My name is Mark Schwebach. I am the owner of Complete Handyman as a division of Dream Homes LLC. I founded the company in 2004. I am 100% involved with day to day activities. I specialize in finishing basements. When it comes to basements, I will be involved in every aspect of the job. I will be hands on from the initial design process, the bidding process, acquiring permits, doing the actual construction, overseeing sub-contractors, through to the completion of the finished basement. I personally guarantee the highest level of attention to quality and detail throughout the entire project.

"Mark did an excellent job with finishing our basement, it turned out exactly how we wanted. What we liked most about Mark is that he is very trustworthy and honest. He is very open and transparent with all the costs . He also is very detailed and percise and his subcontractors were very good as well. We would highly reccomend Mark if you need to finish your basement!"

Since 2009, we’ve completed over 10,000 basement projects across Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin! Matrix Basement Finishing is proud to be ranked as the #1 basement finishing company in America, delivering premium quality and unmatched durability at an incredible value. Our advanced Forever Wall System is engineered to resist water, mold, and mildew, ensuring your finished basement stays beautiful and functional for years to come—something traditional materials simply can’t match. When you choose Matrix Basement Finishing, you’ll enjoy: - Flexible financing options backed by trusted national partners - A limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind - Comprehensive, all-in-one service so you’ll never need to work with a third party - Expert installation by professional installers and design consultants With Matrix Basement Finishing, you get an exceptional product, outstanding service, and a finished basement you’ll love for life.

"Matrix Basements used a bait-and-switch tactic on us. Their rep, Christopher Powers, promised a detailed ceiling paint job?including cleaning debris, taping off areas, and handling wiring. Based on that, we signed a contract. But during the plan review, the project manager said none of that was included and even claimed he?d never heard of it. We were told Matrix doesn't clean, doesn?t tape, and won?t touch any wiring. We'd have to prep everything ourselves?or live with overspray and debris being painted over. I asked to cancel the contract, but Matrix stopped responding. Now we?re stuck with an open contract, out a down payment, and no work done. They won?t reply or resolve it. Avoid Matrix Basements if you want honest, reliable service."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Madison, WI

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
