Any type of bathroom remodel is going to cost you.
For refacing have you checked out "Bath fitters".

I was wondering what to use to kill the bleach and what kind of materials are good for basement remodels. If it would be better to get mold resistant or moisture resistant. Also what kind of ventilation is required in a basement. And maybe some cons on wood paneling because that was what they were planning on putting down there and I think it's a terrible idea.
Before you spend all that money remodeling your basement make sure he is not going to flood again
Have a waterproofing company install an internal perimeter drainage system to collect all the water around and under your foundation and divert it to a sump pump.
The sump pump will then get the water out and discharge it away from the foundation. Only then you can safely remodel your basement.
As for materials I recommend you avoid drywall, wood studs and fiberglass insulation. All these materials are know to absorb water and grow mold. Fiberglass also loses all its R-Value when humid.
I suggest you look into finishing systems developed specifically for basements, considering that even basements that do not flood or leak, always have some level of moisture - usually ground moisture seeping in through the concrete basement walls.
Since not all theses systems are created equal, make sure you pick one that is 100% waterproof, non-absorbent and inorganic.
Cement core, rigid foam board insulated panels and plastic basement flooring tiles for example are made to withstand all sorts of basement conditions and will never get ruined even if your basement floods again. They also offer thermal and moisture protection and can be removed to access plumbing and wiring as needed - a very desirable feature in a basement.

Finished bathroom remodel 2007
I live in a small condo. The condo's value is about 300k (i live in los angeles) I want to remodel without spending a lot of money...what should I do to the restroom floors...sink....mirror and shower. Please help!
you need to sit down and decide a budget first then check prices on the things you want in there next contact a contractor and get a labor price then work within your budget
We are thinking about moving our gas furnace and gas water heater to make the basement remodel more sensible. When they built our house, they were definitely not thinking and the floorplan is very tight.
Approximately how much would it be to do such a thing? Is it possible to create a new drain hole in the basement as well? We would want to move that too since it would be in the middle of the room = not ideal.
You are talking a lot of money. Moving the furnace will create a lot of problems. Its located in the center of your basement for a reason. Its so that all the heat vents will be balanced going to all the rooms. Changing the location of the furnace will change all that and will probably require re-doing a lot of duct-work, not to mention moving the gas feed line. Moving the water heater is not nearly as bad and will also require a new gas line. Changing the drain location on your floor may be the hardest of all. This will require a jack-hammer to break up your floor, re-lay the pipes and re-cementing. So as a professional who has finished many basements, i would recommend building a room around your furnace/water heater and design your basement around that. You need about two feet of walking room around the furnace/heater.

I would like to remodel my bathroom. I want it done by a professional. I live in a one bathroom house so I do need access to it on a daily basis. I need it done for a good price.
I live in Alabama near Birmingham.
look on Craigslist.com- make sure you check references and the better business bureau too. Before you start, find out if they are insured- would hate for them to purposely fall and then sue you for something.
I'm considering remodeling my basement and I have a few questions.I want to put in a movietheatre and just a general family area with maybe a bar and a couple of games. Any idea how much this would put me down for?(New Jersey)
Everything....building materials electonics the whole deal
I would make sure your basement will not get water before refinishing it. If you already have a sump pump or drain tiles, great, but if not, I would seriously consider adding one or both. Otherwise you could ruin carpeting, drywall, etc. with the first minor seepage.
I've seem basements done for $15,000 to $25,000, but it really depends on the extent. I would ask a few contractors for ideas so you get a general ballpark of how much of it you want to remodel and what you'll put in there. Try to draw it on paper, too. Will you leave some as storage? Will you have to move pipes to make headroom, etc.?
