"John installed crown and base molding throughout entire kitchen. He drywalled areas where walls had been removed and arches expanded. He was very efficient, professional, and completed the job as agreed on time and within budget. We will use him in the future for other remodeling projects!"

"I had planned on finishing our basement myself. Matrix completed a basement for my neighbor so we called for a design/estimate, I am glad we did they were professional, courteous and made themselves welcome guests in our home. They utilized the window wells to move materials as well as come-and-go, so there was minimal distractions to our day. My wife works from home and they were no bother. We were impressed with the materials they used and appreciated their design ideas. We were also able to negotiate items for us to complete to help lower the total cost. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to remodel their basement."

"We had Shire Group work on a remodel of a new office for us. They removed walls, framed in new doorways, and, in an ample space, created five new offices from the ground up. They asked questions that we never would have thought of. After completing the project, many visitors asked about their work besides the new offices. This shows how detailed they were; people could not tell new trim from old trim, removed doorways, moved light switches, and turned an old mailroom into extra space in our kitchen."

"After a major flood completely destroyed my basement, I wasn’t sure it would ever look the same again. The carpet, baseboards, and drywall all had to be replaced, and even one of the windows needed to be reinforced. From start to finish, he did an exceptional job. His craftsmanship was outstanding, he worked efficiently, and his attention to detail was evident in every part of the project. My basement honestly looks better than it ever did before the flood. It’s beautiful, solid, and feels like a brand-new space. I’m incredibly grateful for his professionalism, hard work, and dedication to doing the job right. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for high-quality workmanship. Thank you for bringing my basement back to life!"

"Our basement was previously finished in the 1970's, but the quality of the work was not good. We ripped everything out and hired Mark to remodel it. The project included adding an egress window, a 3/4 bath (no plumbing previously), a kitchenette, and an electric fireplace. We couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Mark offered thoughtful guidance and suggestions throughout the process, and he also gave tips for some of our other home improvement projects that were not involved in this one! The price I listed was for the entire project, not just for Mark's carpentry services."

"About two years ago, the KBS team (including Alberto and Elizabeth) completed a remodel of our house to accommodate a family member with disabilities. They were fantastic: excellent communication, attention to detail, recommendations and project coordination. Super responsive and friendly, too! We are so happy with the results and had a really positive experience in the planning and remodel itself."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cross Plains, WI

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.
