Customers say: Quality work

"Flooring itself was installed well. Trim was shoddy with globs of caulking left, walls patched poorly, door trim broken and left broken, transition strips were wrong for the floor and didn’t care to do it correctly. Couldn’t clean up after themselves and had little respect for personal property. I was told they would be able to set the toilet and that wasn’t the case. I had to call a plumber to fix it and In the process of going behind them to finish their job. They were rushed to get the job done to move on to the next."

"We had David Richards Home Improvement build us a basement bathroom from the the ground up. This included breaking up concrete and installing a drainage system for a toilet and shower. David and Ashley and the entire crew were great to work with. The bathroom looks great and is a fantastic addition to our home ! Gus and Jan"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Columbus, 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.
