"Craig and his crew were always pleasant to work with. They remodeled an old bathroom and created another bath and a half, as well as installed new flooring in other rooms. They came in with a "can-do" attitude, communicated and stayed on track. High integrity company!"

"We feel very fortunate that Myron answered my Angie post for a need to repair a kitchen ceiling, damaged by a water leak. He responded to my request within an hour, we texted on a Wednesday and he agreed to come by our home to inspect the damage the following Monday. He did so, provided an immediate and fair price and started and completed the project the following week. He communicated status while doing the work, brought tarps and kept things neat and clean, and did an awesome job on a difficult ceiling patch. We now just need to paint and we’ll be done. Thanks Myron! We really appreciate the work that you did!"

"Dante was very professional in reviewing the project details with me on site and gave me price options which was simple to understand. He was very prompt with his response. I wasn't able to move forward with the project due to unexpected engine repairs for my vehicle. But I will definitely consider reaching out to him when I decide to proceed to move forward."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

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.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

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.

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.
