"Mark took a deposit from me and then never followed up on submitting the proposal I signed to my co-op and getting approval. Finally almost a year later, I asked for the deposit back, and he said he would mail immediately after briefly trying to convince me to still let him do the job, because it was simply "out of sight out of mind". That was 2 years ago. I'm filing a small claims case against him/the company tomorrow."

"I was initially hesitant to hire this company through Angi's List due to their lack of reviews. However, after speaking with Arben, my concerns were quickly alleviated. He was incredibly responsive and offered to come to my home for a consultation to better understand the scope of my bathroom renovation project. Arben provided a detailed quote the very next day and his team completed the entire project in just 3 days! Not only were they efficient, but they were also extremely professional and meticulous. They cleaned up the work area at the end of each day, which I really appreciated. The quality of their work was so impressive that I decided to hire them for additional projects around my house, and they consistently exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Arben and his team to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and professional contractors. I look forward to working with them again in the future!"

"Hiring Tom and Roger is one of the best decisions I've ever made! I was introduced to Tom and Roger when I discovered a mice problem in my apartment that my building (the handymen, super, and others) tried but was unable to fix. (Tom and Roger were recommended by an architect friend who hired them for his own apartment.) Tom and Roger came in with gusto: they heard my concerns, understood the problem, took it to heart, and treated it like it was their own. They got to work exploring my apartment, leaving no surface or crevice unexplored. They found holes that the building had missed. They sealed everything, even the tiniest holes. They never once played down the problem or disregarded it as something unimportant - rather, they approached it with complete seriousness and even spoke with an exterminator to make sure that they were caring for it to the utmost degree (they even made suggestions like putting all of my dried goods in the fridge as to not leave a single stone unturned that could continue to attract mice). Ultimately, they solved the problem (when no one else had!)....and it was clear that they wouldn't stop in my apartment until the entire problem was addressed and done. I really appreciated that they came in with such a thorough and holistic approach. I loved working with them so much that I hired Tom and Roger to work on a bunch of other tasks in my home (sealing floorboards, caulking the tub, fixing grout in the kitchen and bathroom, fixing up a home office, staining the deck, insulating around the radiator, and so so much more - I had a long list!). The items were each different and they knew how to do them all. There is nothing that these guys can't do! Everything that Tom and Roger worked on was done with great care and attention to detail. They firmly believe that any work should be done by these principles - it's part of what makes them stand apart from the rest. To boot, they are lovely people! It was truly joyful working and having conversations with/getting to know them while we were in the apartment together. Working with Tom and Roger was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. Every day, they showed up early (early!) for the job. Throughout the day, they checked in to ensure that my list of priorities was being met (even at the end of the day, they didn't leave without checking that they had tended to my priorities.) I appreciated how they continually made the effort to ensure that we were exactly on the same page. I never felt rushed. I always felt heard. Truly, working with both Tom and Roger was nothing but wonderful. My only regret is that I don't have more jobs to give them - the experience was so great that I wish I could keep working with them! It goes without saying that I will work with Tom and Roger again in a heartbeat (in fact, they're the only contractors I ever want to work with moving forward!) and recommend them without hesitation to my closest friends (in fact, I already have!). Hire Tom and Roger - your experience will be the best and your home will look gorgeous. You will be so SO happy that you went with them!"

"After the toilet was changed on 9/1/23. The plumber refused to caulk the gap at the base of the new toilet. Gaudioso didn’t respond to my request to fix it. That left a gap and roaches were roaming out from that gap into my apartment for 11 days until I hired a handyman to caulk it. It costed me extra money and emotional distress"

Basement remodels FAQs

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.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

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

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.
