They contacted us quickly with an estimate, and responded promptly during the job. Very professional and courteous, on time, cleaned up every day. They were meticulous with their work and their crew finished efficiently. We are very happy with the work they did and would hire them again. Highly recommend them"

Customers say: Quick response

"I do not have enough good things to say about Jim and Lori from Elite Builders. They often joke that you become a member of their family once you hire them for a job. However, they're not joking. It's true! I hired Elite Builders approximately six months ago for a kitchen remodel that involved sanding and refinishing of my existing kitchen cabinets, installation of new quartz countertops, and installation of a new faucet and sink. Lori responded promptly to our Home Advisor request and put together an estimate that was fair and reasonable. Throughout the kitchen remodel, Jim and Lori responded promptly to my texts and phone calls--including at night and on weekends. They did everything that they promised to do when they promised to do it. They made the entire process easy. I could not be happier with the end result. My respect for Jim and Lori only grew when I experienced a roof leak a few weeks ago. The morning after I texted Lori a video of water pouring into our attic, Jim and his assistant Chris were at my door ready to fix the leak. It is this amazing customer service that will keep me coming back to Elite Builders for all of my home improvement needs."

"Harrop & Son Remodeling is by far the best construction company I have had the pleasure of hiring. We were hiring for a complete basement remodel and the owner, Tom, called immediately after submitting our inquiry to Home Advisor. Harrop & Son was 1 of 3 companies to give us a quote and they landed well ahead of the competition. Tom was professional, very detailed in his quote, and was extremely knowledgeable about his craft. Honesty was a big reason I hired Harrop & Son. While the competition was ridiculously over pricing the job and looking to take advantage, Tom came in and provided me with an honest quote that was half the price of the competition but afforded double the square footage and a full bathroom, which had been out of the question for the other companies. It was clear that Tom really cared about getting you excellent value for your money. They started right on time and they blew me away with how professional and courteous they were from day 1. They made excellent use of their time and I never saw any of the crew not working. The Foreman, Rick, was excellent and I had complete confidence that when Tom was off site, Rick had everything under control. From the owner down to the sub contractors, everyone was extremely professional and did excellent work. The work completed by Harrop & Son is beyond exceptional. They truly are masters of their craft. They were very detailed in their work and anything they touched had maximum effort put into it. Very little changes were made throughout the process, but for the ones that were, Tom was extremely welcoming and was always 1 step ahead. The whole remodel was kept within the quoted price and the work completed far exceeded my expectations. We couldn't be happier with Tom, his crew, and the remodel they completed for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Harrop & Son Remodeling to anyone I come across looking for home renovations. We have a few other home renovations planned for the near future and I will not hesitate to contact Tom to have them back."

"Recently had annual maintenance performed on our basement sump pump system . Louie our tech was courteous, on time and tidy. Would highly recommend this company if you have a basement water problem. We've had our system for at least 15 years and never a drop of water in basement!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Charlestown, RI

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.
