"Larry Barr's work was "above and beyond" on this project - Drywall install (ceiling), and wall repairs. His work was excellent, it was done in a reasonable amount of time and his post-work clean-up was thorough. We would (will!) hire Larry again; and we highly recommend his services."

"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"My wife and I hired Diamond Developments (DD) to completely remodel our master bathroom shower. Remodel consisted of tearing out the old tile, fixtures, and substructure and replacing them with new Prior to the work, we had the custom glass shower doors and partitions removed by our local glass company that installed them many years ago. We wanted to use the same glass for this current project. DD assigned Justin and Anthony to our remodel. From day 1, they were always on time and ready to work. Floors and stairs leading up to the work area were covered with heavy-duty paper and plastic for protection. At the end of the work day, the work areas were cleaned and organized for the next. They were helpful and would give a daily summary of work completed and what the next dayâ s work plan was. We never had to guess. The tile remodel was all subway tile with custom inlays and niches. The work was beautifully and precisely performed by Justin and Anthony. Our glass guy was called back when the project was done. and was able to use ALL the old glass He remarked that this never happens and was totally impressed as were we at the work completed by DD. Our new master bath shower project was completed beyond our expectations and performed by quality, conscientious, professionals. My wife and I are very happy with Paul and his team from Diamond Developments and will use them again for future projects. Thank you!"

"We recently had our basement remodeled by Al and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included finishing the basement along with adding a bedroom and a full bathroom, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Al and his team were professional, trustworthy, and incredibly detail-oriented. They offered honest opinions throughout the process, which we truly appreciated, and helped guide us in making the best decisions for our space. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship really show in the final product. The project was completed within a tight timeframe, and they were very accommodating to our schedule. Anytime we had questions, minor issues, or wanted to make changes, they addressed them quickly and were always responsive to calls and texts. We highly recommend Al and his team and will absolutely be using them again for future projects."

"Jerrod Thomason, the owner of Superior Home Building, did a complete remodel of our house including a new addition. He did the work while we spent the winter in FL. I contacted him based on the outstanding reviews on Angie's list. We did not meet him until the job was well under way. Everything was done by phone, email, and FaceTime. We couldn't have been more pleased with the result. I would recommend Jerod for any job. He was outstanding!! Our job included: new roof, new siding, new gutters & down spouts, replace all windows, new flooring, new lighting and electrical, new plumbing, seal walls and waterproof basement, paint every room and ceiling in the house. Also a complete remodel of the kitchen, bathroom, utility room, closets, and an addition which included a large new bathroom, walk-in closet and storage area. Use Superior Home Building you won't regret it!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Franklin, MI

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.
