Can you add a bathroom or wet bar to my basement?

Yes, it's one of our strengths as a full-service remodeler. Plumbing and electrical are handled in-house as part of one contract.

Do you handle design and construction, or just the build?

Both. Our in-house designer plans your layout with 3D renderings, and our team handles demolition through finishing under one accountable roof.

What does a basement remodel cost?

Our finished basements typically cost $25,000 to $60,000 without plumbing and $50,000 to $90,000 with a bathroom or wet bar, depending on square footage and finishes. Every quote is itemized line by line, so you can see exactly where the money goes.

Turn Your Unfinished Cincinnati Basement Into the Best Room in the House

Finished basements built by one accountable team: fixed pricing, licensed in-house crews, backed for life.

The Bulldog Way

One team, one contract, one accountable result.

Most basement projects stall because homeowners are left coordinating a framer, an electrician, a plumber, a flooring crew, and a finish carpenter on their own. We handle all of it. Your project is led by a dedicated on-site Project Manager, guided by an in-house interior designer, and built by our own licensed crew, all under one contract. You get daily updates, dust barriers, floor protection, and a professional cleaning at the end.

Invest in your future

The square footage you already own.

A basement is the only place you can add a substantial amount of finished living space without extending the building or losing any of the yard. The walls, the roof and the foundation are already paid for. What remains is making the space warm, dry and worth being in.

The order matters: moisture and drainage first, insulation and structure second, finishes last. Reversing that is why so many finished basements have to be done twice.

We will tell you honestly whether your basement is ready to be finished. Sometimes the right first job is drainage rather than drywall.

What homeowners in Greater Cincinnati say about Bulldog Remodel Group

Mount Lookout, Cincinnati, OH · Custom Home Remodel

Mark Davidson

At first, I wondered how Bulldog could possibly turn a home we already loved into our dream home. But when we saw the design concepts, we were completely blown away. Before the renovation, our house never truly felt like our home, and since I work from home, I also needed a dedicated office. We wanted a space where our kids could grow up before heading off to college. From the very beginning, the Bulldog team was welcoming, communicative, and supportive. They gave us time to make decisions, listened to what we wanted, and guided us through every step of the renovation. As homeowners, having experts handle every detail made the process so much easier. When we saw the finished project, it honestly brought tears to my eyes. It became the dream home we had imagined. Everyone was professional, courteous to our kids and dogs, and a pleasure to work with. We’ll definitely use Bulldog again. They’re simply the best.

“We would highly recommend Bulldog Remodel Group. They helped us design and finish our basement. They worked within our budget, showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and all of their contractors were courteous and professional. They respected us and our home, were very trustworthy, and we would not hesitate to use them again.”

Basement remodeling FAQs

Questions, answered.

Most finished basements run a few weeks on site depending on size and scope. Because we order and stage every material before day one, the build runs on a tight, predictable schedule with daily updates.
