What is included in a basement finishing project?

A typical basement finishing project includes framing, drywall installation, flooring, lighting, painting, trim work, and storage solutions. Depending on your needs, additional services like moisture control, soundproofing, and custom built-ins can also be added.

How long does it take to finish a basement?

The timeline varies based on the size of the basement and the scope of work. On average, a basement finishing project can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the build-out and any custom features.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement?

Permit requirements vary by location. If structural, electrical, or plumbing work is involved, a permit is typically required. We recommend checking with your local building authority to ensure compliance with all regulations.

What type of flooring is best for a finished basement?

Since basements are prone to moisture, vinyl plank, tile, and sealed concrete are great options for durability and water resistance. Carpeting is also popular for added warmth, but it should be installed with proper moisture barriers.

How can I prevent moisture issues in my finished basement?

To prevent moisture problems, we recommend sealing foundation cracks, installing vapor barriers, using a dehumidifier, and ensuring proper drainage around your home’s foundation. Waterproof flooring and mold-resistant drywall can also help keep your basement dry and comfortable.

Testimonials

Stephen is very professional and pleasant to work with. The weatherstripping replacement looks great! And he helped us hang several art works that needed a ladder and replaced several doors on relocated cabinets. I will gladly call this company again for home projects.

Outstanding work! I highly recommend Hearth & Handyman Services. While I enjoy doing many of my own small home remodeling jobs, I've recently been too busy to finish what I started. I tried calling other construction companies and no one would even come out to give me a quote for a small job. Hearth & Handyman Services is a perfect fit for me. The quote process online was very easy with a description of the job and a few uploaded pictures. The work was started in a brief period of time and the craftsmanship was excellent! I'm very pleased with how they helped move my project forward and definitely will be using them again!

Steve D.

Some of our siding came off after a storm, and these guys responded to my response right away and got me scheduled. Due to storms and emergencies with other customers, they had to delay our visit but Natalie was wonderful in managing to get someone out to us within a day or two of our scheduled day. They were also good with their price, in addition to their excellent customer service. I would and will recommend this company to anyone who is looking for outdoor repairs.

Dina R.

Professional experience from the initial contact to finish. Great work. Had a new handle put on the sliding door, screen door mesh insert installed and a picture hung.

Sara N.

Excellent service, quality and care.

Amy B.

We had a number of jobs to be done, including installation of a pedestal sink, painting a stairwell, and installing safety grab bars and hand rails. Our handyman was prompt, conscientious, friendly, and his workmanship was flawless. He finished the jobs is less time than expected. We are very pleased with everything.

Nancy B.

Had some siding above the roof line that needed fixing. I'm not too crazy about getting on roofs. It was a small job, but none the less they didn't take it any less seriously then perhaps a larger project. Office was very fast getting back with me, I'm speaking to minutes not hours. Quote seemed very reasonable, end of the job it was lower then quoted which was a nice surprise. The gentlemen was prompt, made quick work of the siding repair and was professional. I will definitely have more work for this company in the future.
