What kind of flooring is safe to put in my basement?

Engineered wood, sealed concrete, tile, laminate, and rubber flooring are just a few options available to you. The main concern with a basement floor is exposure to water. As part of our finishing process, we waterproof your basement, but if your pipes back up, it can cause damage. As a result, we generally don’t suggest natural wood or carpeting.

Can you finish a basement in an old house?

We sure can! While older construction might have some special considerations that require more nuance, we are highly experienced at what we do and know what steps to take to address the typical roadblocks. If you have specific concerns, let us know so we can explain how we will address them.

Can R&S Basements help me come up with some basement finishing ideas?

We always work to match the vision of the customer. However, sometimes our customers only know they want a more functional space. If this is you, we are happy to help you brainstorm. We can show you the work we have completed in the past to inspire you.

What is the square footage price to finish a basement?

Basement remodeling costs in Big Canoe vary based on the level of finishing you choose and the materials. This means we cannot give a price on our website. However, if you give us a call, we can figure out the specifics of what you are looking for and draw up an accurate estimate.

FAQ

FAQs ABOUT BASEMENT REMODELING & FINISHING IN CUMMING, GA

How much does it cost to finish a basement?

According to Remodeling Magazine’s “2013 Cost vs. Value Report”, the average cost in the Atlanta area for a basement finish, was $62,640 . Basement projects can hit or exceed this figure, but most R&S customers want what we call a semi-custom finish. This typically includes a site built tiled shower in the bath, some type of bar or kitchen, a mixture of can and fixture lighting, a nice trim package including lots of crown molding, and high quality/low maintenance floors throughout. While these semi-custom projects are always priced per the specific design and scope of work, most end up costing between $45, 000 to $55,000, well below local industry averages. If this description sounds similar to what you are thinking for your basement but your budget doesn’t allow it, then it would be best to reconsider your specific requirements or revisit your budget.

How long does it take?

A typical full basement finish takes three months to complete. However, we always tell our customers we’ll work at “your pace”. We’ve completed projects in six weeks, and we’ve taken as long as six months. Even though your project will be well planned and accompanied by a full design before getting started, there will be some detailed decisions to make and potential issues to address along the way. Some people make these decisions very quickly, while others need more time. R&S Basements is patient, and we have no problem giving you the time you need to make these decisions.

Can I do some of the work myself?

The honest answer to this question is “it depends”. R&S Basements appreciates a homeowner’s desire to decrease cost by investing “sweat equity” in their project. R&S Basements is flexible and has worked with some customers in this regard. Good examples are painting, hardware installation, shelving, etc.
– items that can be completed outside of our contracted scope of work. Because we warrant everything we do, however, we can not use our customers as sub-contractors. Therefore the majority of the trades are best handled by our experienced sub-contractors.

Why do I need a budget?

A basement finish is a significant investment and it would be unwise to get started, or even start to obtain quotes, without having established some sense of a budget. The “purchase” of a home improvement project is like that of any other purchase you make. Typically, you want more than you are willing to pay for. Establishing a budget and sharing it with your remodeling contractor sets realistic expectations and creates the opportunity to modify design and scope of work to meet your budget.
