"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! ?"

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List !  She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home.  She has  a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me"  I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly  hence saving me the time.  She also has excellent local contacts.  Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete.  I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

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.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote.
