“Truly transformed our home!”
I reached out to Oak & Hammer Remodeling after seeing a neighbor’s renovation, and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, John from the team was professional, detail-oriented, and completely transparent.
The results? Nothing short of stunning. Every space in our home now feels cohesive, elegant, and built with care.

Harv rated us
“Oak & Hammer saved us from a renovation nightmare!”
We had started a remodel with another contractor who left the project halfway through. That’s when we found Oak & Hammer Remodeling — and they stepped in like heroes. Harv and his team took over with confidence and compassion.
They listened to every concern, offered smart design advice, and made sure the process was stress-free. What could have been a disaster turned into a dream kitchen and bathroom — both stylish and incredibly functional. Their attention to detail is second to none.
Morty rated us
“Incredible quality, even better service!”
I hired Oak & Hammer Remodeling for a complex job — we needed a structural wall removed and a new bedroom added.
Morty led the project with remarkable expertise. Everything was completed ahead of schedule, and the quality? Impeccable.
What impressed me most was their honesty and pricing — no surprises, no hidden fees. Other quotes we got were much higher and less transparent. I wholeheartedly recommend Oak & Hammer to anyone who wants results without the stress.
Frequently Asked Questions For Basement Remodeling in Texas
Do I need permits to remodel my basement in Austin?
Yes, most basement remodeling projects in Austin—especially those involving structural changes, plumbing, or electrical work—require proper permitting through the city or county. Oak & Hammer Remodeling handles all necessary permitting and inspections to ensure your project is up to code and stress-free from start to finish.
Can I turn my basement into a legal rental unit in Austin?
Yes, it’s possible to convert your basement into a legal rental unit (also called an ADU or accessory dwelling unit), but it must meet specific requirements, such as a private entrance, proper ceiling height, egress windows, and separate utilities in some cases. Our team at Oak & Hammer Remodeling is experienced in basement conversions and will guide you through the design, permitting, and construction process to ensure the space is compliant, comfortable, and income-ready.
How long does a typical basement remodel take?
Project timelines depend on the complexity of the remodel. A basic basement finishing project may take 4–6 weeks, while a full renovation or conversion—especially one involving structural changes, bathrooms, or kitchens—can take 8–12 weeks or more. At Oak & Hammer Remodeling, we create clear timelines and keep you informed every step of the way to ensure a smooth, on-schedule experience.
Will remodeling my basement increase my home’s value?
Yes, professionally remodeling your basement can significantly boost your home’s resale value. Adding livable square footage—whether it’s a media room, guest suite, or rental apartment—offers a strong return on investment. In the Atlanta market, finished basements are especially attractive to buyers looking for flexible, move-in-ready space. With Oak & Hammer Remodeling, you can expect a high-quality transformation that adds both beauty and long-term value
What are the biggest challenges in remodeling a basement?
Common challenges in basement remodeling include moisture issues, low ceilings, poor lighting, and outdated layouts. In Austin, humidity and older construction can add complexity. Oak & Hammer Remodeling addresses these head-on with a thorough site assessment, proper waterproofing, and design strategies that maximize ceiling height, light flow, and space efficiency. Our team ensures your basement is not only beautiful, but also safe, dry, and built to last.
