Interior remodeling transforms the spaces where you live. Whether you're finishing a basement to add living space, converting to an open floor plan for modern living, or upgrading finishes and trim throughout your home, thoughtful interior remodeling increases comfort, functionality, and home value.
R&L General Contracting excels at interior remodeling because of our background in finish carpentry and structural framing. We handle everything from removing walls safely (understanding load-bearing requirements) to installing custom built-ins and millwork that reflect your home's character.
Basement finishing is one of the most cost-effective ways to add living space. An unfinished basement offers only wasted potential; a finished basement adds a family room, home office, recreation space, or guest suite. Proper basement finishing requires addressing moisture control, egress windows for safety, adequate ceiling height, and waterproofing. R&L handles all of these elements, creating basements that are comfortable, dry, and fully functional.
Open floor plan conversions reflect modern living preferences. Removing walls between kitchen, dining, and living areas creates a spacious, connected environment ideal for families. However, removing walls requires understanding load-bearing structures. Not every wall can be removed, and those that can typically require a beam to carry the load. Our structural framing expertise is invaluable here.
Flooring anchors interior spaces. Hardwood flooring brings warmth and elegance but requires proper moisture protection in basements. Tile offers durability for kitchens and bathrooms. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) mimics wood appearance while being more affordable and moisture-resistant.
Trim and finish carpentry transform a space from generic to custom. Crown molding frames rooms; baseboards anchor walls; wainscoting adds architectural interest. Built-in shelving, window seats, and custom cabinetry showcase our carpentry skills and create spaces that feel designed rather than standard.
Interior remodeling costs vary widely based on scope. Basement finishing runs $50 to $100 per square foot ($8,000 to $20,000 for a 200 sq ft space). Open floor plan conversions might cost $5,000 to $15,000 depending on structural complexity. Flooring runs $3 to $10 per square foot installed. Custom trim and built-ins start at $5,000 and can exceed $50,000 depending on complexity.
Yes, but it requires proper engineering and support. Load-bearing walls carry the weight of the structure above and can't be simply removed. We install a structural beam, support it with posts, and ensure the load is properly distributed. An engineer designs the solution; we execute it correctly.
Basement finishing typically takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on size and complexity. The timeline includes framing, electrical, plumbing rough-in, drywall, flooring, and finishing. R&L provides a detailed schedule upfront.
Absolutely. Custom built-ins, shelving, cabinetry, and fine trim work showcase our carpentry background. We create built-in solutions that are beautiful, functional, and tailored to your space and style.
For living spaces and bedrooms, hardwood or luxury vinyl plank offer warmth and beauty. For basements and kitchens, tile or waterproof LVP prevent moisture issues. We discuss durability, maintenance, and aesthetics to help you choose the right flooring.
