"Jeff Feldhaus just finished remodeling a bathroom for us and we couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the work, the professionalism he and Phil displayed, the communication, partnership and the overall job was great. Everyday they left the job site neat and clean. They showed up when they said and kept us informed. I will definitely use them again. The bathroom looks awesome. Greg Fahnestock"

"Hogeland Construction was the best company that we worked with during the entire build. We began the build right when Covid hit. There were delays upon delays that were out of our locus of control due to Covid restrictions. These delays included in permiting, inspections, availability of materials etc. Covid turn everything upside down. However, Bryan Hogeland was able to adapt to the obstacles and never compromised on the quality of his work. We were impressed by his ability to pivot at a moment's notice to the unpredicted challenges the arose. Bryan's greatest characteristic is his thorough communication. He would even call at night in the middle of a torrential rain storm to make sure that there were no leaks. We can say that I really believed that he was as invested in this project as we were. It was a true partnership."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Great Experience with Lightning Remodel We recently hired Lightning Remodel for a tile project, and they exceeded every expectation. What started as a straightforward tile job quickly revealed some incorrectly installed plumbing, and Buck went above and beyond to fix it so our project could stay on schedule. His professionalism, skill, and commitment to getting the job done right were evident every step of the way. Buck and his team tiled our bathroom, closet, and laundry room, & also installed hardwood flooring in our kitchen and butler’s pantry. The craftsmanship was exceptional across the board. They kept the job site clean, communicated clearly, arrived on time, and navigated every curveball our old house threw at him with patience and expertise. Working with Lightning Remodel was a pleasure. They will be our very first call for any future home projects. Highly recommend! ***Photos to come***"

"We had a poorly functioning enclosed patio. Remark helped us define a redesign that opened the space, added a fireplace feature and blended perfectly with the house and yard. "

"We love our new patio pavilion from River City! We have enjoyed it many times already this spring. Everyone we encountered was friendly and polite. Once the weather broke the project was completed well and quickly! I will not hesitate to use them on future projects!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Franklin, OH

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.
