"Everything was done in a timely manner, areas were left clean everyday and Miguel Martinez always communicated with us every step of the way. We love our new bathrooms. They took both bathrooms down to the studs, replaced the bathtub and fully tiled the tub area and the wall behind the vanity and installed vanities, mirrors, lighting and exhaust fans. In our bathroom, they removed a fiberglass insert shower and rebuilt a fully tiled shower with a bench and two niches. We would highly recommend Miguel Martinez and Smart Flooring and remodeling solutions. P.S. - During our remodeling we found some water damage to our outside wall, Miguel was able to connect us with a crew that could make the repairs we needed. All his crew were great and we really appreciate all their work. THANK YOU!"

"I needed a shower door and grab bars installed. Other companies would not do the work unless a complete remodel. Cransten was fair, and matched my job with Scott Bowers. He went over and beyond to see the work was completed; even after Lowes had ordered the wrong materials for my project. Would definitely use again."

"First and foremost, it was important that the project was to be finished by a certain date; The builder met the deadline. <br /> He and his crew were respectful, professional and detail oriented. the project required specified architectural details not often seen in new housing. One challenge was the matching of the exterior with the original structure, a challenge they met superbly. The builder also found solutions for unusual structural challenges such as a hidden steel support beam and an unusual roof structure."

"The project went great!!! Hayden the general contractor was wonderful. He updated me each and every step of the process and always kept true to his word on cost, timeframe, and etc. I always felt I was in good and trustworthy hands as he and his team worked on each aspect of my garage conversion. He made sure each inspector who came for each area, mechanical, electrical, framing, insulation, and final were all handled efficiently and each one passed on the first try and I was even told by the inspector that they wished every inspection they did went as smoothly. If you need any project done, I highly recommend H&P general contracting. I will do any and all future home projects through Hayden and his company going forward. He definitely gets a 100 star rating from me."

"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."

"the remodel of house in 2007 was excellent with a lot of imagination and creativity in adding space and functionality, as well as an appealing appearance. Only reservation was some details of finish painting and final clean up, but most satisfied with quality, timeliness and design of work. Added bath in 2010 was a challenge in design and construction but was well done with adjustments as needed during the project. It was done in a timely manner with all details well finished. We will use JFK again in future."

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.
