"We had An exceptional experience with Remark. From the beginning - Chris was very responsive, professional and transparent about the work and pricing. Once the projects started, Jeff and the guys were great. Communication and collaboration every step of the way throughout the project. We utilized Remark for 4 projects which were complete over the course of 12 weeks; basement finishing, bathroom remodel, fireplace wall feature and stair rail spindle replacement. We were extremely pleased with each project. So often you hear the horror stories of contracting companies who will start a job and leave for an extended period of time before they come back. Throughout the 4 projects, there was work being done every week - and just about every day. I would highly recommend Remark for any remodel needs and we will definitely be utilizing them in the future for any other projects."

"Jeff and Corey accomplished all requests, despite the difficulty of old post removal despite heavy roots, rock retaining wall, poured concrete patio, and garage foundation. Both are very personable and easy to communicate with. Extremely pleased with the end result."

"F6 Builders completed a full basement remodel for us and added a bathroom where there wasn?t one before. They helped guide us through the layout, finishes, and budget, and the final result exceeded our expectations. The team was respectful of our home, kept the job site clean, and always let us know what to expect next. It?s obvious they care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. We?d gladly hire them again for future projects."

"Joe removed an old wood ramp and replaced with a longer one. This was done at my mothers house. It really turned out nice. They were very pleased with the new ramp as was I. He completed in just 1 day."

"After the hard rains a few months back our basement flooded. It was a mess. All of the furniture, carpet, drywall everything wet. Insurance dealt directly with the company saved me a lot of headaches. I can say they exceeded my expectations. Very reliable, helpful. They came out the same day I called and finished the job in record time. I highly recommend."

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.
