"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"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."

"Chris and the entire Alpha team were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. As homeowners who had a general idea of what we wanted to do for our complete basement remodeling project but no clue where to begin. Chris came over and listened to the general idea's we had and then used his experience to explain how things would work or would work better in certain aspects. After being very detailed in the plans and budget, he was very communicative each step of the way. The entire Alpha team were extremely friendly and were always greeted with a "Good Morning or Good Afternoon" every time we saw them. Alpha always communicated with us throughout the entire remodel and asked for thoughts on any potential things that came up. After everything was completed, Chris was very thorough on the final walk through and was meticulous with all the details. I would highly recommend Alpha Ventures!"

"258 Renovations was great to work with. We needed a bathroom added to our basement, but didn't have walls, plumbing, or anything. The crew worked quickly and Mitch made sure to pull all the proper permits. Further, if there was any sort of issue, Mitch made sure to correct it immediately. 258 Renovations was great to work with and I would hire them again."

"I have worked with contractors in the past but, never had such kind, courteous, punctual, and patient young men as Jovon and Jeremy. They worked with me on the situation I was in. My neighbor was going to install my storm door for free but he ended up in a cast due to a work injury. So now I'm stuck. I contact Angi to get some Quotes. Jovon set up the appointment. Arrived on time. Just toward the end of the install we discover I had ordered the door to wide I had a 36" and I needed a 32". So then I went online to find the right door. Jovon and Jeremy gave me another appointment for the next day, They arrived at 10 AM and went out of their way to take me back to Menards to exchange the door. I Will RECOMMEND these wonderful guys to every one I hear of that needs work done. Jovon and Jeremy I Thank you for doing a great job at an affordable price. ."

"really nice job - the crew was punctual, conscientious, and quick but with quality work. They moved furniture, cleaned up every day before they left. Took about 3 days. They did a beautiful job patching walls and ceilings that were rough...they now look like new."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

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.
