"The work was completed in a timely manner and exceeded our expectations. We are extremely happy with our fireplace remodel. It completely changed the look and feel of our living room"
An idea of how you can turn a vaulted ceiling into a cool and useable space.
This used to be a dark and dirty attic. Conversions like this can be a great way to add square footage. With structural changes being one of our strengths, we can show you how to maximize your
space.
Lighting can transform any space into something magical.
Why be normal? Wall tile and a hexagonal stain glass window created an awesome mood for this homeowner.
Herringbone mosaic is very time consuming, but the results are worth it.

"We hired Superior General Contracting company for our kitchen project, and we would highly recommend them. This is the second time we?ve worked with them because they are so reliable and consistent. They were there for us from start to finish. Skyler stayed on top of everything throughout the kitchen renovation and supervised the work closely. Skyler and Flynt maintained constant communication with us, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They made what could have been a difficult project feel easy and well-managed. Also Their crew did an amazing job. Definitely, this is a company that I would highly recommend to anyone needing a home project done?no matter how big or small."

"I hired Best Austin to remove a wall as well as relocate appliance outlets. Once they started doing the work, the subcontractors did a great job. Communication was good. Occasionally I had to speak with the project manager or subcontractor to discuss with him change orders and other details. The contract took a bit longer than we expected but we enjoy the new layout of our new home."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Austin, TX

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.
