"We had Steve Phillips from Matrix Basement out to our home this evening. Steve was very polite and professional. Took the time to view our basement space, gave good insight and suggestions of what layout options would work best. Along, with drawing out the layout for us to visually see. Steve answered all of our questions. We look forward to working with Matrix Basements and having our basement space finished for our family to enjoy."

"Very happy with the entire process. Communication was great and Eric even brought Reggie to house the day before the job started to introduce him so I knew who to expect in the morning. Reggie and Cole were great. They took special care to respect my home and did incredible work. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product."

"It was pretty good. They came back and redid some work, it was pretty impressive. They came out to inspect the work and they actually redid stuff without me having to pay. I had to wait a few months for them. The workers were good. They need to use a more experienced contractor. I wouldn't automatically go to them but I would get quotes from them."

"After a bit of confusion (due to a previous quote from another technician) regarding our deep crawl space, we and Ayers finally made a joint decision on the best system to use. Gage Pederson, the Foreman, did an outstanding job of explaining what they were going to do, kept us totally informed each step of the way, and repeated everything, along with the warranty at the end of the job. We felt free to ask any questions and Gage replied with confidence and quickly. I can’t say enough about this young man’s professionalism. Ayers needs to keep him long term, and putting him in sales earlier than later. He really knows his stuff. He gave us complete confidence that the trenching and encapsulated system will work! Cody Redman and Andy Best were also on the job and did an outstanding job. All three of these guys worked their tails off, not stopping for long. When they left each day, Gage was sure to say what time they would return the next day. They called each day to say they were on their way, and showed up sooner than their expected arrival. It was a real pleasure getting to know each one of them, and they were excellent representatives for the Ayers company. Congrats to a job well done!"

"Jeff has always placed a high priority on the quality of the finished project. There have been times he has found some unforeseen issues after uncovering/removing existing structures, and brought them to my attention, and wanted to do it right, even though it was going to cost more and take a little longer. He wants to do the right thing, and make sure the project is done right. I've always been satisfied with the finished product. When I had questions, he was responsive and explained things so I could understand them. He always presented a couple of options, and I never felt pressured into doing things one way or another. After presenting us with the options, he left the choices up to us. We've never regretted spending the extra money when required to make sure the job was done correctly. Jeff is also willing to provide a quick, ballpark estimate and advice when we are considering projects to save us both time. We are saving up for a partial kitchen remodel, and he gave us a budgetary number one day after taking some measurements. And finally, he has the ability and talent to hand-make custom cabinets - he was able to make built-in cabinets for an old closet in the basement and it looks like the cabinets and shelving has always been there. High-quality cabinet work and woodworking."

"I decided to do the whole roof. This guy I guess he really wanted my business. He probably was the lowest priced one. I guess I'll say A because he was lower than the others. He said I'll guarantee you know whatever, and I'll come back and fix whatever. He has a five-year guarantee as well. Everything they did was just right."

"Everything went great. This is a rental and we out of town. They called me on the way over and promised it would be taken care of. When it was done, they called again and told me what they had done, it was beyond my expectations and did not cost any extra. They even sent me pictures on my cell phone so I could see the work. <br /> This is the second time we used them, the first time was for a new water heater and that went great at a fair price as well."

"The person they sent out was from Mr Handyman, easy to work with, asked questions, checked on what he was doing, flexible, if we wanted him to do something else he would figure out how to do things that was kinda odd. He secured our screen door better also.   <br /> <br /> It was kinda expensive."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hastings, 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.
