"Groundworksâ listened to our input and throughly evaluated the requirements to support the basement walls and prevent water from coming in. They were on time and communicated clearly and timely. The Foreman did an evaluation and recommended a couple changes to the plan that I agreed with and weâ re beneficial. The 3 workers knew what they were doing and worked hard. I appreciate the manner they communicated and they were very friendly. Overall, they did a great job!"

Small jobs welcome

I have spent the last four years remodeling and constructing new buildings, working for other companies such as Hausmann Construction and Samsung Construction—including on the renovation of the football stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. I have carried out renovations of churches and schools, as well as basements, garages, bathrooms, and kitchens. Now, I have established my own company, and I am ready to apply all my expertise to grow my business.

"The work went awesome. Frank was always quick to respond to phone calls and requests. He went out of his way to get us moved up in the schedule and even did weekend work to get this one completed in a timely manner. They took great care in setting up and getting all areas well covered and protected from dust. The work was completed in a quick manner and was extremely high quality. Would recommend to anyone."

"We were very happy with the results. The work really transformed the appearance of our home interior. Dates for work were agreed upon and kept. Phone calls were always returned promptly. This company will probably not be the cheapest, but it will be one of the best groups with which to work. They will help with ideas and will deliver great work with a minimum of hassle."

"We first had them come out and finish our basement and add a bathroom. They were the lowest price, which actually concerned us a little, but we'd heard good things about them so had them do the work. During the estimate the contractor and a design/scheduling person came out. It was great because we got ideas from the design person, who also makes sure that everyone is where they are to be when they need to be there. The work was done and done right. Mahris does a good job of making sure the subs they use know what they're doing and are professional. We were pleased with the basement, so had them come back and do the family room and upper level bathroom. The work took a little longer than we would have liked, but based on quality and how easy they were to work with it was well worth the extra time. <br />"

"After reading reviews on Angie's List we had a concern about Bower Construction because of the single F grade he received (though that grade is because of inability to connect, not any performance issue on the job). When I called to set up a meeting to look at the job, he was able to come within 2 hours, in the afternoon. Provided us with an estimate that was over $400 less than anyone else we had over for an estimate. <br /> We scheduled the start time for a week later, but just before the weekend he called and said he got an opening over the weekend and can come early. He came over with his employee and started on it on Saturday. Worked very well, kept the area clean and left it spotless when done two days later. <br /> We actually remembered, after the estimate was given, but before the work started that we actually have another side of the wall that we need done (bare drywall that we put up). That was added and the work done on it with no problem at all, and no extra charge. <br /> We will definitely hire him again. We paid him today and asked him for another estimate on some more work around the house. <br /> Very friendly, responsive, and professional. <br /> Highly recommended! <br /> <br />"

"The phone response and scheduling were fast. The technician was courteous and hard-working, very professional. He worked efficiently and prepped carpet heavy soil spots for better machine cleaning. He used protective equipment and stayed on site to eat his lunch managing his time on the job. We are VERY happy."

"<strong><em>We attempted to obtain bids from two other local  providers and didn't even receive return phone calls from them.  After obtaining Terry's name from Angie's List, we telephoned Terry and he was in our home within the hour to give us an estimate.  The estimate was somewhat broad as it was not possible to determine how difficult it would be to remove the old wood flooring that had been glued to the cement slab in our kitchen-dining area. He gave us several flooring options and even assisted us at Lowe's to select appropriate material.<br /> When it was time to start the work, Terry appeared promptly when he said he would.  He removed the old flooring, which was difficult, but worked very quickly and efficiently. The following day, he again appeared promptly and commenced installation of the new floating Pergo flooring.  He again worked quickly and was able to bring in an associate to handle a plumbing item when that became necessary.  He knows a variety of workmen in the area and has the ability to get things done.<br /> Terry was truly professional in his manner and workmanship and we are thrilled with the results.  He was very fair in his pricing and the job came in considerably under estimate.  We would have no hesitation in referring him to friends and neighbors as he truly "delivers".  We have another project pending and he will definitely be our first contact when we are ready to proceed.  Thanks to Terry and to Angie's List for the recommendation! </em></strong> <br />"

"Jim and his crew were very responsive to our needs. We were limited in time due to selling. He was able to look, make a real assessment of what was needed and was reasonable with the bid. His crew made time for us within a few days and had the deck in great shape. We were able to continue down the path with our seller. I couldn't ask for better. Someone who is fair, honest, and can fix when you don't want to replace. Awesome!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Ceresco, NE

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.
