Many of us grew up in basements that were wet and dark. Sometimes they had a couch, some mold on the floor, and a hideous heater, but they were only halfway built. In between seasons, they occasionally served as nothing more than a hole where your parents threw holiday decorations.
This need not be the case, though! When a basement is finished, it becomes a valuable component of your house that can be used for everything you can think of. We at Ruidoso Custom Builders specialize in pleasantly surprising our clients by demonstrating how much they may adore their basement.
There are a lot of good reasons to remodel your basement and the best part is it won’t break the bank. It costs between $10 and $35 per square foot to finish a basement, which is worth it.
The square footage of a basement is not often included in the full footage count of your home. So, imagine what you can do with all that extra space! A 2000 square foot home may in fact be 2500 square feet, which makes a huge difference.
When you finish your basement, you will be adding:
With proper basement insulation and air sealing your home will become more energy efficient, helping you save on energy bills for the rest of the time you live there.
Basement finishing is one of the few remodeling projects that guarantees a return on investment. At 75 cents per dollar, it’s worth it!
Rather than building on a pricey addition that your city bylaws may not allow, look to the basement instead to add extra space to your home.
If you’re not using your home’s space to its fullest potential, consider finishing your basement. The benefits are many, with no drawbacks aside from upfront cost.
Your basement can be the most stylish space in your home. Think of it as your home away from home—a getaway where either children or adults can go to play.
Basement temperature is also great for working out in. Save on a gym membership and construct your own private workout getaway!
Movie tickets, snacks, drinks… the costs sure do add up for one night out. On top of this, you’re not even guaranteed a perfect experience. If other movie-goers are interruptive you’re not going to fully enjoy what you came to the theater for. Invest in a home theater to have date night in the comfort of your own home.
Does your bathroom or kitchen need an upgrade? Could your basement be more useful than it currently is? Have you been considering adding on an extra room to your home for your growing family? Ruidoso Custom Builders can help you with that! Over the years our remodeling construction company has had the pleasure of expanding upon many homes so that the families within them can enjoy them that much more.

"I had my kitchen renovated by BBR in the fall of 2015. I had some specific ideas of what all I wanted done and when I talked to Billy Roach about what I wanted, he had some good ideas as well. I was very impressed with the attention to detail that his employees exhibited while the renovations were in process. I was included in each step of the process, especially deciding what products to use and how I wanted different things to look. The final look of the project was much more than I could have hoped for and the quality of work was outstanding. Even nearly a year later, I still walk into my kitchen and think “Wow, what a difference”. I highly recommend BRR if you are planning on renovating your home. They are the best! "

While every project is different, the average cost for refinishing can land anywhere between $6,500 and $18,500.
Refinishing keeps all components of your cabinetry and replaces the color or finish. Refacing means you will keep your cabinet boxes but entirely replace the doors and drawer fronts.
Unless a deck has been untouched for a couple of decades and has rot eating through its foundation, it’s likely you can restore it. If it is made of composite, this likelihood increases as they usually are only susceptible to denting and scratching with the occasional stain.
If your roof, siding, windows, or doors are looking shabby and insulation is an issue you definitely should consider it. It will even increase the value of your home!
They will manage your entire build, so you don’t have to stress about it. They’ll suggest ideas you may not have considered, come with a reliable team, and will even save you money on materials!
Bathrooms and kitchens have the highest return on investment when it comes to home remodeling, so building an addition that expands on your kitchen, or building a second bathroom would be the best for added home value.
When claiming insurance for property damage, the condition of furniture, etc. before the disaster has to be taken into consideration. This is a pre-loss condition.
Remodeling your bathroom will update it, save energy costs, and even increase the value of your home. Should you sell, you will make the remodeling costs back, and then some.
You most certainly can! But if you want the best, longest-lasting method, contact RCB.
When you hire RCB, we will remove the old grout, ensures the stones are in their proper places and re-grout your patio.
First, only professionals should handle the smoke cleanup after a fire. We will identify all affected materials and follow through with extremely thorough and careful cleaning until any residue is gone.
Some floors have been refinished multiple times already so, to preserve their structure, we refinish them without sanding them first.
Depending on what you want to be done, we work off of a four to six-week base estimate, but it can climb anywhere up to four months if you choose to order custom cabinetry.
While water is being removed, the air must be dried out so water doesn’t build up in walls and in the ceiling.
