"Jeff Feldhaus just finished remodeling a bathroom for us and we couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the work, the professionalism he and Phil displayed, the communication, partnership and the overall job was great. Everyday they left the job site neat and clean. They showed up when they said and kept us informed. I will definitely use them again. The bathroom looks awesome. Greg Fahnestock"

"Ivan went above and beyond renovating our basement giving it a modern look, from putting up walls and a drop ceiling and lighting and attention to detail I have to give him a 10/10. Definitely recommend for anything needed in your home"

"Coldstream did a beautiful job remodeling my 80+ year old garage. My garage was in need of a new custom size door and framing to hang the door, as well as, framing around the door. Marty suggested installing flooring over the new joist to create additional storage. Because of Covid, the estimated wait for the new door was 6 weeks. It took much longer then 6 weeks to manufacture, but Marty called me several times during the delay to update me on the progress. I really did appreciate how informed he kept me. Marty and his crew did a great job, and I could not be happier with the project."

"Bryan and his team were wonderful! We truly could not have had a better experience. Throughout our remodel he had extremely clear communication and was always prompt, approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly. The actual construction process was efficient and the quality of work was great. I would absolutely turn to Bryan and his team for future projects."

"Everything from quote to finished basement went very well thanks to our on-site project manager Nate and the owner Chris. Once the project started Nate was very communicative about the basement layout and as the work progressed we talked each day to make sure everything was coming together well. Nate and his team were very skilled and accommodated many customizations in our Entertainment room and gym. I would highly recommend Remark Construction for any type of remodel. Our basement build out was larger than normal and the team was very organized and handled all challenges to create a wonderful space for our family to enjoy for years."

"We were in a bind a month and half ago when we needed to have a wheelchair accessible ramp installed to the front porch of our house. After numerous frantic phone calls , Tim stepped in to help out. His crew had the job done in inclement weather to our complete and utter amazement. Kudos to a job well done. We definitely recomend them for any home care needs."

"Rodney's Home Improvement just finished remodeling my basement. They did an excellent job and I absolutely love it. Although, I had other contractors come to my home and give me estimates I just felt a sincere connection with Rodney and Teresa. Rodney made suggestions on things that I should do with my basement. One suggestion that he made that I like was instead of carpet he suggested that I use vinyl flooring. So glad that I went with his suggestion. Rodney and his crew were always on time, very professional and the nicest people you would ever meet. I can't  say enough about Rod's Home Improvement. I am planning a kitchen remodel and I will definitely be calling Rodney's Home Improvement to do the job!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Covington, KY

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.
