"Property ReVision did an EXCELLENT job finishing our basement. From the start to finish, Jason and his whole team did an amazing job, tried their best to keep our project on time and on budget during Covid-19 period. His team was very flexible on scheduling and willing to listen to our needs. The design and quality of their work flawlessly fits our upstairs modern contemporary style. We are so pleased with the comfortable elegant living area they created for us. We highly recommend Property Revision to anyone for their remodeling projects"

"We couldn’t be happier with our basement remodel from start to finish! The process was smooth, and the communication throughout the project was excellent. We always felt informed and knew what to expect along the way. Scott and Nick were both great to work with. They listened to our ideas and brought them to life, while also offering suggestions we hadn’t thought of that added unique and thoughtful details to the overall project. Their experience and attention to detail really made a difference. They were extremely meticulous, and the quality of the finished product is outstanding. The entire team was professional, courteous, and took great pride in their work. We also felt that their pricing was fair and reasonable for the level of craftsmanship and service they provided. There is nothing we would change about the final outcome and we are excited to enjoy our newly remodeled basement for many years to come. Highly recommend American Home Remodeling!"

"It was great! Nick does a lot of big projects, and our job was a smaller one, so we had to work around other schedules from time to time, and Nick is also not big on tons of email or paperwork which was mostly fine, but there were a few minor miscommunications and moments where we wanted more information, but all was quickly resolved to our satisfaction. Regarding the actual work, every contractor was very professional, and Nick checked on and followed up with all of them. The work was all done very well, and several months later we have no issues or concerns. Everything looks so great! We had a water issue in our basement and no longer have to worry about that. The new bathroom is our favorite part. It feels spacious because of the layout and design choices Nick made, but actually it's a really small footprint which is perfect!"

"I am so grateful to have had such an excellent contractor. A basement remodel in a 1920s home is always going to have surprises and puzzles to solve. Mike took on the challenge, made awkward spaces more comfortable, and added a bathroom where there was none. He communicated carefully every step of the way, and offered options and great suggestions. His tile work is beautiful and he pays attention to details. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Franklin, WI

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.
