash that was done they wanted to know who did the work so they could make note of the company if they needed work done in the future. They have also done numerous gutter cleanings on my house and are reasonable priced, very professional, and do a very thorough job. The rep even made sure to get some of the dust from the shingles that had been in my gutter for a while scraped off so that it would not build up even further. I have never had a gutter company do that! I give this company my highest compliments. They are a pleasure to do business with."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.
