"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!"

"I hired JDC Contracting for a full kitchen remodel, along with small updates throughout my house (new lighting, replacement of interior doors, a new ceiling in the basement, bathroom updates, and numerous other things). John did nearly all of the work himself. He did a wonderful job and our house looks fabulous! I can't say enough about JDC. John is skillful, completely accountable, and fair and honest in pricing. Hiring JDC is a a collaborative project from start to finish. He took the time to hear our ideas, provide sound, practical input, and put together a good, workable plan. After discussing things (every step along the way), John turned what we wanted into reality. He's also kind and a pleasure to work with. I really enjoy interacting with him. I had received estimates from two other kitchen contractors. John was the third contractor that provided one. He really impressed me with his attention to detail, his knowledge, his demeanor, and his being up front about process, pricing, and so on. He left a great impression, so I hired him in late November. John transformed the small, enclosed kitchen into an open concept kitchen that's bright, spacious, and inviting. This was the first time that my wife and I were involved in a major remodel. In December, we were so happy with how the kitchen project was going that we asked John to do additional work on the house. We wanted to squeeze in some more work at our house before he got too busy with other customers' projects. The additional work included the door replacements, as well as partial updates of the bathrooms and basement. He is an HVAC expert, so he also gave great advice on how to maintain and extend the life of our older HVAC system and other mechanicals. His advice is saving us a lot of money. John does such terrific, fairly priced work, we would totally have gone with JDC for full updates of the bathrooms and basement, but we didn't have the finances. So we decided to go forward with partial updates that really changed the 2 bathrooms and basement, while allowing us to stay within our budget. We're grateful to John for these secondary projects--and his ideas for them--because they have given us a lot more living space, and have made the bathrooms much more pleasant to use. We recently purchased the home in Oct. 2022 and we initially had a 3-5 year timeline for improving the kitchen, bathrooms, and basements. But John shortened this timeline down to a 2-month time frame (around 35 days of actual work--there were a couple of delays on materials that slowed us down). We moved in a week ago and are loving it! In sum, I strongly recommend JDC for home improvement projects. John is highly skilled and has integrity and tons of expertise and experience. Most important, he genuinely enjoys making his customers happy by improving their homes. He went the extra mile for us and has definitely made my family and me happy!"

"Not once during our entire basement finishing process did I question our decision to work with Mike Hessling at Catalyst (formerly Apex). The entire process took just over a month to go from a completely unfinished basement to a brand new, beautiful, rec room, office, and 3/4 bathroom. Mike even dealt with all the curve balls we threw him along the way, switching colors midway through painting, adding an additional cabinet here. He is the kind of contractor you dream of. He's hands-on, there first thing every morning doing so much of the work himself! And the coordination with all the subcontractors was amazing. Everyone knew when and where to be and what exactly needed to get done. To top it all off, he came in right on budget as quoted (which was very fair). Mike's brother Adam was also key in the build, working hard with Mike or on his own."

"Rick and Bob did a wonderful job finishing our basement. They are easy to work with and take care of scheduling all the sub contractors(which were awesome too) and inspections to keep the project running smoothly. We get many compliments on the look and craftsmanship of their work. Highly recommend them!"

"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

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

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.

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
