"My interaction with this company, represented by Gordon Rudd, was limited to a site visit only. Work that I thought might be needed turned out to be unnecessary. When I called the company, I reached Gordon directly, and he was able to stop by the next morning, right at the time we scheduled. He was very helpful in explaining what I was seeing. He didn't charge me anything for the very helpful visit."

"We recently had a deck built around our pool by Loft Remodeling and Architectural Salvage, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Mike was incredibly skilled and brought a high level of professionalism to the job. The work was completed in a timely manner, and it’s clear that he takes pride in the quality of his craftsmanship. He was also very knowledgeable and guided us through the entire process with confidence and clarity. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch work and a smooth experience! Five stars only because I can’t give any more than five!!!"

"I hired CZ Services to build my new 700 sq.ft. Garage with a full second floor storage area. We have an 1893 Victorian farmhouse and wanted the garage to match our existing home. CZ Services did an amazing job, from working with our architect to getting all the permits and working with the electrician and plumber and concrete guys to give us our garagmahol! We couldn’t be happier with all the work that was performed. We also had them install a new 20x22 deck to replace our 40 year old cedar deck that was there from previous owners. They also did all the landscape surrounding the area incorporating our existing plants into the new landscape. Highly recommend this family owned and run business. Chris, Kelli, CJ and Jonathan are all great people to work with!"

"I couldn?t be happier with the incredible job Ray did remodeling my basement! From our first conversation to the finished product, he was professional, communicative, and delivered high-quality work. He listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and did exactly what I envisioned. Ray stayed on schedule, kept the space clean, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you?re considering any kind of remodeling or construction project, I can?t recommend Bryden Construction enough. He was reliable and easy to work with. Thanks again for turning my basement into a beautiful, functional space I truly love! "

"Sam and his crew did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. Sam worked with us to get our project closer to our budget. Jeremy and Derrick were very professional, polite, and always cleaned up after they were done for the day. Jeremy went above and beyond finding us a door last minute and finding hardware for our tub that matched. We would definitely hire SKC again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elkhorn, 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.
