The Handyguys complete their basement finishing series with an interview of a basement refinishing expert Roger German.

Brian and Paul are fortunate for the opportunity to interview an author and basement finishing expert. Roger German is the author of Remodeling a Basement from the Taunton Press “Build Like a Pro” series of books. Due to the length of this interview, it will be split up into two parts.

How Roger got started with his book
To DIY or not to DIY
Mistakes seen
You can do it cheap, do it fast, do it high quality - Pick two
