"They have redone the whole down stairs of our house. They repaired the mess that was left by Delta Design. They have done an outstanding job. They always return your phone calls. The work is 100 percent opposite from what I had from the other company. They take care of minor details. They sand down a door to fix a leak. They will show you if something is wrong. They will literally take it apart and show you if you want. E A Anderson have done an excellent job. They are fairly new. They are a couple of brothers. They rebuilt it again. They leveled some floors, put in some insulation, remodeled the kitchen and everything else. I will continue to use them."

"We didn't get to actually have anything done with Dom's. However, we originally asked for them to come do an estimate for some interior work. The owner ran into something preventing them from coming. They called well ahead and let us know. We really appreciated the heads up. The New Time line wasn't going to work so we parted ways.. we were impressed with the courtesy they gave us."

"The project went well. It was done to prevent any water damage from snow melt getting behind the siding and over the flashing due to older cedar siding beginning to crack. This was the problem according to A and L. I will know for sure as the snow melts this spring. Hopefully they were correct! <br /> I can't recall his name but the man who did our wall this summer really knew what he was doing, took his time and the framing and detail work around our three windows in that area looks very good. <br /> Jerry Stormo with A and L has been great to work with during the last two summers. He is honest, thorough and a really nice guy. He would always get right back to me if I had any questions or concerns with either project. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Grand Forks, ND

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.
