Bathroom Remodel

Kitchen Remodel
Average investment: $35-65k
Length of project: 6-8 weeks

Basement Finishing
Average investment: $30-50k
Length of project: 4-6 weeks
Refinishing a basement seems like quite the undertaking and it can be but, the good news is, the remodel won’t disrupt your day to day life too much. Since your basement isn’t being used now you won’t miss not using it for a few more weeks. Finished basements make great media rooms to watch football in the fall or have movie nights with the family. They are also a great way to keep all of your kids’ toys confined to one area.
