"My basement turned out amazing! Full bathroom installed, including 3-person sauna. Electrical work, lightening, painting, drywall and matte finish black ceiling all turned out fantastic! Gordan’s crew were all terrific. Professional, hard working, and always cleaned up before leaving for the night. Highly recommend!"

"I hired GR General Contracting to remodel my basement. Every aspect of the project was excellent. My remodeled basement is beautiful. I would definitely hire again. Gordon communicated regularly about the project schedule and kept me up to date every step of the way. The crew were outstanding and it was a pleasure to have them working in my my home. At the end of every day I received a walk through of the progress and an overview of the next days work. I am thoroughly impressed with my experience working with GR General Contracting."

"Bob and Rick did an incredible job finishing our basement. They were willing and able to accommodate all of our requests and maintained open lines of communication throughout the entirety of the project. Rick responded to all communications very quickly and was always willing to field a call with any questions. From the start of the bidding process through the end of construction, Bob and Rick were always professional and provided guidance and transparency at every step while still allowing us some creative flexibility during the design process. We are consistently getting compliments on the superb craftsmanship of our basement. If you are looking for a professional team, clear and timely communication, and magnificent quality of work, I highly recommend Rick and Bob at Granzow Home Improvements."

"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 recently attended an open house hosted by Matrix Basements and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in their basement remodels were evident, showcasing a variety of functional and beautifully designed spaces. From cozy family rooms to state-of-the-art home theaters, each area was thoughtfully planned to maximize both utility and aesthetics. The team at Matrix Basements was welcoming and knowledgeable, readily answering all my questions and providing insights into the remodeling process. Their passion for creating personalized spaces that cater to individual needs was clear, and I left the open house feeling inspired and confident in their ability to transform a basement into a standout feature of any home. For anyone considering a basement renovation, I highly recommend attending one of Matrix Basements’ open houses to witness firsthand the quality and innovation they bring to their projects."

"We are certainly glad we chose American Home Remodeling for our basement finishing project. Scott and Nick were definitely the right team for the job as they guided us through the process step by step. Their knowledge and experience was greatly beneficial, especially with laying out the bedroom and bathroom portions of the project. We are very satisfied with the quality of work and felt that we received a great value for what we paid for the project. We are already enjoying the new space and look forward to spending more time downstairs in the future! We will definitely call Scott and Nick for other future remodeling projects and would also recommend them to others."

"Tim and his crew did a FANTASTIC job on my basement ceiling!! In less than 8 hours they completely removed the horrible existing ceiling material, built pop outs around ductwork and pipes, and re-installed can lights. They repositioned my can lights (which I didn't even think to ask them to do but am SO glad they did!) Their attention to detail was exceptional and the ceiling looks flawless and my basement is much improved!! I'd recommend them again in a heartbeat. Their price was fair and reasonable."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Save money on your basement finishing project by making cost-effective decisions such as minimizing structural changes and avoiding costly construction revisions. DIY simpler tasks such as painting or basic cleanup to reduce labor costs. You can also opt for energy-efficient fixtures and materials that may qualify for rebates or tax incentives.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

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.
