"Daniel and his crew did a good job planning and completing the project of adding 500 sq ft to the back of my house. That included demolition of back porch and fireplace, expanding the living room, primary bedroom, primary bathroom and large walk-in closet. We worked well together in the design and execution of my dream home. The best way to communicate with Daniel is by text. "

"Jesse was always on time. After I requested a quote he quickly came and provided a very fair quote. The work was scheduled timely and at my convenience. Jesse did a great job repairing our drywall, some required major demo and replacement. He was able to match the texture of the surrounding areas. Great job! Definitely recommend and will use JWE constructs for future projects!"

"I can't give enough praise for the work that was done. Work was done in a timely manner and showed up when they said they would. Cleaned up after and I am so pleased with the results. I already had a neighbor interested after looking at the work. I will definitely call ERG construction again should I need any work to be done."

"Raul and his crew did a great job of installing new kitchen countertops and backsplash and redoing our large master bathroom shower. We had quarts installed and they clearly knew what they were doing. Maria coordinated the business side of the jobs and she was also great to deal with. She was also good in keeping us informed as to when the crew would be showing up. They brought in Mario, tile guy, and Oscar, plumber, and they also were very nice to work with. We would and will bring Raul back to perform work at the house."

"Chris/CVM Carpentry did a great job converting a closet to a pantry. He took time to help me think through each step of the process, and made practical suggestions that helped give me what I wanted. He was punctual, fairly priced and I felt very comfortable working with him. Would definitely hire again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cedar Crest, NM

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.
