"Could not be happier! We had the dining, living room and main hallway gutted along with up grading the main bathroom. He showed up everyday, on time, ready to go. Very professional and courteous. Was open and accommodating and very helpful with any changes we wanted to make as the project progressed. I most most impressed with his attention to every little detail of his work. Every aspect of the project, from demolition to the trim work, crown molding, painting right up to the finished project exceeded our expectations. Great job!"

"M Phippin did a great job on our 2 room addition. He has the most detailed and easy to understand quote. He stuck to his quote. The work was done in a timely manner considering corona virus came into play towards the end of the remodel. We absolutely love the 2 rooms he did and I wouldn’t think twice to hire him again."

"Joe is very easy to work with. He listened to ideas and followed through. He was there when he said he would be and notified me if he was delayed. The tile work, painting and remodeling work he has done is beautiful. Iâ  m still in the process of making changes to my home and Joe will be my go to person."

"We hired Jeff Maunes and crew to replace the supporting piers, decking, and extensive finishing/trim work of a quite-large covered porch. Importantly, the job involved correcting structural work that had not been done correctly when the porch was first built. Jeff has many years experience and he understood from the outset exactly what was was needed and what kind of finished product we wanted. Communication was excellent. Jeff and his employees are extremely professional and their workmanship first-rate. Despite frequently uncooperative and cold weather, the project was completed in a timely manner. We highly recommend this company and hope to use its services again."

"Sergio did two projects for us. First removed popcorn ceilings and full repaint of the entire house. They did an amazing job. Then after a water leak we did a major home remodel that touched every room in the house and included, drywall, hardwood floors, tile floors, carpet, painting kitchen cabinets, new counter tops, new lighting and electrical work, new doors and all the trim, new roof and new deck. They were there everyday and Sergio called me everyday. His people were amazing polite and very clean. The worked was complete a month early and we were extremely pleased with all the work. He is the best contractor I have ever worked withâ ¦."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fenwick Island, DE

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.
