3 years ago I was at the same point. 650 sq ft, 1 bedroom 1 bathroom and a living room area with a small bar counter, carpeted with tile in the bathroom. I received 3 quotes from basement/renovation companies ranging from $45-$55k. I decided be the contractor myself and hire out the subs individually. I only did the framing and then the bathroom tiling myself. Final accounting was just under $20k.
We're about to embark on a major reno on the rest of our house this spring and I'm going to do it myself again.
