"I have never done a remodel to this extent, and was very pleased with the help I received in making decisions about my bathroom remodel. On top of that, Brentâ s crew could not have been more pleasant to work with. They were polite, and cleaned up after themselves each day and did a beautiful job. I will definitely hire them again!"

"We recently hired Ratcliff Design and Build for a major update to our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Nathan and his crew installed three hidden support beams, replaced several windows, and added a beautiful French door—and they nailed every detail. From the very beginning, Nathan was clear, professional, and easy to work with. What really stood out was his attention to detail—nothing was rushed, and every cut, joint, and finish was done with real care. It’s rare to find a contractor who treats your home like it’s their own, but that’s exactly what we got. Even better, he stuck to the timeline and the quote he gave us. That kind of reliability is priceless when you’re in the middle of a renovation. If you’re looking for high-quality craftsmanship and someone you can truly trust to deliver, we highly recommend Nathan and the Ratcliff Design and Build team."

"My family experienced water and wind damage earlier this year. We had to be placed in a hotel. After reaching out to numerous companies, we chose Maynor construction. I am glad we did!! If it wasnâ t for Maynor and his staff, I wouldnâ t have made it. The process was long and depressing because of being away from home. However Maynor and his staff reassured me. They showed patience with me and worked hand and hand with my insurance company with getting my home repaired in a timely manner. Thank you Maynor! I truly feel like we are family!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Franklin, 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.
