"ABSOLUTELY irresponsible and disrespectful company that does not value its customers or their time Missed their delivery/installation window of 12-4pm. No contact from them about anything and when i try to contact them all they'll tell me is that it was put on a truck this morning and they can provide no other information about when they might be coming to my house or if they'll even make it today. Seemed to have no interest in trying to help figure things out. Extremely unhelpful and customer service has a poor, lazy attitude Edit: several hours later and it's clearly not coming today but never was there any contact to attempt to communicate this with me. Just a silent no show. Calling the store they're only able to say that their deliveries are managed by a third party and they have absolutely no way whatsoever of contacting them or getting any information on it at all. Maybe someday hopefully I'll get my refrigerator delivered. Apparently not today. I do not recommend Lowes if you're getting a large appliance. They're not coordinated enough to pull it off. Edit 2: tracker just updated and apparently since they aren't responsible enough to deliver it between 12p and 4p on Friday they pushed it back to TUESDAY anywhere between 8a and 8p, during which i won't even be available for the delivery. I wasn't consulted or even notified of the reschedule, nor are they apparently going to give me any say because they blocked out the reschedule delivery button. Shoulda gone to Home Depot."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Galena, KS

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.
