"Remodel It LLC did a fantastic job painting our 50+ kitchen cabinets white. The quality of the Carlos' workmanship was outstanding. The cost did go over the estimate; however, their estimate and the final cost were reasonable. Overall, we are happy with the project."

"Added a Sunroom and turned an unfinished basement into an apartment. Distinctive Design did a fantastic job. They were more than willing to work with me when I wanted to change the dimensions of a room because they understand things can change. They kept to their promised schedule and were great to work with. I highly recommend Distinctive Design Remodeling."

"The company's patriarch (Kelly) is a second-generation home builder with extensive connections with contractors in the area. Our project required the assistance of a structural engineer to design a beam to allow removal of load bearing wall. Before the they quoted the project, they had all the major contractors come to the house and walk through the project. The quote included a scope of work outlining the tasks by area. They also provided a detailed price estimate that matched the scope items. Kelly was at the house every day contractors were on site to make everyone knew what needed to be done. When issues arose due to material delivery issues Kelly stayed on top of the suppliers to get the project back on track. When we noted a few items that we were not 100% satisfied with, Kelly brought in the responsible parties to address our issues/concerns and work with us until we were satisfied. We are extremely satisfied with finished product. Everyone that has seen the house since the remodel was completed have commented on how impressed they are with the finished product and quality of work. We definitely would recommend this contractor, actually as this review is being written a family member is in the process of getting a quote for a bathroom remodel."

"We selected Grasch Contracting to renovate our upstairs bathroom. Their bid was reasonable and transparent, which I appreciated. Tom explained exactly how the process would work, including the time frames. He met us and helped us select the materials we wanted. He was prompt in communicating with us, which has not always been my experience with other contractors I've worked with. His subs were prompt and attentive to detail. He was hands on throughout the process. He completed the project in reasonable time, never failed to show when he said he'd be there, and took the time to answer all of my questions. The best and most important part though, is the quality of work. We couldn't be happier with our bathroom. Here's the kicker. When we went to use the shower, we noticed there was an issue with the shower handle. I texted Tom at 6:30 pm. 30 minutes later he shows up at my door and fixes the issue. That level of customer service just doesn't exist much anymore. It's a comfort to know he stands behind his work. We've already discussed several other projects we'd like to complete. We really can't recommend them enough though."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Louisville, KY

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.
