"Very well. Tristan was professional, prompt, and polite. He understood immediately our need to have a way to get down basement stairs safely. I am 80. My husband is 84, a Vietnam veteran with Parkinson's and terrible back pain. Tristan installed grab bars at top of stairs. He also cleaned up afterward!! It's been only two days, but the bars have been a big help already. Our children, who all live in other states, are happy knowing we are safer, thanks to Home Project Relief."
Final look after install.  Came out looking great!

"We highly recommend Kramer Custom Remodels. They are excellent, 5 stars all the way. We retained their services for several major, high-end projects at our home. We remodeled our en suite bathroom to create a glamour bathroom, remodeled our kitchen to create a gourmet kitchen and we had them prepare our house before we listed it for sale. Each major project was done on time and within the budget and the finished projects exceeded our expectations. We truly loved and had great pride in our home after they had finished. They and their crew were quiet, neat and prompt. In addition to being skilled, we really appreciated that they spent so much time planning with us before each project started so that we could make our remodeling dreams come true. Their knowledge of current trends and timeless beauty and their ability to bring our visions to life made each major remodel a pleasure. 2016- Bathroom Remodel: new tile shower with glass doors, new granite counter, new sinks, laundry area, cabinets, new tile flooring, painted walls, new lights and fixtures 2018- Kitchen Remodel- expanded entryway, added large pantry, granite and stainless steel sink; refinished and restained hardwood floor, all new soft-close cabinets, large island with granite and large stainless steel sink. Designed and built bespoke bar area with lighting, granite and marble- truly a focal point of the kitchen. New stove hood, lights and fixtures. 2021- What a relief it was to have Kramer Custom Remodels prepare our house for sale. They advised us how we could make our home look its best for buyers. They painted every room, the basement, ordered carpet, and added modern light fixtures, and made our home a showplace. We also used Kramer Custom Remodels for all our landscaping needs, through the years."

"Frank and his team do exquisite work. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship display the high standards of construction work the company is able to perform. For over two years Frank (and Steve) have more than delivered and in truly remarkable ways. Each project is a work of art: from the replacement of windows and doors to upgrading the porch, entryway, and the balcony to the repair of damaged stairs and downspouts to the complete remodeling of the basement, to name a few! He has transformed our house into something beautiful and extraordinary while mercifully keeping our budget in mind! From the outset, Frank listened and incorporated our desires. He gave helpful suggestions and executed them far better than we had proposed. We are very satisfied clients and recommend him highly for home improvement projects both big and small. Frank is a master when it comes to construction projects, honest, capable, and a fine gentleman, to boot! We cannot praise him enough!"

"AJ and his crew did a fabulous job adding a new bathroom and bonus room in the unfinished half of our basement. AJ is very communicative, thorough, detailed in his work and we couldnâ t be happier with how the space turned out. Highly recommend and will be using him again for future home projects!"

"Dover completely remodeled our master bathroom. New tile, fixtures, and light in shower. New custom vanity with a cabinet on the counter to hide the cords from devices like hair dryers and beard trimmers. New tile floor. Moved the existing door opening slightly and installed a barn door, New light fixture and fan. New drywall, new subfloor, and replaced some uneven framing in the ceiling. It looks great and we are very happy with the way it turned out."
The sunporch easily accommodates both outdoor conversation seating and dining sets. Finishing the comfortable indoor/outdoor living space, electrical wiring provides power for the ceiling fan and can lights above, with additional outlets for a TV, speakers and other items—everything the homeowners need to enjoy a fresh, inviting living area.
The sunporch addition was designed for easy living at every touchpoint: Sturdy, lightweight framing materials create the gabled roof and side panel construction, including maintenance-free aluminum posts capped in vinyl, so there’s no paint to touch up or chipping to worry about long-term.
Because the homeowners wanted an unobstructed view and ventilation for their firepit table, screens are run from floor to ceiling along the walls. Added screened entry doors on both sides provide easy access to the room from the yard and adjoining patio.
The new sunporch is a large, open-air living space (11' x 14') with floor-to-ceiling screened panels for excellent ventilation and unrestricted views with a full room for protection.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cleveland, 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.
