"Granzow Home Inprovement was amazing, from the initial meeting, to questions or concerns we had, before, during, and after the work was performed. We were pleasantly surprised mostly by the care and concern Rick and Bob took regarding their customer, which is rare in many businesses. This was our first home remodel project, we learned a lot from it, and we love our basement! Keep up the excellent service!"

"There are not enough good words to say about Nick, High Quality Contracting's owner. His professionalism, open communication, courteousness, and knowledge far exceeded my expectations. Nick completed my huge home project in a very timely manner and hired only the highest quality professionals — building architect, electrician, HVAC professional, plumber, etc. Nick kept me updated during the construction/remodel regarding the workers coming into my home and set the expectations; he was always conscience of the cost and helped save money by giving excellent alternatives with every purchase. Nick is very easy to work and his vast knowledge allowed him to provide excellent and trustworthy recommendations. My home is absolutely beautiful, I am thrilled with the results! Nick did such a tremendous job three of my friends hired him to complete work in their home. The name of Nick's company High Quality Contracting says it all. He truly has Craftsmanship You Can Trust.

"Shawn took our basement from completely unfinished to a 1400 sqft luxury space. We had an incredible experience with Shawn and his team. Shawn was very flexible with us where we needed flexibility and was reliable! It was obvious that he wanted us to be happy with the finished product and listened to what we wanted. Communication was great! I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"RNR has done it again! I have tried for over a year to find someone to do some skirting around the back of my house. Some said that they could do it but the pricing was far more than I was budgeting, and some who could not see my vision. I wanted to make sure feral cats and other wildlife could live rent free so the skirting was needed to protect my home and provide a cosmetic upgrade as well. I look forward to our next project!"

"Joe Timm did an extensive remodel of our 1965 ranch fixer-upper, that included kitchen, 2 baths, great room, 1 bedroom, and den. He was professional and thorough. His price quotes were on-target and reasonable. He was reliable: he called and visited when he said he would. We'll use him again for our unfinished basement. We highly recommend Joe and his work. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Germantown, 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.
