"I had a great experience working with Emerald remodeling to redo the bathroom and layout in the basement of our home. They came highly recommended from a friend and delivered a significantly lower bid from other estimates from both a cost and timeline standpoint. Throughout the process, the owner was very patient with our queries and was a great communicator, often responding quickly to our questions and helping us through any changes in direction the project needed. The end result was exactly the basement bathroom setup we needed for our family. I could not recommend Emerald Remodeling enough, and will certainly work with them on any future projects. Thank you!"

"The remodeling went very well. It was completed on the day it was promised. The quality of work is very good. Now I don't have to worry that there maybe water leak on the wall. Ariel was here everyday to oversee the work; his crews are very professional."

"Both jobs were done exceptionally well with great attention to detail. He and his crew were professional and courteous. The job was completed on the day they said it would be done, even a little sooner. Will definitely hire again for our next project."

"AWESOME. David is the best contractor I know, and I have used many over the years. He is transparent on pricing and effort involved and works hard to get the job done on schedule. His attention to detail is top-notch. In most cases, he is more detailed than me. He is knowledgeable in nearly all aspects of the job, and if he doesn't, he finds the answer. He is approachable, easy to work with, prompt, and always looking to make the customer happy. Work included concrete slab, electrical, footings, assembly of the shed, service door & painting, landscaping (grading, sod), and crushed rock driveway. He put in OSD sheathing on the interior and also a workbench and a robust shelving system. This is the second time I've used David. First time was to finish a basement. David will be getting all future work I have, and I am already getting some more projects lined up for him. Looking forward to the next project. Warning: do not brag about cold weather camping unless you've been below -40 F. He trounced my measly -12 F camping tale."

"They arrived on time and got right to work. Both were personality plus. Very professional and knew the job to be done. Cleaned both inside and outside areas like they weren't even here. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Office manager was also most helpful with questions I had."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cedar, 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.
