"My wife hired HRUBIK Construction for two projects. The first was to relocate and rebuild a 17 step staircase into our basement and the second was to remodel our on-suite bathroom. The bathroom remodel included demo of original bathroom, relocating plumbing, electrical and lighting, as well as installing an extra large solid surface shower, glass shower door, free-standing tub, new double vanity and toilet. He also installed in-floor heating and a new tile floor. It also involved closing up one doorway and installing another for better flow. We would recommend John for several reasons: Most importantly, once he began our project, it was his top priority until it was complete. He was here every day unless his subcontractorâ s schedule made it impossible. 2. He is very knowledgeable and skilled and is a bit of a perfectionist at that. 4. My wife found John very easy to talk to, and he always listened to her questions, concerns and suggestions. 5. SheI felt completely comfortable leaving John and his team in our home if she had to be out. 6. John was great to keep the construction debris cleaned up and hauled off throughout the weeks of work. And finally, we are very happy with the way both projects turned out. And although we donâ t anticipate any problems because of his care and attention to details, he assured us that he would correct any future problems that were the direct result of his construction. If you are looking for a honest builder with integrity, who takes pride in the work he does, then I think you would be happy with John HRUBIK."

"Great experience. Excellent communication. Beyond happy with how our kitchen remodel turned out. John and his team were awesome throughout the process of our kitchen remodel. When we reached out for an estimate - John was here the next day and we got the process started. We encountered a few delays that were out of our control, but John was there to update us every step of the way. I would recommend this company to anyone. 10/10. Also, Ramey is an absolute rockstar!"

"Jason Perry was great to work with. He communicates well. This job involved removing and replacing a very wide, crumbling, set of concrete steps, about six feet wide and four steps tall, abutting two houses, one on each side. Jason was excellent at emailing the owners of both houses, ensuring that both of us knew exactly what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. He started work when he said he would and completed it quickly and professionally. I will gladly hire Perry Contracting for future work."

"It was fantastic! They had a really organized crew. The guys set it up and knew exactly what they were to do, and they never missed anything. I called them and the gentleman came out and went over everything with me. He told me exactly what was going to happen and how it was going to happen. I had no problems at all. I priced them before and they were $1,000 cheaper than a couple of other bids that I got. The price was satisfactory, but I think they all charge too much."

"Exceptional workmanship, price, professionalism, and clean up. Constant communication, very detail oriented. <br /> After a situation with another Angie's List contractor, John came in and fixed the job and more. Prices are excellent. <br /> I cannot recommend him enough, and while I am not high maintenance, I am not easily overly satisfied. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fairmont, WV

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.
