"I recently hired Hometown to remodel my living room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, he was professional, communicative, and detail-oriented. He helped me refine my vision, offering great design suggestions while ensuring the final outcome matched my style and budget. The craftsmanship was top-notch, with high-quality materials and precise attention to detail in everything from flooring to lighting and built-ins. The project stayed on schedule, and any minor issues that arose were quickly addressed. He was also respectful of my home, keeping the workspace clean and minimizing disruptions. Overall, I highly recommend Hometown for any home renovation project. They exceeded my expectations, and my living room now looks stunning!"

"We used DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen earlier this year to put in a new bathroom in our basement plus do a minor remodel (countertop replacements) on all of our other bathrooms to match the new one. I have to say, we couldn't be more happy with both the end result as well as how DreamMaker approached the entire process from start to finish. The DreamMaker team were really friendly, professional, and responsive from day one until, well, weeks after they'd finished when we had some questions about care and maintenance. They were very transparent with their pricing up front and also provided a complete product list of everything they had installed. When they were working inside of our home, all of the workers that came to visit took immense care. They did a fantastic job in covering up all of our carpet they were walking on, covering up the floors and other surfaces in our bathrooms that they were working in. They kept everything really clean and we were impressed at the attention to detail (the DreamMaker team found minor imperfections that the wife and I missed to correct in the final walk through, far more critical of their own work than we were!). I only have one complaint. They did such a good job with the new bathroom in the basement, it makes our master bathroom look bad!!! (Good problem to have in the end) Pricing wise, we had gotten quotes from multiple vendors earlier on in this process. Considering how top notch of an overall project experience we had, I can pretty happily say that none of them came close to matching the value DreamMaker brought. We will certainly be looking to them in the future for any other projects! (Pictures are just of the new basement install, they also put that black countertop in our other bathrooms)"

"HC Remodel and Design is an excellent company. From start to finish, Gary and all of his staff took great pride in my master bath remodel. They were very professional, highly skilled, communicated well, were available for any questions or concerns no matter how small, took great care to keep things as clean as possible, were always courteous, and were as interested in my project and it's outcome as I was. I couldn't be happier with my master bath. It's the result of their experience, talent, guidance, and attention to even the smallest detail."

"We were very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of the gentleman who came out. He didn't try to "upsell", had some great money- and space-saving ideas, was flexible about use of (approved) subcontractors, and was honest about what was (and was not) possible in our unique and limited space.   We hope to use them in our remodel. <br />"

"<p>This went very well. The company did a great job. It did take them a little longer than they initially stated but they did a great job. They cleaned up after themselves and also called ahead when they were running late. The communication with them went well. </p> <p>When a piece didn't fit appropriately, they cut the piece to ensure it would fit my home without charging me any extra money. </p>"

"He was a referral from a friend. We liked what they did. I have recommended them to other people. They were very helpful with ideas and remodeling. They were very good about cleaning up when their days work was done. They always came when they said that they would, and did a very good quality job. I am very happy with the work that they did."

"IT ACTUALLY WENT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING IN TO WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH A 56 YEAR OLD HOUSE AND ITS PLUMBING. THEY DID A NICE JOB AND WERE HERE WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE HERE. FOR A DIRTY JOB AS THIS WAS, I THOUGHT THEY WERE AS NEAT AND CONSIDERATE AS COULD BE EXPECTED.THEY EVEN WENT THE EXTRA MILE TO LAY BACK IN MY DECO. ROCK OVER WHERE THEY HAD DONE SOME DIGGING OUTSIDE, WHICH I APPRECIATED. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEYRE SERVICES TO ANYONE. THEY WERE VERY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT PLUMBING AND FULLY EXPLAINED  EVERYTHING BEFORE HAND. THEY ALSO WERE EASY TO WORK WITH."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Glenwood, IA

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.
