"Not good, the contractor showed up late, if at all. He installed cracked tiles, built a crooked knee wall, tiles were loose, left the place a mess, and damaged the carpet. Upon exiting the home after being fired, he vandalized the property. He scratched the new shower pan and tub with a box cutter. I criminal charge is pending due to the damage."

" Beyond Beautiful! If you’re looking for a great renovation with a great experience look no further. We did a consultation with Dion he came over we thoroughly discussed the plans of what we wanted done. He then advised us what could/should be done to achieve the desired look and brought the plan to life! He’s extremely knowledgeable in his field. Even though I’ve had work done by him before which was amazing for some reason this project literally blew my mind! He took our vision to a whole new level! Our family space has now been redefined and become our favorite place in the house. The custom staircase and spindles really set the stage! Not to mention the custom wall speakers, fireplace, and landing area. Photos really do it no justice! We were very pleased with the completion time as well as the cleanliness once everything was completed! Highly recommended! "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Dover, DE

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
