"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"They built a deck for me and my husband. The material was Trex. They were able to beat the prices of other contractors that we were able to get quotes on. They communicated to us through texts and calls and were extremely timely on their responses. The deck looks amazing. We can't wait to enjoy it when the weather gets warmer. They were also able to do other little things around the house for us that we needed (putting up a shower door, theater, etc) for an extra fee. I would highly recommend!"

"Did a fantastic job remodeling our basement for the purpose of reselling our home. Helped us keep the costs down, while still getting nice results. Brett and John worked with us to get past some design problems and had good suggestions on how to handle things. Didn't hesitate to discuss the job with us and listened to our input. Will definitely hire them again."

"Bill Mullane was an absolute joy to work with on our basement project. He not only demonstrated great skills, but was able to bring our vision of how we wanted the basement to look like to fruition. He was always kind, considerate and listened to our ideas. He was a fantastic problem solver and his work ethic, completion, and quality was 5/5 stars. We loved working with him and would recommend him without any hesitation."

"David has done many projects for me personally along for many customers of mine as I am a Realtor. Absolutely the best! Honest, trustworthy and high quality work. I have sold a homes that David had fixed up and did everything to the highest level, including the things that a buyer could not see because that is his standards and who he is. He's even told me when he was not the guy to hire because it is not his expertise. Strongly recommend Chapman Homes!!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Atlas, MI

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
