"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

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

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.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

You can paint your ceiling or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. 

If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.
