"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..."

"Jim and his crew, including the sub-contractors, did an amazing job on our project to finish off some of our basement. We added a bathroom, bedroom, and family room. The quote was thorough and accurate. The communication was responsive. The workmanship was second to none. I highly recommend working with Jim. You won't be disappointed."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you’re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it’s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

Costs are guided by renovation scope, materials chosen, project duration, structural needs, and labor. Prioritizing tasks prevents unforeseen expenses.

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.
