"Great, we have no complaints... we would definitely recommend the company to our family and friends. When telling people we were getting our basement waterproofed and people were asking who was doing the basement... we heard nothing but good things about Complete Basement Systems!"

"Family business. Accommodated my schedule and diagnosed the problem quickly. (Many outlets weren't working in my house when I moved in.) Electrician and receptionist/scheduler were both great to work with. Prompt, efficient, and I think he left the work space cleaner than he found it."

"Overall, our experience with Central Home Improvements wa extremely positive. This was out first experience with a large-scale home remodeling project and we couldn't be happier with the results. <br /> <br /> Our estimate was completed in a timely manner, with a meeting to review the estimate and answer our questions. We were given advance notice before each of the three crews (roof, siding and gutters) arrived to our house to do any work. The roof was completed first and mid-way through the project, the crew accommodated our request to blow more insulation into the attic (this was not included in the original plan). As the roof project came to a close, the siding team arrived. They worked diligently, weather permitting, and even removed the extra and quot;oldand quot; siding tucked in our garage and a few other items that we didn't expect their help with. It was fun to come home each day and see the progress that had been made on the house! As the siding project wrapped up, the gutter team came to install the gutters and gutter guard. <br /> <br /> Each and every Central Home Improvement employee was friendly and professional. The work crews displayed great attention to detail and amazing craftsmanship. I enjoyed talking with them at each stage of the process; we could see that they took great pride in their work and were just as excited about the transformation of our house as we were. In addition, the clean-up at the end of every day was fantastic. With two dogs and a three year old son, I was worried about nails and other pieces of material on the ground. We never ran into any issues realted to clean-up, and the area around the house was immaculate at the end of the day with all needed supplies and materials neatly organized in the back yard. <br /> <br /> As our three year old son says, and quot;Mr. Art (the crew leader) made our house beautifuland quot; and we couldn't agree more. We' were so happy to have had such a good experience with this project and would definitely recommend Central Home Improvements to our friends!"

"We are doing a major remodel on our house. We shopped around for a suitable antique looking but modern kitchen. We decided upon granite countertops, and almond brush stained cabinets. We were recommended from a friend to use Tom to do the installation. Tom installed all of the cabinets and countertops. He was top notched and very detailed oriented. Everything was per the layout, and he brought any concerns up about the look of the final assembly to our attention to ensure it would meet our expectation. The walls on our old house varied by 1/2and quot; along the back of the counter. Rather than leaving a gap, Tom seamlessly fit the granite backsplashes to blend right into the wall. <br /> He also helped design and build a custom cabinet to fit in the corner that we could not purchase with the set. <br /> He did such excellent work, we asked Tom to do the trim work on the entire house. I don't have total lengths of trim, but it was on the order of about a 3000 feet of trim. He has such an eye for detail that he noticed that we bought two very similar chair rail trims (poplar vs pine), and the profile did not match up between the two (about 1/32and quot; off). I had to do a triple take to tell the difference. He did final touch up, and the house has never looked better. <br /> Finally, he worked on a custom oak stained and varnished wrapped column. <br /> Tom works efficiently and without supervision. He's honest and helpful, and wants the work to look its best. <br /> All around, I would recommend Tom for any remodel job. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Caledonia, MN

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.
