"They were recommended by the plumber that found a leak in the toilet. They came out and removed the wet drywall and flooring and left 4 fans for 4 days. When they left a large hole in the floor remained along with the open sewer line. They said they would send a person out in a couple of days to go over the flooring. They didn't. I called to get the whole in my floor plunged up. It had been open for a week. They came and fixed it but left the sewer line open. It was open for two weeks with a bad smell and the fumes made us sick. I called the plumber out to see what the smell was. He said your sewer line is open and plugged it up. A total of 5 people came out and did nothing from Dry Star. Even the plumber called them to complain. To replace the floor and drywall took 2 and a half months. We used insurance on this and I had to keep telling them the insurance wasn't getting the information they said they sent. When I send a copy it was approved shortly after waiting for 3 weeks. Meanwhile they wouldn't move forward even after I said you left the sewer line open for 2 weeks making us sick. They didn't follow up and refused to do anything until I paid them. I never got an amount from to pay for about 6 weeks. I told them I received approval from insurance and let's get going. I could have sooner if they had told me an amount. After the work was finally completed. I said how are you going to compensate me for the delays and screw ups. They said they would deduct the bill for one hour of time from the plumber, I had sent a copy. I said you did nothing to speed this up and you should offer something to compensate for making us sick from the sewer gas. They refused. 10 weeks without a bathroom and allowing us to have dangerous sewer gas for over 2 weeks. Don't use this company they aren't interested in the customer even when they screw up."

"After meeting with Kathy Nieto, we really hit it off. She offered ideas, adopted our ideas, and is great to work with. It was a real collaborative effort. When minor issues came up during the project, they were listened to and corrected. The team is incredibly responsive. In terms of budget, we did not want contractor grade, we wanted solid high/mid-range specifications. We made significant changes to our budget, primarily due to changes that we requested as we went, but even with adjustments along the way, we felt it was worth it. You get what you pay for! Nick and the field staff were fabulous. Their craftsmanship shows, they really pay attention to detail and have a great deal of pride in their work. The results exceeded our expectations! They listened extremely well and couldn’t be more helpful and so easy to work with. We highly recommend Interior Trends Remodel & Design and will certainly go back to them for future projects."

"Dawid was very quick to contact me after I inquired on Angie’s list. He was also very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. Was able to work with our tight schedule and even fixed some of the countertop prep work the crew Home Depot brought in to prepare for new countertops. The backsplash looks great and I would highly recommended him for any home improvement work."

We have been building custom homes and performing all types of remodeling projects in Tucson since 1984. We have 2 employees and use subcontractors, but you deal directly with the owner. We are licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, #259884, KB-02 Residential and Commercial General Contractor.\n\nWe provide free estimates. We employ a 2-step estimating process: 1) We provide a free rough estimate based on the initial interview and site visit, and, if you find this estimate acceptable, 2) We provide a free firm price proposal based on the design documents and product selections. Prior to signing the firm price proposal and contract, we charge you nothing for the estimate and proposal process - you pay only for any outside direct costs such as third party designer or architect costs, if any, third party engineering costs, if any, and any 3rd party reproduction costs.\n\nWe are now installing photovoltaic solar panels for some of our construction clients. It's gratifying to be producing electricity with no moving parts while shading a portion of your roof. We are a Tucson business and we buy solar panels and racking hardware built right here in Tucson. We do not ship our parts in from China.\n\nWe look forward to serving you. We are totally committed to making sure that each and every client is happy with the service that they receive from Valley Development. Give us a call - the owner will answer the phone. :)\n\nBest Regards,\n\nBob

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cortaro, AZ

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.
