"The whole process went very well. From original purchase to installation, was professional and complete. We did have issues with the faucets that we purchased as they were not what we had expected as far as quality and functionality. We decided to just deal with the faucets as they were because it would be more hassle to change them than the trouble they created. <br />"

".Kenneth Husby is the owner of this company. He is a licensed contractor. He was referred to us.  He came in and checked everything out. Actually he went up on the roof too as we needed the roof to be repaired but he would not give us any guarantee because of the liability issues.  He thought that was pretty reasonable and that is why we went to a roofer. But he did the painting for us and some clean up stuff. He was good and did a good job. I would recommend him. Price wise he was reasonable. He was very responsive and came out real quick.  I would use him in the future."

"The project was done professionally from start to finish.  Took about a week including inspections and waiting for concrete footings to dry.Crews showed up on time, were personable and displayed pride in their work. They kept us informed about what was going on and asked us when there were options we might want input on. <br /> The job site was kept clean. They even put excess concrete in shovel-sized piles so they could remove them the next day. When a conflict arose with the concrete company, they volunteered to come in for a delivery at 4:30-5:00 am (in the dark!) to keep the project on track. <br /> Electrical conduit in the garage was installed unobtrusively. They upgraded the electrical panel without additional cost (even though that could have been an extra charge per the contract). The drywall removed during the upgrade was replace/repaired and even painted! (Looks better now than it did before.) <br /> The lead installer was a great supervisor...getting the best out of his crew with a coaching management style ensuring a happy staff while listening to their suggestions and honing their skills. We found that very impressive, probably contributing in no small part to the outstanding job. <br /> If forced to recommend how they could improve: Warranties and installation manual for inverter were a little slow in coming. <br /> We would recommend Urban Design Solar without reservation to anyone considering "going solar." <br />"

"It was a long haul.  Well over a month.  Dad ended staying with us because they had no bathroom.  Was told it would only be a couple of days without toilet end up being several weeks.  They were busy on other projects, so ended up at dads only a couple hours a day, some days not showing up when they said they would be there.  VERY FRUSTRATING, for dad.  But, the end product as I said was lovely. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Butte-city, CA

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.
