"Jared is a pleasure to work with. Reliable, dependable, returns texts and phone calls and listens to his customers. I was totally pleased with his work. He took on my entire new landscaping project from dirt to a beautiful landscape. It was done timely, cleanly and within my budget!! I'll be using his services again for my pergola next season!!"

"GLD Construction is the best framing crew I’ve worked with. They’re fast, efficient, and the quality of their work is top notch. The crew stays organized, keeps the job moving, and their pricing is very cost effective for the level of craftsmanship they deliver. Highly recommend them if you want framing done right and on schedule."

"I am so glad I selected Paradise Fencing to remove an old chain link fence and install a solid vinyl fence. Everyone I dealt with throughout the project was extremely professional, reliable, and hard working. Matt answered every single question I had concerning the installation process and the product. Once the project started, they worked hard to complete it quickly for me on some very hot days. They even removed unwanted lava rocks for me and hauled away a ton of branches I had cut down earlier in the spring. I just love the fence. It improved the look of the property. I had an appraisal done recently and the fence added to the overall value of the property as well. After the project was completed, Matt contacted me to make sure I was pleased with everything. I could not be more pleased. Matt, Kale, and the rest of the crew really do nice work. I have several other projects that need to be completed and I will be hiring Paradise Fencing in the future. I strongly recommend this company. <br />"

"The key to any successful remodel is communication and flexibility. Cole was very attentive to my needs and requirements and provided valuable suggestions in addition to excellent craftsmanship. <br /> He suggested a way to save on the tile required for the floor and shower. He also found a very reasonably priced source for the cabinetry. I saved so much through his suggestions that I was able to afford a custom granite top. <br /> <br /> From beginning to end the job went very smoothly. Cole was on the job and the work progressed smoothly, exactly as he promised. He was on-site when he said he would be and completed each stage of the work as he predicted. If I had questions, he was easy to reach. <br /> The dry wall sub he brought in was also excellent and did a superb job matching the texture and finish of the existing wall. <br /> <br /> All in all a terrific job and I am very happy with the results."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in East Helena, MT

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.
