"Levcor has truly surpassed our expectations with its exceptional craftsmanship and commitment to bringing our vision of a dream kitchen to life. What began as a casual conversation a few years ago has now become a reality, thanks to their deep knowledge of kitchen functionality, and their ability to see what the end result can be throughout the design process. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication helped us make the most of our space and create a design we could never have imagined. Working alongside Mike Sawyer has been a remarkable experience. He perfectly balanced our aspirations with our budget, making the entire process seamless. Mike's guidance empowered us to explore various design options, reimagining our space while staying within our scope and budget. His foresight even saved us a significant amount on kitchen cabinet costs due to an impending 30% lumber price increase. Despite their extensive experience, Levcor maintains the warmth and attentiveness of a family-run business. Their genuine care and responsiveness echoed throughout every interaction and made us feel valued and understood at every stage of the project. Furthermore, the professionalism displayed by both the business owner and the contractors was commendable. Their commitment to delivering outstanding results while maintaining efficiency was evident in the timely completion of our project. The attention to detail was truly exceptional, blending functionality with aesthetics to create a kitchen that not only met but exceeded our expectations, taking a disjointed space and helping redefine it. What started as a small, cramped kitchen, is now an expansive space for baking or a casual meal and a conversation. We went from a glass cooktop and single electric oven to a 5-burner gas range, double oven, and even a proofing/warming drawer. In summary, Mike's exemplary work ethic, expertise, and genuine care make him an outstanding contractor. For anyone considering a significant home renovation project, like a kitchen remodel, Levcor's proficiency and personal touch promise a transformative experience, resulting in a space you'll treasure for years to come. Trust me on this, as our remodeled kitchen has provided my wife with the perfect 9-foot island to launch her small gluten-free baking business."

"Please learn from our mistake and do not work with Westward Renovation. We selected them to construct an addition on our home. After we signed the contract and provided the deposit, the problems began. After lots of big promises and regular communication, the calls dropped off and the fact that there was no method to the madness became clear. Once construction began, they started deviating from the engineering plans with out engineer or county approval, they skipped required inspections, and the quality of the work of the subcontractor they selected for framing was just awful. When we raised concerns we were told to "trust the process." After their negligence resulted in rain leaking into our existing home not once but twice! we gave them 2 weeks to fix the myriad of issues that had arisen by that point. 2 weeks later we terminated our contract, with most of the issues still unresolved.

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.
