"They arrived on time and completed the work in a timely manner. I was very pleased with their work. They also installed at an earlier time plastic under my house. They even noticed that insulation work I had done by another contractor was not completed. I called the contractor and told him they noticed his work and he came back and finished the job. I didn't know it at the time, but they also install insulation. I would use them again."
"We had bought a house several years ago and within a few months of owning the house our basement leaked water. After several years of litigation and numerous episodes of the basement leaking we started looking for a contractor to fix the basement problem. After getting estimates from a half a dozen companies, we decided that we were going to use Alternative Building Concepts, Inc. I will say there estimate was a bit higher than the other ones, but you get what you pay for. Due to us being in a law suit at the time of the construction, I wanted a company that was professional and a company that was going to document the damage and their work. I further wanted a company that would be competent to testify in court if needed. They were all of above and more. We could not have asked for a more professional group of guys. Mr. Blankenship explained to us all the work that was going to be performed and provided us with a written estimates for each phase of the process. The price of the work quoted never changed.
When they started the work inside the basement it was amazing how neat they were, which was a concern of ours (especially drywall work). Once the outside work started it took longer than anticipated due to the weather (rain and lots of it), but the work was completed in a professional manner and throughout the process Mr. Blankenship kept us up to date with the process and any issues that arose. Once the work was completed everything was put back together neatly. After the work was completed several small issues arose and each time I called Mr. Blankenship, someone was there to fix it the same day. I would highly recommend Alternative Building Concepts, Inc. for any project. "
"This was truly the best experience I've had in over 40 years of doing home improvements. .this company is first class,the owner and workers were terrific to work with.. Started on time, finished on time,all within budget .. I do recommend them often."
"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.
If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding.
Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.
Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.
The average cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400. Depending on the project's complexity, the price can be as low as $3,500 or exceed $50,200. For a simple project like adding a home office, you might spend between $500 and $3,000. However, a more extensive project, such as adding a bathroom, can range from $6,600 to $16,500. The final cost is influenced by factors like the basement's size and condition, the type of remodel, material choices, your location, and accessibility. For an accurate price, it's best to consult with a basement remodeling team.
