"Jose Aritas and his crew are top-notch: professional, pleasant, and efficient. Jose responded quickly to our inquiry on Angi, and came the next day to estimate our job (painting the interior front half of the house, including the ceiling, and also minor master bathroom remodeling). They were ready to go as soon as the new countertop and plumbing fixtures arrived. He kept us informed, arrived on time with his amazing crew of 6 pros, and had the work done within two days. Jose is calm, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile. His crew did a careful, beautiful job, including leaving the house totally cleaned up. We highly recommend Aritas Remodeling & Painting -- this is a pro you can count on to do the job, and do it right. "

"It went really well, at every turn! The sales people were helpful and courteous. The installers were professional, skillful and tactful. The windows are beautiful. Everyone was on time and if anything delayed an arrival - in our case, weather stalled the installation by a day, the staff was in touch with me and communicated the delay and the reschedule. It was a delight to work with them."

"While their installation went well, their customer service is awful. Almost 1 year later, I get a bill for a service charge even though their tech said it will be waive by buying the central air conditioner. I had to call 2 separate times arguing with them to get it corrected. The VP Steve was not as helpful as you think he would be. I would not recommend to anyone."

"We recently moved to a 95 yr old home. We were told we had a dry basement when in fact we did not. We looked in to basement waterproofing with a couple different companies but the scope of the work and the cost didn’t feel like the right solution. We had Don come out and he was very knowledgeable, professional and very courteous. He recommended some things that the other companies did not. He actually talked us out of mor expensive fixes. He said he believes in starting with the least intrusive, least expensive options first. His solutions worked for us. We would 10/10 recommend Don and his crew at Foundation Doctors LLC."

"I had used W.C Borchelt for years for plumbing, electrical etc... Initially I was happy with them until the last job I called them for. I purchased a toilet from them that promised to flush a washcloth down it. Guess what? It got clogged by a number 2. I also had an emergency going on where the toilet overflowed out of the tank and bowl so there was some flooding and $30,000 worth of damage to my home because of this. I immediately called my home owners and W.C Brad Borchelt. They sent a plumber out and he used an auger. After that so much was going on that Servpro was there and they pulled the toilet immediately after. It was set aside and covered. With so much going on i didn't think to go look inside my pulled toilet. Apparently the plumber scratched up the bowl pretty good with his auger. These are auger swirl marks. He never put a protective sleeve on the tip. Fast forward to 4 months later my home is getting put back together. The toilet goes back in and I see the auger damage. No one else put anything down into the toilet. It was the auger responsibe for these scratches. Hey but Brad the owner doesn't want to make it right. I paid $235 for them to unclog the advertised UNCLOGABLE toilet and Apparently I got more than an unclogging with unsightly scratches that he refuses to admit was his plumber. I personally am done with this company. Dishonest at most when there is a problem. Would definitely NOT recommend!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Auburn, IN

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.
