"Joe did a fantastic job for us! Honest pricing, and straight forward. He was on time, and dedicated to getting the job done for us. I have not had a better experience with a contractor. He was also very patient with my wife and I going through the decision process during our basement finish. Finished better than I could have imagined."

"Chris and his team are hands down the best general contractors in southern Ohio. I hired him to do a total remodel in 2025, on a house that I purchased to flip. He was quick, efficient, and his quote was excellent. I’m a real estate broker and I’m picky about who I hire. I would not use anyone else and I will definitely hire him again."

"I feel lucky McNeal Construction was the first company to respond in Angi. There was some structural damage due to termites and Matthew of McNeal's did an excellent job of repairing the structure and designing and remodeling the bathroom. I'd like to leave photos but don't see anywhere to do that."

"Jamie and Brad painted the interior of our entire 4 bedroom house. The job was big, but was finished in 5 days. They were here promptly at the time they stated they would be on all 5 days and worked 8 hours each day to complete the job in a timely manner. They did a great job and also offered to do other work needed in our home at very reasonable prices. We will call on Jamie/J E Construction for future work on our home as they do it all! Iâ m a pretty picky person but I highly recommend! ð ð ¼ð ð ¼"

"It went smoothly exactly as Paul described the job. His crew installed a sump pump and ensured in drained to the curb. The crew replaced the drain run to the curb and dug around the existing bushes. The crew also connected the the roof downspout to the run to the curb.The crew installed a perforated pipe in a trench which created a floating basement floor on 3 sides of the basement. (the 4th wall was not necessary since was an interior wall.) They concreted over the pipe with a gap to the wall. they repaired and painted the basement walls."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Chillicothe, OH

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.
