5/5

Renewal Solutions finished our basement a couple of months ago. We went from a concrete basement with nothing in it to an open concept fully finished basement where we then installed a gym and are planning to install a sauna. Renewal Solutions handled all the electrical for our sauna as well.

We had a lot of custom requests and updated the scope of work a few times without any issues. Working with Renewal Solutions was easy, quick and problem free.

The team was very respectful and clean, they cleaned up really well after each day’s work and did very high quality work (as confirmed by multiple inspectors and contractors we hired for other jobs later).

They are super responsive and we loved that they were a family business, so we got to deal directly with owners. The prices were very competitive as well. We took multiple photos throughout the whole process and a final video at the end, attaching them all here.

What’s It Gonna Cost? Let’s Talk Basement Remodeling Prices in Matawan

We know: basement remodeling can feel like a big leap. So let’s talk numbers. For a straightforward upgrade—think drywall, flooring, fresh paint, and modern lighting—you’re looking at $25,000 to $30,000. Add a wet bar, full bath, or custom layout and that number rises. But here’s the thing: every project is unique, and we’ll walk you through it before anything begins.

5 Factors That Affect Basement Remodeling Cost:

  • Layout Complexity
    Want a simple family room? That’ll be more affordable than a guest suite with a full bath and plumbing fixtures. Custom layouts require more design work, labor, and materials.
  • Waterproofing Needs
    If your space has moisture issues (and here in New Jersey, that’s not rare), waterproofing is non-negotiable. It protects your investment and avoids costly repairs down the road.
  • Finishing Materials
    Flooring, drywall, insulation—your choice of materials matters. Luxury vinyl planks cost more than carpet. Foam insulation costs more up front but can save money long-term.
  • Electrical & Plumbing Systems
    Adding new outlets, lighting, or plumbing fixtures for a bathroom or wet bar will impact your final price. But they’re also what transform your basement into real, livable space.
  • Permits & Inspections
    Yes, you’ll need necessary permits, and we’ll handle all that. Different towns have different rules—and we know Matawan’s regulations inside and out.

These prices are based on past projects. Your actual cost may vary. For an accurate estimate, contact us to discuss your basement remodel ideas.

No Budget Surprises. No Timeline Headaches. Just a Finished Basement That’s Done Right

We get it—remodeling isn’t cheap, and delays can turn excitement into regret. That’s why we keep your budget top of mind and stick to our timelines like your satisfaction depends on it. Because, well, it does.

Worried About Budget?
Think of it this way—most finished basements last 20+ years. If you invest $30,000, that’s around $125/month over that lifespan. That’s less than a couple of dinners out—and way more satisfying. Plus, it adds real value for potential buyers down the line.

Worried About Timelines?
You’ve probably heard the horror stories. But with Renewal Solutions, delays are rare and communication is daily. We work efficiently, we show up when we say we will, and we leave your home spotless every single day. That’s how we earn trust.
