"This was absolutely the best experience I’ve had with a contractor. The owner and his crew were the greatest to work with each day. Their work and their clean up was above par. From the first meeting, to the design process and choosing materials, I was kept informed each day what to expect and everything was done on time as promised and far exceeded my expectations. I will hire them again!"

"Everything was handled professionally all the way thru the process. They have 4 additional warehouses you can use for selection of the granite. We ended up using the warehouse down on Sherman Av, and were treated with courtesy and professionalism. Our 2 final selections were also much lower in cost then expected. Just for Granite was substantially lower in overall cost than one of their competitors that advertise cheap prices. And also included the 15 year sealing at no additional cost."

"We had an older home which needed a complete kitchen and bath update. Our remodeling job required extensive skills in carpentry, drywall, plumbing, cabinetry, finish trim work and painting. My wife and I were delighted with the finished appearance and the quality of the work. From start to finish, we were also impressed with the speed and efficiency of the entire process. In addition, we were happy to see how every effort was made to maintain a clean and safe work area."

"I met with Greg several times before starting the project. He was clear and concise and provided a lot of design input. He was easy to work with and provided excellent documentation. Greg was flexible as we progressed throughout the project and was always available for questions.? He was onsite everyday during construction to guide his team.? The build out went on schedule as we had great weather. As changes were identified during construction any issues were brought to my attention immediately so that we could decide on what was the correct approach. Greg was challenged to find an old style of brick for the outside base of the extension but was able to locate it and get it installed. His team was meticulous in the outside design to match the character of my home.? Once painted you cannot tell that anything was added.? All aspects of the buildout was completed as per the contract and per the schedule.? I would definitely work with Greg again on any building or remodeling projects."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elwood, IN

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.
