I'm looking for a contractor to finish my basement (bought the house brand new, it's been all concrete for 10 years now...)
The house itself is 2000 square feet (so ~1000 in the basement). I'm getting quotes ranging from $30,000 to $40,000 (2 rooms, bathroom and kitchen) plus $12,000 for a separate walk out exit. I have no idea how to screen the contractors who come. I'm going to make sure they are insured, but its tough to hand over $40,000+ to a guy you met on kijiji. Has anyone on here had their basement finished? I'd love to hire someone with a reference of their work. The last thing I need is a hack job, and the internet is full of nightmare contractors experiences.
