Finished Basement Estimating

How does the cost of Total Basement Finishing compare to using traditional drywall?

We are thinking of having Total Basement Finishing come out to give us an estimate, but if they are way more expensive than drywall I don’t want to have to waste two hours. Please share any personal experiences from using Total Basement Finishing. Thanks!

Trevor, just don’t get one estimate. There are a lot of companies that finish basements. Get a lot of estimates. Fortunately, there are plenty of local basement contractors (who specialize in finishing them) seeking to give free estimates with no obligation, and taking advantage of this is the consumer-smart way to go about finding an accurate answer to your question. It’s important that you get a local estimate and not rely on guesses found here on Yah, as a lot of factors really bear on the cost of such a project, including the following: The cost of material and labor greatly varies by location.

If you negotiate well with the contractor and he buys the materials for you, you may try to have him pass the discounted cost of the materials to you, as usually contractors get discounts (called “contractor’s discounts” / “contractor’s price”) when buying from home improvement stores because of the many purchases they make as required by their jobs..

As I said, Free estimates from local basement-finishing contractors are the key to your success in this home improvement project of yours. Here’s a great link to a handyman site that offers free very resourceful information to assist you in determining the cost of your project, and, ultimately, selecting a local basement-finishing contractor in an effort to get the best deal for you:
