"I called a few places for quotes. The first person to get back to me was Eric from Vangoye Home Improvement. It turned out that I was outside of their service area, but Eric took the time to listen to what my problem was. He then gave me the names of the products I needed and the steps I could take to fix it myself, as the problem wasn't as big or difficult as I originally thought. Not only will I be able to knock out this project in a weekend, it ended up saving me close to $300."

"My service tech, Jordan Foy, called promptly in the morning and arrived right on schedule. He was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job installing my sump pump and the underground line. He made sure I approved of what he was going to do each step of the way. He was also very nice to my golden retriever puppy who wanted to be his assistant. I will be using Ayers Basement Systems again for additional work on my basement next spring."

"The technicians were friendly and nice.  They had to come back twice and they had no problems coming back the second time.  However, the solution didn't work and we’re still getting water in basement."

"Eric came out and did the estimate about a week and half before he and his partner came to preform the work.  He was prompt and very professional.  Most importantly he made me feel comfortable.  In the past when I had a builder or contractor out to give an estimate they have made me feel like I don't know what I am doing and/or talking about because I am a woman.  Eric never made me feel that way the whole time I worked with him.  We are getting ready to put our house for sale and we needed a few things done to our partially finished basement.  The previous owners tried to finish the basement their self and cut a few corners in doing so.  Eric suggested a few inexpensive ways to fix these issues and make the basement look like a million dollars.  We will SO use Innovative Builders in the future.  Thank you so much for your hard work and making our home look amazing! <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Dan Molnar tested me shortly after I messaged through Angie's list. Very courteous. Within a few days i had a quote that was better than I had expected. A little over 4 weeks later and everything is done and to a level of quality that honestly exceeded my expectations. The crew who did the concrete were polite and professional, the slab is smooth (they apologized for it not being better- the weather wasn't great but it looks perfect to me) and they cleaned up everything- including excess concrete piles. Their carpenter built custom doors for the previously unfinished and irregular entrance and they are of very good quality down to the hardware. I have dealt with many contractors before and without exaggeration this is the best company I have ever dealt with. I recommend them highly."

"It went well. The project as a whole took longer than anticipated due, in large part, to extremely damp and humid weather which directly affected the drywall and painting (and the floor install to a lesser degree). <br /> There were differences between Joe the plumber and Scott the contractor and the way they worked. Nothing major but my wife, who was the one here for the actual work, feels the differences were worth noting. Joe put a runner down across all carpeted areas between the outside and the actual work area. Scott and his assistant had to be reminded to wipe their feet. Scott's work cannot be faulted, the job looks great, his attention to those details that keep customers from pouting and squirming suffered from the comparison to Joe's methods. <br /> Joe and Scott do seem to make a good team. <br />"

"They did not protect the rest of my home at all. I became very sick from all the dust, had to pay to have ducts cleaned, and pay for whole house to be cleaned because I was too sick to do anything. I was promised 2 week .... it took 7. Kept pulling workers to go somewhere else. Also, through all the old paneling, etc in a pile in my back yard (mostly on patio) but also on my grass and burned the grass so I have a bare spot. Left all this until near the end and I complained a lot because I have 2 dogs who would walk on the pile .... with nails, etc. The room looks nice but was a total mess to get there. Would NEVER hire them again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Colon, MI

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.
