Luis Rodriguez owner and founder of RW Construction began working in the construction industry in 2002. In 2018 he founded RW Construction focusing on windows and doors. Over the years customers were left extremely satisfied with his craftmanship and would inquiry about remodeling projects. As time went on we realized that many of our customers had the same complaints of past contractors. From never showing up to asking for advances on work and disappearing half way through. Seeing this common occurrence we decided to start offering interior and exterior remodeling services. With his expertise of over 20 years and the help of his daughter and son in-law they have begun to offer customers quality work they can trust will get done on time and be REALLY WELL done.

"Luis and Raul are great to work with. Iâ ve hired them for multiple large projects. They are talented and provide quality work at a fair price. I will continue to use their services. In the construction business it can be difficult to find contractors you can trust. They are men of their word and want to make sure their clients are happy and satisfied with their work."

"Andy's crew is very professional and did a great job. My home was difficult to get drywall into. They carried each sheet upstairs. Walls finished very well. Dedicated spray equipment created smooth application of knock down texture. Ceilings Looks great. No damage. No surprises. Priced right, but they weren't the cheapest option. On time. No excuses. They protected my property and cleaned up after themselves. As a property manager, I will definitely use Scott's again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Colfax, IA

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.
