"Finding a capable and reliable contractor is not easy. When we decided to remodel two bathrooms, no one we asked could give a strong recommendation for any previous contractor. We had postponed these projects for years, simply because we dreaded another â bad contractorâ experience. Thatâ s why itâ s so rewarding for us for us to report that Pegasus is the contractor weâ ve been looking for. Kudos to Walter for building and leading an up and coming young company that compares favorably against more established firms. They were responsive to our requests, provided timely communication and were actually fun to work with. They were extremely respectful of our home and performed a thorough clean up at the end of every work day. Every project inevitably encounters challenges along the way and ours was no different. But we donâ t judge others by mistakes made, we judge them by how they solve problems. In every instance, Pegasus resolved stumbling blocks quickly, graciously and with professionalism. As a result, our experience was painless and the finished bathrooms are a showcase of quality work we are proud to share with others. We now have a company we can confidently recommend to others."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Damascus, MD

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.
