"8 weeks. I had them come out 8 weeks ago to do a quote... I've called more than half a dozen times to follow-up on the quote, and still nothing... just excuses. Now we are going into summer, and we don't even have so much as an estimate. Wasted 2 months of my time.."

"Steve and his team did a fantastic job and really stood by their work. They had to coordinate with the property manager (work performed on our Michigan rental property, we live in Georgia) and tenant for access to the property. The team was on site for a couple of days. They did an amazing job installing the drain pipe in the basement to pull the water into the sump pump and the auto on/off dehumidifier they installed in the crawlspace they connected it to the drain pipe so it would not require any maintenance by the tenants. The dehumidifier goes on/off by itself and drains just fine. The basement is now "bone dry" according to the tenant. We researched several different companies, and decided to go with Steve after we talked with him, reading reviews, talking with references and we watched his company videos on the waterproofing process. We really felt like he was honest and was not trying to bankrupt us to complete this job. It still costs us $5,000, but we felt like he would stand by his work and he has. We called him to go back out to the house after the job was completed to check on the dehumidifier (it was our fault), we had the electrical outlet installed in the crawlspace AFTER he completed the job, and couldn't figure out how to turn ON the unit. He went back out to check on it to make sure it was working and we are thrilled with the results. Would use him again and refer him without hesitation!!"

"I needed a bathroom remodel for a small bathroom. I believe Doug took on more than he could handle. He said 4 days which took 6 days. He even told me on the last day he rushed to get out of here because he was tired. Well here's what happened. He uses a lot of caulk to cover up mistakes. The caulk around the standup shower on one side is already cracking. He only put 1 coat of paint on. So you see all the brush strokes and the spots where paint comes through. I mentioned something. And no response!!! He didn't even paint the shelf's in the closet. Here's the really bad part. The TILE FLOOR!!! Omg... It is so uneven. A couple corners are sticking up. Tiles are wavy due to not being even. First week grout was cracking and was coming out in pieces. Doug is very good about responding. I text him about the problem and he came to fix it. He took a grinder to the grout and refilled it. That made it worse. Grout line's are much larger then others. Corners he tried putting grout higher to fill in. Grout is on titles in areas that I cant get off. Grout is 2 different colors in spots. Being floor so wavy he put caulk between tile and floor board to hide it on those pieces. It's a total disaster!! So I text him about it. Didn't hear from him. 3 days later text him again nothing. End of week I text him that he's left me no choice but to go to CIVIL COURT!! Boy 2 minutes later he called. I thought I was being nice by offering to buy the tile again and give him $200. Or he can pay 1/2 for someone else to do it. He said he'd get back to me. Haven't heard a word!! I'm a very easy person to get along with. Him and I got along. So I don't understand why he has an attitude. Other than he can't do it??? So CIVIL COURT I go. First time I've used Angies list. And this is a top rated Comp. I don't know????"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Genesee, 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.
