Got a quote to finish my basement (700 sq ft.) for $40,000. Recently completed the job on my own for $8,000 with the same quality, high-end look and trim to match the recently renovated upstairs. Videos like yours helped make this possible for me and my family! Thank you!
Dude thats a great story, well done man. Just takes time for sure but Im sure you're glad you did it. Now you got the basement of your dreams and you did it without losing an arm or leg. Well done brother, glad the videos helped
was it a legal basement you built on your own, with inspections from city ?
@@imanbirmann I always wonder that , where Im form if you done all work like this by your self (unlicensed) youd get in a lot of shit , might have to rip it down and the insurance definitely wouldn't cover it or anything connected it it (the rest of you house and items )
I got a quote for 80,000 for my basement it's about 1,000 square feet, lol I told my husband we need to budget 8,000 before I called contractors. I said oh no, you tube to the rescue.
I wouldn't doubt that you actually did an even better job
I like how you treated the previous work with respect. My dad was one of those DIYers that put a lot of effort into the work he did around the house, but would have benefited from the counsel of a professional. If only UA-cam was around when he was in his prime, LOL. He was so proud of his work.
Lmao yes, being super condescending about the diy'd reno and pulling apart/kicking down walls in someone's home is super respectful.
@@carlosvillalpando9514 TBH, I didn't interpret his words as super condescending. You could say it was constructive criticism ~drum drum cymbal~. Sometimes people put a lot of work into things, but they had poor execution or a poor understanding of what they were doing. "Ignorance" isn't a pretty word, but it is not incorrect in the context. Because the implication is that the person simply did not know they were making errors. Once they know of those errors, they can always learn more and be better the next go around.
I will not discount your views on his words, though. Just because our interpretations were different, that does not mean your view is invalid.
Have a great holiday season, Carlos, and be well.
@@carlosvillalpando9514 not really, he was just saying with some know-how it coudl've been a lot better with the amount of effort they were putting in. Also he's pulling apart and kicking down walls in a house where theyre about to demolish everything anyways to reno....OBVIOUSLY not something he'd do without permission. Use your brain, it helps!!
I thought that was actual brick at first until I saw it pealing off the wall.. wow just wow. Most random basement I've ever seen in my life, big upgrade for sure
That was a "transition" basement. The time where basements were just starting to become functional living space rather than areas dedicated mostly to utility. It wasn't that bad for a first generation makeover. Especially considering their limited selection of space saving materials.
This DIYer clearly had some above average skills. Looks great.
Well if they didn't before, they definitely do now after 6 months of working on this basement!
I agree
This is the way to do it, folks. My husband and I finished our basement all ourselves except for the premium carpeting we had installed. We ended up with nearly 1000 sq ft finished, two bedrooms, a large playroom, a tiled outside access to the exterior stairwell, a walk-in closet doubling as a "secret room" for the kids, and a full bath! It cost us $17,000 plus a mere $4,000 to outfit it with furniture and media components (one of the bedrooms is a fully sound insulated media room with an eight foot screen, recessed speakers behind the screen, and projector system with all wiring integrated into the walls with conduit for future proofing). We have done several other upgrades to the builder grade house in other rooms, and a year later our house was appraised for $200,000 more than we bought it for!! And how long did it take us? Four months. And that's with my husband working full time as a journeyman electrician. Some days I spent 8 hours down there between taking care of the kids. Yeah, it was a ton of work, but boy, was it worth it!
ez when hub is electrician
Fr this nigga has good money
200k? In NY most GOOD homes are 800k-1M+
Celuta $200k was not the current value of the house. Her house was appraised at $200k "more" than what she originally paid for it, after renovating it
@@celuta5515 in Toronto most good homes are 2.4 mill and up in 5 years my old house nearly tripled in price the market went insane like a decade back bought a 130 year old house for 200k no mortgages in early 2008 renovated it sold it late 2013 for 950k and now all i do is buy, build and sell houses its way better then working a 9-5 and you make much more money in a significantly shorter amount of time started to do 2-3 houses a year recently
Jeff, I'm in a kitchen & bath design course. Lots of folks in the class know who you are and they all describe you as 'the best!' You're famous, kid.
Thats quite interesting, cool to hear.
I agree!!!!
“The incredible attention to detail” then “done poorly” 😂😂😂 took me out lol
He talkin for nothing
right back at ya !
Man, this is great stuff, this is a TV quality reno show. With less than 100k views? This is a hidden youtube gem.
Price adjustment for today's market...$7,500
Great vid!
Jeff, it's always great to see people learn from your videos, and being able to do their own homes, and it's because of you! You rock brother.
A smokestack mural on the door was a very interesting choice. 😂
You are a “Certified Character” to point that out! 😂🤣
The original owner is watching his work being destroyed in horror! 😂 haha
I so love watching your videos. I also like how you treated the previous work with respect.
Looked great after it was finished. After hearing the $3000 USD cost, I'm ready to start mine now. I have a basement that was gutted back down to the concrete before I bought my house. Just studs there. Thanks for the motivation to get me started.
Did you do it ? 5 months later
That $3k cost was surprising. I wonder how much it would've added to the cost if the framing and electrical wasn't already in place. And it kind of irks me that they didn't strip the tile underneath the flooring.
I have been a big fan of Home Renovision DIY for a while and stumbled on this series. Can't wait to redo my 70's era basement. Keep doing what you do, you do it WELL!
I actually kind of loved that parquet ceiling!
I love his enthusiasm, vibe, and positivity.
I hired the Mexicans at home depot bought all the supplies and total cost was $2500 they work cheap and it's amazing work
i used your drywall guide when i finished my basement. only did 1 220sqFt area of the basement for an office but did it all for under 5k. love these videos! keep them coming
My wife and i just bought a house and i plan on doing a LOT of renovations to it starting with the basement. Never having done projects like this myself in the past i plan on hinging all my renovation decision on Jeff. This dude is awesome.
Hey if I could suggest something do some before and after shots. It's well worth it in the end for keepsake. You never remember how bad it was until you bust out the video.
I definitely will, i am really looking forward to getting started then being able to step back and see what was accomplished. Admittedly i am a little nervous but mostly excited.
@@Ezzieharrison how’d it go?!
@@jasonatwater1386 better than i thought. Ran into a few snags here and there that i had to get some reinforcements for, but all in all I'm happy with it.
Glad you mentioned about the space between the concrete wall and the stud wall/vapor barrier.
We did life proof throughout our whole house and I love it
Well, this is to funny. You are right about the classic basement. I haven't started mine yet.... Thanks
I absolutely love your channel ..
I've probably have watched 100 hours .
They did an amazing job! Wow!
I would be so happy if my basement looked like that! Wowww! It makes me feel really good that you've got it all for us in the video library! I've seen enough of them to know they're there! Just beautiful! They did you proud, for sure! Thank you!
very proud Linda. It is amazing what folks can do with the right attitude and a little guidance. Cheers!
I love watching these transformations
This was an awesome walkthrough. Thanks for taking the time to show a before/after!
You deserve more views! Your so informative, the camera work and editing is fantastic, and you're great at talking on camera. I will definitely be sharing your videos.
Thank you! 😊
That's wonderful you both work well together. Jeff has really helped me. I was in poor health but I'm back strong and evaluated shat needed to be done. Let's since I was working harder on the house. Jeff has helped me save thousands of dollars I don't have.
One of the best channels , I learned and saved a lot from this man , he is honest and make everything easy for non pro
I wish you guys had more Renos on double wide mobile homes. Especially flooring where they join together. We were blessed with this home and we're trying to Reno it on A VERY tight budget
Yes. Also a basement under one. There's barely any videos w/all the metal columns and beams. Not easy to figure out and not many videos if any.
Hey Jeff. I ended up doing the same thing to my basement but I did it a little different. I hired a GC to get the ball rolling and then took over about half way. To tear stuff down and re build, the whole project costed me $25k and that is a 850 sq/ft 2 bedroom full bath "living room" and a wet bar/kitchenette. The whole thing took me a little over 3 months and now I have a tenant. I had a realtor come by and take a look and they were almost speechless on what it looked like. Apparently my upstairs looks like garbage now because of it lol so that will be the next project.
man I love this guy Im learning so much
Wow what a great job.I'm ready to do my basement.Great video
Jeff, I love your sense of humour. My bucket list is to work with you someday. Heck, I may even take a month off work and work for you for free :)
Outstanding job!
This looks amazing.
This was a good consultation video on rehabs well done 👍
God Bless this Man Cave!
Beautiful transformation
love the cute puppy, best part of the video!
We agree!
Muffy was so nosy. Did you notice him spying from the top of the stairs? For a moment I thought he was doing the inspection.
That looks really good
Hello from the US, love your work!
I would love to see you get your own tv show on HGTV, you could be the cheaper/DIY version of Mike Holmes.
This guy is the 🐐!
Basement looked awful before. Cudos to these homeowners that finished it properly. Looks great!!!
Hey Jeff! Great job on this basement! Curious - why not install a mini split down there? They make a great, energy-efficient solution for basements!
this video has earned you a new sub
Wish I knew someone like you who could assess my basement and tell me what to do cirst, step by step.
I don't believe for one minute this basement was completed by first time DIY'ers. The added return vents, ceiling elevation, wiring, ceiling light installation, above average carpentry work. These folks had professionals complete this job.
Dude was wearing a Rammstein shirt!
I grew up in a home with a finished basement from the 50's/60's. I loved the knotty pine walls. We practically lived down there in the summers since it was cooler even had a second kitchen. I liked the wood ceiling.
I was waiting for a new video !
He is correct, the PEX pipe will not break, but the fittings do.
Incredible
I love the nosey dog!
It's a, it's a, collaboration of effort, and and ignorance !!! LOL it's a perfect combination of that !
Nice stairwell solution.
Me and my siblings cleaned out the basement and now hopefully it stayed cleared and my stepmoms.
It looks nice.
This has convinced me to get someone to do my basement. 😂 if that’s space took 5 months I can’t imagine how long it would take me for 2,000 sqft!
What did you end up doing?
Would you recommend installing a subfloor on a project like this? Or is it fine to install a thicker LVP? I have a project on the go right now and I am not sure if I should install a subfloor in my basement apartment
I'm liking the new music in your videos
Cheers danny!
Woah, what's that righteous jam playing during the demo? It would fit right in in a mid-eighties training montage.
Nice episode!
Jeff meant to say, 👍🏻 “They’re in the BLACK!!!” 👍🏻. (Red means a LOSS) Fun to watch the transformation and a financial win for the homeowner for once. Congratulations Homeowners!!
You mean in the green
Besides the drywall corners not as "sharp" as they could have been and the light switches not level with each other I think this was really done nice. I'm pretty sure they just lost their patience with that drywall stuff, doing that many corners can be daunting :)
Can LVP be installed directly over the stick on tiles? I have the same in my basement and was planning to over over them at some point.
Great video! I'm a huge fan, and it's nice to see the advice from your other vids put into practice by someone in your target audience!
Question: several times you mentioned leaving an airspace between the insulated stud wall and concrete foundation. Do you have to leave a space there or could you fill that gap with a rigid foam panel to pick up R-value?
I've seen 3/4" R5 foil faced PolyIsoCyanate foam boards that say they are rated for installation right on concrete walls that would slip right in behind the stud wall I'm redoing. If allowed, would I still need a space between the ISO foam and stud wall if the ISO foam is mounted right against the concrete?
I didn't notice any significant water intrusion, and saw mo marks on the foundation.
Love the videos! I am in the process of putting a salon in my basement what flooring would you recommend, something that will be easy to sweep up hair and also wipe up from any spelling of hair dye?
I need a renovation in the basement. Had a flood twice in December. Might be getting sick from the mold and moisture from down there
my husband and I are also doing our basement diy as of now. Electrical we are in process of adding wiring but not direct to panel as we have to hire License Electricians to add. We are just unlucky as we do not have a rough in our basement.
Just Wow!!!
thanks Jeff
That was money well spent.
I think so. What makes it even more worth it is the impact it has on people living in the house. Always nice to be surrounded by something clean and new, it doesn't have to be fancy. This applies for any sort of renovation.
Hey it just look like my house basement (almost) when we first bought it!! Petty much everything that the previous owner did was, at best, bad! I wish you could come to my place and see what we've done ... so far!!!
Nice looks really good an professional. What kind of gray paint was used in this basement finish I’ve been looking for a gray that is light but I don’t like those gray’s that they look blueish or beige
im in the process of designing my basement. This is awesome to know approx how much i need.
'
Lol he’s impressed with his work 😂
Awesome info! We are doing a basement with a sloped floor, what’s your suggestion to level?
Just curious. Would you recommend running the cold air return to the floor as cold air sinks?
I bought "high end" double aluminium barrier padding, with cheap "30 year warranty" laminate from home depot, and I love it. 5 years later, the laminate is starting to peel away in high traffic spots. I'm glad I didnt buy the cheaper "10 year" laminate. Next time I redo my flooring, I am pretty sure I'll switch to QuicTile porcelain instead. I think free floating is a good compromise compared to sticky tiles that take alot of install time, or hardwood floors that require expensive refinish costs, the other aspect being that snap floating tiles tend to expand+contract more easily. I guess I'm just waiting for a good sale to happen before pulling the trigger... :P
The basement remodel is all in grey, making it look like a b&w movie. When Jeff walks down into it, it looks like one of those old colorized films, where the background was not colored! [Kidding aside, very nice work.]
I also have a cold air return in the ceiling of my basement. I was told by a contractor that the air return needs to be near the floor. Is he trying to rip me off for more work or is this true?
i love this. im going to watch more videos and be my own diy contractor and hire out. reminds me of a local popular roofer in town. they told me they hire Legal Mexicans to do the work and then pay to send them back after the season ends...they really emphasized Legal. im like from where? maybe ill hire them out and be your competition.
The smell was from the original vapor barrier on the inside of the studs with fiberglass insulation. This creates a mold sandwich between the foundation wall and the vapor barrier. I see it all the time. I guess people think you insulate below grade the same as above grade NOT.
What type of vapor barrier would I use and does it go between the insulation and the outside wall or between the sheetrock and the insulation? Also, how is an air gap created to circulate air in the wall?
Look finished project looked great, just wanting to know you said it wasn't perfect, what little things needed to be done different for us OCD people. thanks for the videos
So you can obsesses over it? That's the last thing you need to know.
Great Videos. Enjoy watching most of your videos ( I have not watched all but may end up doing so). Question about Life proof or similar product in basement. is there anything we can do so that water do not stay under these new flooring system? My biggest concern is that no one knows of the leak and since they are water proof.... it would be even harder to detect a leak early on.
Also are there any other means of getting in touch with you/crew? I seem to have a hard time finding ways to send messages to the channel.
I have on the todo list to do just what this family has done to their basement.
I searched your videos for how to finish basement stairs and didn't see one. Do you have a link for that and I just missed it? Love your videos, thanks!
I wish you would come look at my dad's basement. I look at it and I'm overwhelmed. The house is about a 100 year old brick row house. I've been binge watching your video in preparation of turning the basement into a two bedroom suite.
Can you please tell me the flooring description with a upc or brand name and item # ? Also how important is it to level a basement concrete floor? What leveling product would you recommend? In USA. Thanks!
Good small basement. I liked the carpet on the stairs. There was actually in the bedroom right?
Dayum why’d you had to roast them so badly, I still feel the heat months later, sheeesh.
What is the name of the color used on the walls? Love it man great job 👏
Does a long vent run need to taper down or have an in-line powered fan? I have a 30' vent run in my basement and the furthest point from the furnace has weak air flow and not as warm (or cool during winter) as rooms closer to furnace.
I wish you lived in Maryland because I would hire your company to finish my basement. I would love to finish my basement because I’ve learned so much from your videos; however I’m not sure I can do it or not. I know I would save a lot of money by doing it myself. Maybe I’ll do it once a look at more of your videos
Jeff, for the basement doors, why are some doors that are facing into the room have the trim flushed whereas others are inverted?
Jeff you are our official go-to guy!
I have to skimcoat my new home bathroom it has crazy textured walls what drywall compound would you use in this humid environment? Fyi I already put in the nutone 110 cfm fan.
the compound will not matter. make sure you use a drywall primer to seal it and a 100% acrylic paint to finish and no worries. Cheers!
my basement is cold but has heat vent but no return. i don't know how to keep it warm during the summer
