My dad was a carpenter and then a builder since he was 16 until he medically retired at the age of 64. Up until he was 60, he could still lift a full board of GIB to the ceiling, hold it with one hand, and nail it in with the other hand. The strongest man I knew, and he knew all the old-school tricks of the trade. He passed away last year, and I watched this whole vid, because it reminded me of all the projects my dad did and the pride he took in his work. The skill and detail taken in this reno is a credit to your company, and I hope that you continue to be successful in helping families make their dream homes become a reality, long into the future.
Wini Mott sorry for your loss. my grandpa also owned a construction company and he passed away in 2017.
RIP sounds like a godamn good american
Sorry for your sad loss Wini. May your dad rest in peace.
That old man strength is no joke. The old school men are slowly disappearing. I started construction in 82 at 13 years of age. Back then you worked and did quality work or the boss world pick you up buy the neck and throw you across the job sight. Not nice but effective.
My father was the same kind of tradesman, but he was a journeyman electrician. He had those Popeye forearms and had tremendous controlled strength. Growing up on a farm in the middle of the Great Depression was not for sissies and taught him the value of doing it correctly the first time.
I don’t know why this was in my recommendation vids, I’m a 27 year old female who loves makeup, clothing and hair videos. But I watched the entire video of this
Haha! Glad to have you aboard! More videos coming soon!

Started off last fall 'not a builder' ... currently 'not bad at building' thanks to videos like this one.
Very encouraging. I'm almost at the point of seeing the light at the end of my completed reno tunnel.
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
Welcome back to another “why is this in my recommended” video. Solid video tho keep up the good work.
Tim Hogan I swear I see this comment everywhere
Oh actually I love timelaps videos. A lot of people do! In wich is something created or imroved. House renos, garden make overs, car detailing, houswifes cleaning their houses... Yeah I know we are crazy...
About how much could someone expect to pay for this type job? Roughly?
Lol. I enjoy it tho
Idk why this is on my recommended but “It worked out really well”
"turned out really nice"
“Really firm and solid.”
@@reliablytcg "and sturdy"
Phenomenal job! Finished basements are wonderful. They can be anything you want, a gym, a home office, a guest room, a play area. It's a great space to have.
This is art. This something you can take pride in when you get home after knowing what you accomplished. If I did this Id check up on my every couple months taking pride in knowing what I've created.
I’m 15 and I’m really interested in having a job like this in the future. So happy this was recommended to me
Kurt 31 keep grinding look into what union you can join that does these type of jobs
Yup... You want to try and find a union job...
It's a cut throat business.
My dad hated the unions I recommend going independent but that is not everyones thing. It pays more to be independent
Alrik Anderson paying for your health insurance will delete any extra income as a independent.
Everyone talking about how they got this in they recommended but I dead ass looked it up-
Ajonai_ Army same tho

Lol same

I’ve been remodeling a damaged house with my dad, we only have about this much left to go and I can’t wait to move in. This video makes me feel relief it’ll be done before I know it.
I turned my basement into a 1 bedroom apt. Added a bathroom and kitchen. That rental income covered my mtg. I lived for free and someone else paid for my home! I would never rent! But i love renters.
no one:
youtube: wanna watch this contractor finish a basement?
me: yes
Yes. Because I live in TX so we don't have basements and I just live vicariously.
Yes. I live in Florida and we don’t have basements. I do have a garage though
High key might tell my dad about this opportunity. Lol people love time-lapsed videos like this and he's a master builder (has been doing carpentry and whatever else for a solid 22 years). He might not make bank, but it'd be satisfying to watch
I’m trying to finish my garage so I guess this is why it came up ol
Somehow it knew I was going to finish my own basement this winter.
Only one video?! I was getting ready to binge watch your whole upload list 😩 very nice work!
Honestly
Same
Same!
Y’all like this kind of stuff??? I can upload stuff like this
Same!!!
Looked this up for tips on how to finish my own basement, infinitely overwhelmed lol
Just closed on my new house and came here looking for ideas to finish my basement. To see the process here, from start to finish was SO cool. Very well done. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
One piece of advice that will help, install a drip ceiling instead of the drywall. I cannot tell you how many times I opened up my ceiling tiles to run more electric, computer network likes, cable, etc. would be impossible to do with a drywalled ceiling.
The famous “renter’s beige”! I did not notice that all the houses I ever rented were beige, until I read a comment on another channel.
Leah Lamipeti hides dirt and minor damage well but it doesn’t look very nice
Elin Winblad I have to admit I tend to lean more towards to neutral tones myself! I’m a sucker for the beiges!
Leah Lamipeti I like neutral too but we repainted our contractor brown house (inside) to a very pale grey that compliments any decor change we might do. It’s beautiful with greens and blues as well as warm colors even pink. I can’t remember the shade but we must have picked the right shade it’s not too cool or too warm 😃 . Our personal taste of decor (and our tendency to rearrange the house every few months) meant the walls have to be and stay the same- blank slate
Omg my place I rent is beige same color 😂
I never understood this obsession americans have with this diarrhea color on the walls. And those nasty dirty looking carpets on the floor. It's like the default look of 90% of houses built in the US, diarrhea colored walls, white doors and dirty looking carpets, which are also very hard to clean and maintain.
amazing how he did all of this in just 23 minutes
You estupid
Gerardo Jaimes actually you are
@@NECROMANCER20 fax
I've seen one done in 10mins
I know right😆🙃
Just came across the video. You remind me of a contractor we’ve who builds 600k homes. He has a 3-5 year waiting list because of his attention to detail and quality of work. Your the only other contractor that I’ve came across that matches his level of experiences and care. Great 😊 job buddy! I remember helping my dad remodel our basement 40 years ago and I was hammering a nail in a stud. Now remember this is in the the early eighties when paneling was still in style. So my dad was just about to nail the fancy oak dark paneling to the 2 x 4 studs when he noticed I 🔨 hammered the bent nail in the stud. He looked at me with the stern look that I knew oh crap 💩 I’m going here it now look. He said son do you really think that’s expectable workmanship. Now remember, I’m fifteen. 🤷♂️ IDK, I have donkeys kong to play as soon as we hang these last few paneling. My response, no one’s going see the nail it’s be hidden by the paneling. My dads response was that in in thirty years when the next home owner remodels and decides to tear out the paneling he doesn’t want the next guy to say boy look at the crappy work this joker did. I still didn’t get his point quite that day but I pulled the nail for and hammered a new one in for the sake of being able to play donkey Kong. My dad passed on in 2012 but his importance of taking pride in your work has stuck with me and I have passed on that to my boys and they too take pride in their work as do my brother and my sisters boys and her daughters. They all would maybe their Grandpa proud. It’s the little things that count. Like the fold in the toilet paper roll. Yes we noticed, thanks for sharing and GodBless
Just really love people and companies that do quality work and pay attention to detail to get a final product that they would want for themselves if they were the customer. Great job!
Take a drink every time he says “it worked out really well”!

I would never get dehydrated 🤣
"OH FUCK!!"
Already looks 20 years old with that texture, colour and carpet.
BMHS Kinda like that aesthetic to be honest, it gives this cozy feeling.

What do you mean? Looks like the place my family moved into brand new back in 2001- OH GOD I'M OLD
LMAOOOO GOOD ONE M8 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video (I see it's 4 yrs old) was extremely awesome, informative and very well done. It looks great. I wish I could find someone like this locally. I was debating whether to get an unfinished basement (which I really don't need, but suddenly decided why not, I could just throw up some ship lap or whatever it's called. This makes me realize it's way too much involved, and for me not a good option. Priceless!
Thank you for your video! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for, as I need to do the same to my basement. This is simply gorgeous!
I'm going to do for you let me know I'm in Atlanta
@@martinezrenovacion2687 how much for 2000sqf 2 bed 1 bath like this but I want a small kitchen as well
Carpeted basements are all fun and games until the sumppump fails
And then carpet is extremely quick and easy to remove, and cheap to replace.
Any flooring would need to be replaced
@@cm01 Porcelain tile, Acid stained concrete, Polished Concrete, and Ceramic tile will not need to be replaced if the basement floods.
That's cold 😨
@@shermansheets Acid stained concrete and polished concrete wouldn't get replaced likely because it's the foundation itself, that doesn't make it deal to get wet. Of course the water and shit wouldn't ruin it, but you'd still be fighting mold and stuff pretty hard since even polished concrete is still porous. As for the tile, it's the grout that'll get you for the same reason.
Take a shot every time he says "very strong, very sturdy"
I'm drunk 🤦♂️
I vant yu tooo dye bfcose I isnt dnurk.
Haha. To funny.
Every single time he says “really”
@Frank L 😂😂😂😂😂
Over 2 millions people are looking at you hard work, this is amazing.................you are fantastic.....im have watched everything and sure are wonderful.........
imagine constructing a brand new basement to add THAT paint and carpet
What’s wrong with it?
🤣🤣🤣 its not that bad...it makes the place look warm and inviting
They wanted it too look similar to the upstairs...?
And that counter and sink...
Pretty much all new homes have the same ol paint color and carpet or some linoleum and those horrible blinds that break so easily. It's all very simple and boring. Charm is out of style for some reason. Maybe it coast too much🤷♀️
I can't believe I just watched this entire video without stopping it. Very good job to all who worked on this project.
"end up screwing in the drywall to (through) the bottom of the ductwork". You had me till this. Adding another possible point of failure for the hvac. Now it'll always have some additional hole to contend with and cleaning the ducts will be just that much more pain in the ass. I would have been more impressed if you did a 2x2 ceiling grid instead of hanging drywall to keep this simple.
I thought that at first but I think he just meant that they framed exactly even with the ductwork, so that the drywall is literally touching the ductwork with no gap. (You can see that towards the beginning). I don't think he drilled holes into the ducts.
It would lower the ceiling even more.
The expansion and contraction of the ductwork will affect the drywall screws. Dust accumulation at the screws.
Ductwork is not designed to have screws inserted.
Alex Tomanovich he said he screwed the dry wall into the bottom of the ducts. If you watch the video you can see him doing it as well.
Cant believe he did that..
Born, raised, live in Florida and here I am watching a basement remodel
“Very strong very sturdy”
Also Spokane repping!
Best part is 18:21. Your feet never changed position as he was vacuuming. Lol. Stayed shoulder width apart the entire time.
lol
i was thinking the same thing 😂
lmao he moonwalked
he has on the shoe glides so he doesn't mess the floor up. you slide around in them.
When you said folding table I thought how does that table fold up. Lol
The Cynic folding clothes u brick
I've been remodeling house's for 35 years. You kids did a great job.
Thank you for doing a quality job! Your attention to detail and craftsmanship shows in this project. All of the contractors I hire I have to baby sit and be there while they're doing the job, otherwise, I'd have a door on my roof.
I didn’t realize how many codes my basement apartment breaks, lol 😅
No egress, no insurance coverage in case of fire. Giant risk for the rent.
My old apartment (2nd floor) had a light switch IN the shower 😆
Same😯😉
@@ElinWinblad noooo holy shit
@@ElinWinblad I'm shocked they did that
I’m in the mood to build something after getting this in my recommended and watching this
Very bold of the homeowner to create the Backrooms in their basement.
I am from Spokane, Wa! Had to finish watching this video just because of that.
"That worked out really nice" should be the title of the video
I was just thinking that.lmao how many times do you think he said that?
Yeah, that would work out really nice
Step one: Have a large basement that isn't being used for anything.
Funny that this was recommended to me. Because I have a basement like this.
Bluetenit same! i don’t usually watch vids like this either
Very common in the midwest
Mads Feierskov my basement is WAY crowded but my parents and I want to re-do it so we can use it for stuff
Mads Feierskov I HAVE A HUGE BASEMENT AND ATTIC BUT OUR AUNTIE WONT KET US GO IN THIER 😭😭
I'm a small contractor in Louisiana and I think y'all did a very good job good craftsmanship thumbs up
I’m about to take on a very similar project. I’m going to be doing it myself, which I’m a little nervous about, but this video gave me a lot of confidence. Watching the time-lapse was amazing to watch, and I’m so glad that you went back over and narrated all the steps. I can’t wait to get into my new home and start this project. Amazing job to you and your crew. Thank you!
hello, how did it go? did you do it?
@@angelgogogo hey! I did finally finish it, and it came out awesome! I did it all myself, except for the plumbing, I hired someone to finish the roughed in pipes. I went for an industrial pub look and I think I nailed it. I wish I could share photos on here haha I'm super proud of myself. Thank you for checking in, you gave me the confidence I needed!
@@scottkoenigsmark5739 awesome, congratulations!!
@@scottkoenigsmark5739that’s awesome. I’m planning to finish my basement as well but I have zero experience. I’ve only changed out appliances recently , done some demolition and minimal drywall work in the past so I’m nervous 😬😅
Comments on this video go one of two ways:
1.) “No idea how this got on my recommended, but watched the whole thing” (me too though..?)
And 2.) experts bashing all the subpar work this contractor has done that looks good to everyone non-experienced.
If you’re bored just read the comment section it’s spICy.
Note to self.... Buy home with finished basement lol. Great job 👍👍. Love the video
This is what hard work looks like. I bet your clients were happy ASF
Nobody:
Zem: Uses “really well!” In every other sentence
The frame rate of the camera made it look like the guy that was vacuuming was sliding across the floor

D Hibbz Don’t learn from this video if you do😊
Same!! Just got myself a measuring tape and drill 😅 haha jk
All the skills needed can be easily learned. Just a matter of taking your time, planning, and doing.
@@chriszeien9112 Do you have like a list of things to learn?
I learned about oil filters, train engines and basement building all thanks to youtube.
TH-cam Recs, keeping men, men.
They first bedroom he showed is literally my dream room
TH-cam recommended this to me as we are buying a house right now in Spokane Valley with a semi finished basement that just needs a little work. Great job!
Not really sure why I’m watching this video but I enjoyed it 😂 thanks for sharing .
great job . 18:44 that laundry room needs cabinets under that counter for detergent and other supply storage. I would also add top cabinets above that counter. You can never have enough storage to stay organized !
You've inspired me to do my basement finish myself. With the exception of the electrical, HVAC, and plumbing. Thanks for the cideo.
I bought a foreclosure once that was once a basement as beautiful as this. When they lost the house, they went through that beautiful basement with a sledgehammer. I had to spend 2 days getting to look like the before picture in this video.
He did a great job but the client has awful taste in paint colors.
It’s not that bad. It’s great for messy tenants and trust me MOST tenants are messy.
It's meant to be NEUTRAL. Earthy tones are cool. I like it. 👍
Speak for yourself kid, absolutely nothing wrong with that color.
Sanghamitra Gautam I hate the popcorn paint style. Could go for new style like today.
Sanghamitra Gautam not really it’s a basic color that is compatible with a lot of others and makes the rooms look bigger
I'm contemplating on finishing my basement...funny enough, the shape of this basement looks exactly like mine. This was a great video...I just wish the video was a bit slower. Great work, guys!
You can slow down the speed of the video
Beautiful basement, so important to keep the moisture out of it too, my grandparents have a finished basement, the house was built in 74', but they never kept it adequately de-humidified, now it just smells musty as hell down there and probably without a doubt has some mold. It definitely smells better now that I hooked their de-humidifier up to the sump-pump so they don't have to worry about emptying it all the time or getting lazy and not doing so. But the damage is definitely already done.
Amazing job - the style is opposite my style but I,ve never had a contractor or worker do such a good job and even go the extra mile with attention to detail and even vacuuming!
A general contractor that installs carpet is something you wouldn’t expect
Wow i totally needed this video considering im a 13 year old boy up way too late watching youtube
This job seems fun to do. I’m very hands on and my mom always has me painting or fixing walls for her. Might have to send my resume 😂
Also to add finsihed basements are my favorites parts of the house
I loves every minute of this video. He is such a professional, I wish he lived in Maryland I would trust him completely...
You've GOT to be kidding
Very well done. The pride you take in your work shows.
Thanks for putting the wall so close to the furnace. Makes it really easy to replace them. Dumcuff
Drop dead gorgeous! You must be so proud of your work. This is just amazing, I would love a basement like this.
Heck yeah right. Not the sterio type of a basement all creepy. This is such a beauty
@@LizM0888 Makes a nice home for the centipedes and spiders. They'll love the dark area under the steps! Dont ever open that door without a can of Raid in the other! lol
Being a home inspector when I saw the video thumbnail of before and after, I thought alright let's see if they actually install an egress. Good job!
why install an egress window?
@@bboy232 must have 2 exits atleast Minimum width of opening 20 in. Minimum height of opening 24 in. Minimum net clear opening: 5.7 ft. Maximum height from floor 44 in... if a fire were to happen at the stairs you need a way a way out the original window dimensions were far too small and too high to escape.
@@bboy232 It's a fire escape,you have to have it by law.
Every bedrooms must have a window big enough for ppl to get out in case of fire.
My first thought was, never mess with foundation wall. Then, I hope proper drainage is put where they had to put the windows.
NYC has a lot of homeowners who do illegal basement conversions... Without obtaining permit.
I sat and watched this whole video. You did your thing!
That's an excellent remodel because without the description I would have assumed that was upstairs...
Wow love the time lapse, love the narration, love the before, during and after. Keep posting.
If moisture comes in behind the wall and reaches the wood, it needs to dry to the interior. With poly on it, it can't, so mold is more likely to grow with poly.
If they had sealed the basement walls prior to insulation would this still be an issue? Or would you still get mold/rot from interior moisture penetrating the drywall?
Agree it actually is worse adding the poly on top
It is a bad idea to have a vapor barrier on both sides of the insulation. You are almost guaranteed to hold moisture in the summer and winter.
True, but the way he did it is fine, the poly isn’t against the concrete and from what I remember when I was building houses back in 08-10 that way is correct if not overkill. We usually only polyed the space between the ceiling and attic, since like he said, the paper is considered a vapor barrier.
That is not the correct way to insulate a basement. Need to start with foam. Do polyiso boards with all seams taped behind the studs or closed cell spray foam. And then do a batt insulation in the stud Bay on top of the foam ( flash and batt)
I could live in that basement it’s so nice!
I need all this done to my basement i would be the one of many happiest man around
Now this is nice! I don’t have a basement but now I want one.
Me: it's 2am, time to go to sleep.
Also me: Ooh let's stay up and watch a guy build rooms in a basement..
XSAoRAD me currently
I don't know why but I enjoy watching these videos! Great work!
Oh my gosh as soon as I started watching this video, I got so interested because, my uncle is doing electrical work down in my basement, basically kinda sorta, finishing it, I am so like, interested now in the video, good job making it men!!
Man everyone's a critic lol looks good man
I feel like I'm gonna start walking around saying "very strong very sturdy"
I read through the comments, and, as expected, I knew some comedian would put, “Amazing how they did this in 23 minutes.” Beat me to the punch….
Amazing work! wish I could do it. I know the customer was pleased.
I know most contractors do not disclose price, but I know this had to cost $25K to $30K. I may be low….
That’s crazy it looks great
@9:48 you just screwed the ceiling drywall to the ducting. You're fired. 1: ducting isn't meant to hold any load other than itself. 2: due to the heat differential between the duct air and the room those cheap steal screws will form condensate and rust causing stains on the ceiling and eventually the screws will fail. Ideally all duct work would have at least 1 inch of air space or insulation between it and the drywall.
Spot on. I didn't even think about the staining from the screws due to condensation.
What is code on framing too? Looks like the studs are like 20-24" on center, is 16" on center not code or recommended?
Ok bob the builder
If I were the client, I would've opted out of the laundry room and instead turned that space into a small kitchen and put a stackable laundry unit in the bathroom. you guys did an awesome job, though.
Just the basement could be an entire house!! Like omg that is huge!!
Not really. He used a wide angle lens for most shots, it’s two tiny bedrooms and a thin/ long living room.. laundry and bath are decent, but that’s still really small IMO
I don't know why someone would give you a dislike this is great work and price! If you're in my area I would hire you for our basement complete renovation! 👍
First off let me say that you're framing and your plumbing look good and very professional.
Your whole job looks well thought out and executed. You didn't mention or show a inspector. If for whatever reason you didn't apply for and get a permit that is a serious error in judgement.
Inspectors are there for everyone's benefit
You absolutely should not screw drywall directly to metal ductwork. Cold air traveling through in the summer will cause condensation and drip out through the screw holes causing rust and or mold.
Wether you agree with me on that or not no one should overlook the fact you did not use moisture resistant sheetrock in the bathroom. That is code pretty much all over the Free world.
Hence the issues with not getting an inspection.
Call me a hater or a know it all but you'll see I'm right when you're ripping all that black mold infested soggy drywall out
It's actually not code where I live. The building inspector told me it was useless, and searching the net it seems opinions are mixed but the view is definitely out there that it does little good.
As for screwing directly into ductwork, I agree, shouldn't be done
I agree with Dustin. Sure you SHOULD use it, but it has a negligible difference. At the end of the day, it's drywall. If it gets wet, it's gonna get wrecked regardless. Also not code where I live either.
The screws in the duct made me cringe, good god.
We're going to agree to disagree because I recently retired after 30 odd years if remodeling and construction. Pull off a piece of regular drywall after a year and look at the back and you'll most likely find black mold. Moisture resistant board does an excellent job repelling moisture. In conjunction with proper installation of the materials and a good ventilation system ( wether a fan vented to the exterior or simply an open window , which passes code too ) will keep your walls dry
You said you asked around the internet for opinions. Am I assuming correctly then that you have no experience? If so why comment on a subject you are not familiar with? It's better to remain quiet and have the world assume you're ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
@@scotthuff2793 no reason to get personal. You will note that I did not give my opinion on using MR drywall because, as you guessed, I do not have the experience to give such an opinion. I simply noted that 1) it is not code to use it where I live, a fact that does not require experience to know, and 2) the building inspector who worked with me on my bathroom told me I could use it if I wanted but in his opinion it didn't provide much benefit, if any. He is a retired contractor as well. My comment about the internet was simply acknowledging the fact that the view that green board isn't necessary isn't an outlier.
In the bathrooms where you removed regular drywall and found mold, in what condition was the caulking? Where there other areas where moisture could have gotten behind the drywall? Was the fan big enough?
@@dustinmitchell4711 yeah I tore the drywall out of my bathroom and redid it, there was no mold on it. (walls were textured, and I hate skim coating.) But judging from his reply he's a know it all. God forbid someone do research on the internet...
I wish my parents basement I used to live I was done better. I had a massive dehumidifier, those little containers that capture moisture. Yet the carpet always felt wet, the clothes in my drawers always felt wet, behind and under all furniture was moldy, and anything in my closet got moldy. It was a nightmare
That's how it was with my parents basement to the point where they had to get it redone.
That can lead to some really awful health conditions. I’m glad you didn’t mention any chest infections or asthma that could have easily arose (among other things)
I was watching storage units and this was recommended to me. I would totally live here good job
Nice job. When I did our basement for about $200 I sprung for insulation in the ceiling wasn't required but made a perfect sound barrier. That way we did not hear family walking around upstairs and the basement surround sound was muted for the living spaces upstairs.
If I have space like that I will absolutely build a home theater room
"turned out very nice, very strong very sturdy"
Wow, and I was looking on how to add wall inside my den for extra bedroom... this is what came up.
You guys did amazing transformation....
Hope I can remember this, or else I’ll have to watch again
Thank you, it was s rare one gets to ask themselves the question "why did i watch a random person finish a basement for 23 minutes."
