Charlie has great attention to detail in planning the remodel, and he & Jared work closely together to make sure work is completed as promised! They are also great at answering questions and providing service after completion, as well!"

"I've used cransten for two major projects now, first a partial basement finish and now installing built-in shelves and fireplace in my living room. Super super easy to work with, reasonably priced, the contractors they send out are communicative and professional. I can't say enough great things. I'll be back again when I'm ready for the rest of the basement to be finished."

"Fred Katz, the owner of JFK Construction responded promptly to my request for a proposal.  He took the time to listen to our plans for the project and added several suggestions to improve the design and facilitate the construction process. His price was slightly higher than the other two proposals we received but we selected JFK based on several factors.  These included 1) his estimated time for completion to be 2-3 weeks, 2) the fact that the project would be permitted and inspected, and also, 3) that JFK had previously performed reasonably well in the remodeling of our kitchen.
Once, we signed the contract Fred and his employees were on site within a few days to begin the work and he and his men repaired the exterior siding and removed and replaced the deck within a couple of weeks as planned.  This repair work and the new deck look great and we are very pleased with the outcome in this area. The problems began with the introduction of his sub contractors who were responsible for the electrical, plumbing, gas and masonry work.  It is understandable that contractors are simultaneously working on several projects and our project can not always be their top priority.  However, the repeated delays we have experienced indicate that either the subs have too many project in-process or our project is so small that it slips off their radar and goes unnoticed.
We signed the contract with JFK on October 5, 2013 and as of today November 9, 2013 the project is still not complete.  The subs responsible for the gas and masonry haven't completed their work.  In fact this past week of Nov. 4 through Nov. 8 no one from either JFK or any of his subs were onsite working on our project.  When asked about the project yesterday Fred expressed frustration that his subs were not able to complete our project but could not commit to a specific date when they would return to finish the job.
The project was completed on Dec. 20, 2013 and we are very pleased with the final outcome.  Weather was one factor in some of the delays.

"KP Builders came highly recommended by some friends who had work done at their home. Prior to signing the contract with KPB the owner of the company also arranged for a visit to a home where he had recently undertaken a full renovation of the basement. The initial discussions centered around our vision for the basement, the must haves, the nice to haves and the basic flow for the basement. The owner Alpesh is very easy to work with and fully understood the direction and design concept we were looking for. Budget discussions gave him an idea on the freedom of design he would have. His great understanding on the use of space and options to creatively use this space allowed him to take our ideas, improve upon this and detail a better solution that would work for us. Drawings were rendered based on our discussions with suggestions from Alpesh on how best to utilize the space and maximize the return on our investment. the different options on heating and cooling were discussed at length and the final layout agreed upon. Once we all agreed on design and budget, contracts signed and work began in earnest. The communications from KPB at all phases was excellent and meetings held regularly on progress. Sub contractors used on all phases were extremely professional and it was very pleasing to note that they cleaned up daily when they left the premises. Everyone took great pride in their work and their deliveries. As Alpesh understood the final look we were looking for his suggestions on lighting, cabinets, plumbing fixtures etc. were always on the mark. During this work my wife impressed with what was being done in the basement added more work for KPB to undertake in the Kitchen and family room of our home with some additional remodeling. Alpesh arranged for this work to be done during the basement phase. The work was completed very professionally, inspectors did not find reason to not sign off and we have been extremely pleased with the end result. Highly recommend KP Builders for remodeling work."

"Perfect! Joe and his crew were excellent to work with. Our space presented some unique challenges, but they handled everything very well. I’d absolutely hire them for another remodel project."

"We had our master bathroom and two spare bathrooms redone and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! Everything looks amazing and it was such a huge difference from before. Everyone was great to work with and easy to communicate with. We are looking at getting our kitchen remodeled in a few months and they will be who we call."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Charlotte, NC

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.
