"Bob and his crew did a great job framing the barn. They were able to adapt to the county and local inspections and made sure the site was clean afterwards. He was in contact with me and the subcontractors daily and the project was completed in a timely manner considering the large amount of work that was done. The crew was friendly and cooperative."

"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"Brent and his crew did an excellent job on my basement remodel. Not knowing where to start, Brent provided industry knowledge and experience to help narrow down my options and guide me in the right direction on choosing the right products. Him and his crew were clean and polite during construction process. I was comfortable with them in my home and definitely would recommend them on any project in the future. Thanks High Road!"

"We worked with Rich to remodel our master bath. He was a wonderful resource to help guide us on what would work and not work for this remodel. His suggestions were very thoughtful and helpful. His team was professional and clean. We were so happy with their work that we hired them to help remodel our living room as well. We highly recommend this company."

Customers say: True professional

"Hire Pete and his company. I have nothing but great accolades for both he and the company. I hired Tersigni Construction to do a complete remodel of our walk-out basement. The quality and Pete's ideas were far and above other companies I researched, and they certainly couldn't match the pricing. Pete will not stop unless the customer is 100% satisfied, and I'm one satisfied customer."

"Brett DeWeese and his contractors have been amazing! Brett kept us well informed of the contractors and when they would be out. The contractors were very professional and so helpful. DeWeese & Associates did an outstanding job on our basement/bath renovation and we plan on using them again to install an under deck drainage system/ceiling, so we can transform the space into a req room."

"Bill Mullane was an absolute joy to work with on our basement project. He not only demonstrated great skills, but was able to bring our vision of how we wanted the basement to look like to fruition. He was always kind, considerate and listened to our ideas. He was a fantastic problem solver and his work ethic, completion, and quality was 5/5 stars. We loved working with him and would recommend him without any hesitation."

"It was a steady process. Of course there were hiccups along the way, but with Renaissance & myself working as a TEAM on this project, everything was done & done well. I do believe that is KEY on any project, especially one of this size. I told Jamie at the beginning of the project that communication was VERY important to me. Jamie was quick to address any questions or concerns I had. He picked up my calls every time. I will hire Renaissance Restoration for all home improvements and/or updates."

"Matrix did a phenomenal job from start to finish. We could not be happier with our basement and the construction. Communication was prompt, progress was well informed, and our contractor, Ron, ensured that everything was completed to our satisfaction. We can not recommend Matrix enough."

"The company has remodeled my master bathroom with quality jobs recently. The technicians are very knowledgeable and experienced. The best part I like is the customer service. Whenever I call and no matter what I want to talk, I can get reply with all the information I need. When I asked for reconnecting one of the water lines, they spent a lot of extra effort to let it done in a timely manner."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Highland, 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.
