"I currently reside at 20985! I've used JAKE Prestige for 2 remodeling projects (Bathrooms) We have been so impressed with this work. Jose was great at listening to our plans and was able to anticipate problems or issues and came up with creative solutions to avoid delays. The Projects were completed on time and on budget. His team went out of their way to make sure the work was completed on time. Jose is easy to contact and responds quickly. The Quality of work is superb and we're received many compliments about our bathrooms from family and friends I recommend JAKE for any house projects."

"Eugene and his team did a fantastic job finishing our basement! The quality of their work was top notch, and their prices were reasonable compared to other contractors. They were extremely responsive throughout the entire process with any changes we requested or questions we had. The work was completed on time, and included a beautiful half bath and wall-mounted desk. They even did other small favors around our house that were outside of the finished basement, which was very convenient for us. Despite challenges presented by working through the middle of a pandemic, this did not affect their schedule at all, and we came in right at our budget. We cannot recommend Glorem enough, and would absolutely use them for any future remodeling projects!"

"DVR was the best remodel work I have ever had. Did my upstairs, main floor and basement. The work was detailed and precise. Including new fireplace. Outside work included my pier, decks, stairs and paving work. They stand behind all their work as they responded quickly to any concerns I had. Price was by far the best I found. Lastly, they are good people too. That is what I liked the best."

"United Cabinet Store created beautiful custom pieces for my kitchen. I decided to remodel my kitchen and replace the old cabinets. They were no good. I had a specific idea in mind for my new cabinets and United Cabinet Store created exactly what I wanted. When it came time to install them, their team was quick, efficient, and friendly. They were done in no time, allowing me to move on to the next step in my renovation. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs professional cabinet service."

"Blackstone was amazing from the very beginning. They didn't have an aggressive sales pitch and really listened to what we wanted and what was in our budget. While in the showroom, they offered water, snacks, and Netflix to our young boys as the adults talked about the boring stuff. While in the showroom, they didn't push the most expensive product, but truly listened to us and stayed within our budget. Once the project started their team was always on time, communicated often, and did an amazing job. We highly recommend Blackstone for their professional staff and amazing craftsmanship. We especially liked our project manager Kadir, and our salesman, Junior. We will be using them again for our kitchen remodel!"

"I love my basement now! They removed all of the asbestos flooring, adhesive etc. and installed my new floor in 2 days. The employees were very respectful and worked efficiently. They had said 3 days but they hustled and did it in 2."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Highland, MD

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.
