I needed a bathroom remodel due to a plumbing issue. I had trouble finding contractors to come and stay on the job. All Claims was a wonderful recommendation! They helped with design and picking out finishes. They were quick, efficient, and made my new bathroom a wonderful experience.

I called them the yesterday with a plumbing leak. All Claims Repairs Honored Clarkes one year warranty. Terry Lay and his guys came right out and fixed the problem. Thanks Terry! Very professional.

Also had condensation in another bath vent, which I had them replace with insulated ducting. Again, excellent work.

I highly recommend All Claims Repairs. They aren't the least expensive, but do a good job and stand behind their work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Clarke Contractors to refinish and stain the exterior wood on our house. There were a few hiccups along the way, but Ken, the project manager, completely addressed every one of our concerns. He was very responsive and made sure we were absolutely satisfied prior to completion. Couldn’t ask for more and we were extremely pleased with the end result.  I would not hesitate to recommend Clarke Contractors.

Our most recent renovation was my personal favorite, the transformation of this laundry room makes doing laundry not seem so bad. It went from a dingy sad space to a bright cheery room I enjoy going into. Manny was my contractor, he is very professional and detail oriented. He always took time to explain the process and his work is outstanding.
I would definitely recommend Clarke Contractors for your home renovation projects!

We chose Clark contractors to restore our ceiling and downstairs bathroom after second floor water damage. Manny was assigned to us and we didn’t make it easy with our busy schedules. He communicated well, was kind and understanding and knew what he was doing when it came to the repair. You wouldn’t even be able to tell there was ever water damage!

Frequently Asked Questions for Basement Remodels

Have questions about the basement remodeling process, timelines, or what to expect? We’ve answered some of the most common questions homeowners ask before starting their project.

Can my basement be finished if it has moisture issues?

Before finishing any basement, we evaluate for moisture or drainage concerns. If needed, we’ll recommend solutions such as sealing, improved drainage, or ventilation to ensure your finished basement stays dry and protected long term.

Do you handle basement framing, drywall, and electrical work?

Yes. We manage the entire basement remodeling process — including framing, insulation, drywall, electrical, lighting, plumbing, flooring, and finishing details — so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors.

Can you add a bathroom to my basement?

Absolutely. We can design and build basement bathrooms, including plumbing rough-ins, showers, and vanities. We’ll assess your home’s plumbing system and determine the best solution for proper drainage.

How much will finishing my basement increase my home’s value?

While the exact return depends on your home and local market conditions, finishing a basement is often one of the more cost-effective ways to add usable square footage. A professionally finished basement can increase resale appeal, improve functionality, and make your home more competitive in the Cincinnati-area market. During your consultation, we can discuss how your specific project may impact long-term value.

How do homeowners make the most of a basement remodel?

The best basement remodels are designed with purpose. Many homeowners use their finished basement as a family room, home office, guest suite, gym, or entertainment space. Others add a bathroom or wet bar to increase functionality and long-term value. We’ll help you evaluate your space, ceiling height, natural light, and layout options to create a basement that truly fits your lifestyle.

What are the best flooring options for a basement remodel?

Because basements can be more prone to moisture than upper levels, it’s important to choose durable, moisture-resistant flooring. Popular options include luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, sealed concrete, and engineered flooring designed for below-grade spaces. We’ll help you select a flooring solution that looks great while standing up to basement conditions.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we offer flexible financing options to help make your basement remodeling project more affordable. Whether you’re planning a small update or a major renovation, we can connect you with financing plans that fit your budget. Ask us during your consultation to learn more.
