"Everything went very well. My husband did the prep work they requested (removing paneling and drywall to 18 inches above the floor, cutting the wood studs to that level, and removing carpeting to six inches away from the wall). Two workers from Badger Basement came to our house and were completely done in only two hours. They jackhammered out the existing concrete slab, installed metal channels in the wall to drain any moisture out beyond the foundation, installed a sump pump in the room's closet, and poured fresh concrete to fill the new trench. All work done very professionally and thoroughly."

"Overall, it was pretty well. They put it in a middle of like it was really, really cold out. We have a siding in our home and the siding cracked in some spots. That was weather related. When they first put the door in, it had a scratch. They actually came and replaced the whole door. I would use them again."

"Waddell did an absolutely amazing job painting my basement and installing a utility sink in a new location for me (complete with filter and remote osmosis system). They’re thorough, do great work and very knowledgeable. I’m already planning to hire them again and 100% recommend them!"

"The crew is extremely friendly and very qualified. Unlike a lot of other crews, these have been together for years. They are not just summer hires. Their workmanship is without compare. The only problem is that they are expensive but the boss told us that outright. We found out later we could have gotten a much cheaper roof installed but it would have also been a lower grade shingle. <br /> So I guess you get what you pay for. We had one slight problem initially with the roof and they responded and fixed it promptly. <br /> Overall, you can not beat them for quality and superior workmanship - it is the price that hurts. <br />"

"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 Cashton, WI

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.
