"When we built our home in 1991 we figured we?d remodel the master bath within 5 years.  We put in a cheaper double cabinet (oak, of course), 4x4 tile on the walls, Kohler?s smallest corner shower, ugly vinyl  flooring and, oh joy, Hollywood lights on both sides of the mirrors.  We actually remodeled in 2014. From 1994 to 2014 we planned. What I really mean is that we argued.  Hubby wanted cutting edge. I wanted traditional.  He wanted a bigger shower.  I wanted a bigger bathtub.  And then the whole messy pot of ideas got pushed to the back burner.

Enter Kristi. She had already done a large shed for us with an attached porch so we knew we liked her attention to detail and respect for the style of the house. (In fact, our home was on a tour and people kept asking if the shed was the ?servant?s quarters.?).

First she sat on the potty (the top was closed!) and listened to us talk with one ear while her other was listening to the ideas already spinning in her head.  ?Yeah, well that wall?s gotta go.?  Converted a big area under the stairs into a small useable area and bought us a feeling of spaciousness. Cool.

She carved out a new shower area for the hubby and I found a "Victoria and Albert? tub that is bigger than the old one but takes up less room.  We decided on that 1930s black and white look with console sinks and old-fashion-y chrome hardware.  My fave part is the push button light switches with the mother of pearl buttons.

A woman is only as good as the men she hires and Kristi?s subs are top-notch.  The tile guy ? wow. Home Depot presented its usual nightmare, even accusing him of having picked up the order before and trying to get more for free!  He ended up pretty much pulling apart the tile sheets so he could create the greek key pattern. The floor heating is marvelous as well.

The plumber, Bob the P, was very good.  At one point he called me upstairs as he?d cut through a low voltage wire under the bathtub.  Turns out it was for the doorbell ? a very odd place to find it!  You would?ve thought he cut the cord to granny?s respirator!

Needless to say, it was fixed without comment or delay. Almost a year later we noticed a small leak under one of the sinks.  He stopped over within a day or two and it turned out to be a manufacturing defect. We had to force him to write out an invoice.

We?ve worked with some contractors who are very protective of their subs ? mostly so they can pick up a percentage of their work.  Kristi will give you their phone numbers and tell you to tell them she said to call.  Her philosophy is apparently if you?ve got a little job that she wasn?t involved in, why not let her customers get the best.

I'd write more but a nice bubble bath seems more in order..."

"Great, he was prompt and rolled with changes to the plan based on existing construction. Moses installed 2 garage door openers and attic stairs both were on time and on budget."

"I hired Jim Meinen and his team to remove a jacuzzi and put in a walk in shower in the master bathroom as well as a kitchen remodel. Jim is a man of his word and he finished the job in a timely manner, he is a master builder and is 2 steps ahead of any issues that might arise. He and his team are respectful, friendly and leave a spotlessly clean work area and most importantly, know what they are doing. I have been recommending them to all my friends and family and should I need more work done I would not go to any other contractor."

"RNR was hired to take on an extensive project that involved remodeling three apartment units in two separate residential homes. They were quick to respond to provide a free quote, honest about their capabilities for the services needed, and provided a fair price in a timely manner. On top of being incredibly personable and easy to work with, they take pride in their work, always keep a clean workspace, and absolutely deliver on whatever is asked of them (which in this case the list kept growing). They completely transformed the three apartments that they remodeled - from installing cabinets, countertops, toilets, showers, doors, light fixtures, flooring, windows, interior/exterior painting - to fixing unstable decks and chimneys, they can do it all! You definitely won't regret giving them a call!"

"The quality of work was great and I love my new basement. There were a few schedule delays, some that were poorly communicated and led to contractors arriving at the house unable to do work."

"Stone was a very respectful businessman and took as much time as needed to complete the project to perfection. Had front door concrete steps removed and replaced concrete steps in two days. I would encourage anyone needing concrete or masonry work to hire Aloha Outdoor Services."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

If you’re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. A professional ceiling company will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.

  • How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you’re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.

  • The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

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.
