Choosing a Design-Build Basement Remodeler

 

Why Design-Build?

Design-Build simplifies the remodel process for everyone involved – homeowner and contractor alike. A Design-Build contractor will handle all steps of the process from initial communication and estimates to project wrap-up, and everything in between. When hiring a Design-Build contractor for your basement remodel project, you are hiring both designer and builder in one.

Ultimately, this means that there is one team for homeowners to communicate their ideas, expectations, and budget. This streamlined process of communication greatly diminishes or eliminates the potential for miscommunications between the homeowner and the contracting team.

How to Choose a Basement Remodeler in D.C. & Northern Virginia

When choosing a contractor for your basement remodel project in the Northern Virginia or Washington D.C. area, a great place to start is your network. Inquire with co-workers who live local to your area and have recently completed a remodeling project – ask if they were pleased with their contractor of choice, then ask them for referrals. You can also utilize websites like Houzz.com and Angie's List to view contractors in your area, browse their project galleries, and learn more about their team's experience. Once you've made a decision, or at least narrowed it down, request a meeting with the contractor(s) to ask any questions you may have. Below, we have some examples of productive and helpful questions to ask a Design-Build contractor during your consultation.

Basement Remodeling FAQ's

5  Is remodeling a basement worth it?
6Absolutely. According to a nationwide survey conducted by Remodeling magazine, the average return on a basement remodel is 75 on the dollar. In addition to the cost vs. value of a basement remodel, making use of this unused square footage of your home to suit the needs of your family is the best return of all.

 

5  How long does a basement renovation take?
6The length of each basement remodel project will vary drastically depending on size, existing structures such as framing and/or walls, existing plumbing and electricity, and several other factors. On average, you can expect your basement project to take anywhere from 1-6 months, but an experienced design-build contractor will be able to present a more detailed timeline once you have laid out your expectations.

 

5  In what order do you remodel a basement?
6Remodeling an unfinished basement is similar to building a house – you must add insulation if it is not already, then frame any walls you may want in your space. After framing, utilities such as plumbing and electric are installed, and drywall will be mounted. After that, we paint, and the ceiling and flooring will also have to be installed.

 

5  How often should a basement be remodeled?
6Typically, homeowners remodel their basement for a specific use – workout area, in-law suite, guest bedrooms, bar area, etc. Due to this, many basement remodel projects are only a heavy lift in the very beginning, unless you wish to rearrange your space completely. The recurrence of a basement remodel is completely up to the homeowner and the needs of their family.

 

5  What questions should I ask a contractor before hiring them to remodel my basement?
6Protecting both yourself and the investment you are putting into your home is the most important part of any remodeling project. Here are examples of questions to ask regardless of which area of your home you are hiring a contractor to remodel:

  • Do you use the Design-Build method?
  • Is your company licensed?
  • How long have you been operating?
  • Could I see your insurance certificate?
  • Do you offer a warranty?
  • How do you handle additional charges?
  • Who will be my main point of contact and how will I contact them?
  • Will tools and supplies be stored in my home?
  • How will your team clean up throughout the duration of the remodel?
