Roomsmith™ opens the possibilities of your house - we are the market leader in room additions and basement conversions, providing fast, high-quality installations with a seamless process.

"Roomsmith displayed a complete lack of professionalism throughout the entire project, from poor communication and constant delays to shoddy workmanship and a blatant disregard for trash left on our property. They failed to return calls/texts promptly and sometimes we didn’t hear back from them for weeks. We experienced frequent delays, ignored concerns, and not taking responsibility for issues like ordering the wrong window (and their professed ability to obtain this exact window is one of the reasons we chose them). They also completely overlooked part of our project (a small closet turned into a pantry) by not ordering any shelves even after the cabinet company told them multiple times that they never measured for them. They overlooked details like the floor transition not being flush and part of our old door frame wall is still there and shouldn’t be. Our project didn’t seem like a priority, more like an afterthought that they didn’t care about. They did not adhere to project timel"

"A couple years ago, my husband and I noticed a leak in or roof at the joint between our four season porch and the main house. Last year I contacted Super Siders and we thought we'd identified and fixed the problem. Returning to Minnesota this month, it was obvious that we hadn't. I called Super Siders again and Russ came out. After some ingenious testing, he identified the problem and went above toward getting the leak repaired. Two thumbs up for Super Siders!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Forest Lake, MN

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
