"Happy Homes Remodeling did an excellent job, remodeling my home. I had other companies come for estimates, but nothing compared. Happy Homes made the whole process easy. From the first time I met Craig, I knew his company was the one that was going to do the remodeling. He was super knowledgeable and was able to understand, exactly, my vision. He went over everything with and broke down what it was going to take to get everything done the way I wanted it. They started the project on January 3rd. I was there when the guys got there, so Craig could introduce me to the guys that were going to be doing the work. I have to say, the guys were a lot like Craig. Sean and Cole were also super knowledgeable and friendly. Because I had just bought the house, I didn’t live there during any of this project. I was, however, able to stop by, at any time, to see what was happening. They were always welcoming and willing to take the time to let me know what they were doing and what was coming up next. It was good to know that the people in my house were completely trustworthy and transparent. They remodeled the kitchen, which turned out exactly the way I pictured it. They removed a large wood burning stove from the living room, also removing the chimney and patching the roof afterward. They remodeled the bathroom, making it 4 feet wider than it was. They put in a big walk in shower and made the rest of the bathroom completely handicap accessible. (just in case…) They knocked out walls and put up new ones. Moved the laundry from the basement to upstairs, into a laundry room that was made from one of the old bedrooms. They made a bedroom bigger, and the laundry room smaller by moving the wall a couple of feet. They knocked down another wall and made extra space added on to the bedroom. They made the doorways bigger, to accommodate a walker or wheelchair. (Again, just in case…) Honestly, from the ceiling to the flooring, and everything in between, it turned out perfect! Craig and Sean were always keeping me updated. I would get phone calls from one or the other, at least, weekly. In many cases I heard from them more, just to keep me up to date with the progress and what would be happening next. This company was amazing to work with. I have already recommended them to 3 people. I will continue to recommend them because I truly believe they are the best people to do whatever job you may have. This was pretty stressful for me at first, but once they started the work and I talked to them more, my stress went away. Such a positive experience. I will be calling them again. I will be wanting a sliding door and a patio done next year! ?"

Customers say: True professional

"Gerry is an exceptional contractor and exceptional human being. As newer homeowners and inexperienced handy persons, Gerry went out of his way to explain processes and provide thoughtful insight into the work being completed. He has a great relationship with his subcontractors and that was prominent when issues arose as they were quickly fixed. We provided Gerry with a professional drawing of the basement and he provided his thoughts and made quality improvements without changing the overall layout. Our basement was built during the COVID pandemic and Gerry stored masks and disinfectant directly outside our front door so all parties involved felt comfortable and safe. During the initial quote was honest about the supply chain disruption and the potential for delay in supplies. Overall, it was fantastic to have an individual flexible and accommodating to the changing environment. The quality of finished basement exceeded our expectations by far. We were skeptical of hiring a general contractor at first, but have no questions since hiring Gerry. If we were to build a home or have another significant remodel, we would hire Gerry again in a heartbeat."

"Myron was great. He opened up our wall to allow easy access to our closet. The centrally located 6ft doors on a 12ft wide x 30in deep closet weren’t working. He worked with me to create a plan that would work and got the work done in a timely manner. He did a great job."

"Dave A, of "Basement REPAIR SPECIALISTS", is someone you should have on speed dial. Dave showed up and thoroughly inspected the areas of concern. After examining the basement area he said he would like to look at the outside of the home. He took his time, commenting on yard drainage grade, gutters, and roof pitch. He said, "he would love to take the Job but he thought we should first take a much cheaper approach to repair our problem". Dave obviously is a man of integrity. We decided to take his recommendations. If we still have continued problems, Dave will be our contractor of choice. It's really nice to do business with a thorough and honest man."

"I had MAJOR water damage in my family room on my outside wall ( half brick- huge window) and a bit on the adjoining walls as well. Dante Wilmet was a miracle worker on this project. He had to remove the outside wall completely and rebuild ( including the brick). He did an amazing job… stuck to his quote. If there was anything that came along that would cost extra- he would call to make sure it was ok with me to proceed. He was always on time and extremely reliable. If I could afford to gut my whole house- I would gave Wilmet Construction do the job!"

"I highly recommend Armon Renovations. We hired Armon for a major second-story home addition, including structural framing, roofing, siding, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, flooring, trim, and finish work. This was not a small or simple project, and Quincy and his team handled it with professionalism, strong communication, and real attention to detail. What stood out most was their willingness to work through complexity. As the project evolved, including added structural requirements, Armon stayed responsive, practical, and focused on getting the work done the right way. They were also fair and transparent when changes needed to be discussed. The quality of the finished work is excellent, and the addition feels like it belongs with the home rather than something added on later. I appreciated the craftsmanship, problem-solving, and accountability throughout the project. For anyone considering a renovation, addition, or larger home project, Armon Renovations is absolutely"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

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.
