"Michael Long is our new go to carpenter! We found him on Angie’s List and really can say he is the needle in the haystack. Fantastic, professional work all with the personal touch of working with a small business instead of a big corporate contractor. He shows up, he works hard, he cleans up after every of workday and does things the right way. What else can you ask for? I would recommend Michael to anyone! Won’t go wrong with Longhous Construction! "

"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"We had an outstanding experience working with Lance and his team at SCS Builders & Remodelers. From start to finish, Lance was incredibly involved, responsive, and easy to work with. He communicated clearly, stayed on top of every detail, and made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. What really set him apart was his honesty and guidance. He helped us understand where it made sense to invest a little more for long-term quality, and where we could save without sacrificing the overall look or durability. That kind of transparency is hard to find and made a big difference for us. The craftsmanship from his team was excellent—everything was done with care and attention to detail, and the finished result exceeded our expectations. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and service we received. We would absolutely recommend Lance and SCS Builders & Remodelers to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled contractor. We couldn’t be happier with h"

"The team was very professional and the work was done within a reasonable time frame. I was notified when any hiccups in the schedule happened and was informed on every design decision and asked for approval. Amazing work around a bizzare unfinished basement layout."

"Mitch is excellent to work with. The weather did not cooperate for my patio project, but Mitch and crew were able to complete the work by date promised. Great attention to detail. End result was exactly what I wanted. I definitely recommend Voyager Concrete and would hire them again."

"Project of demo old deck and build a new to the same plan did not get started until late November. There were periodic weeks during the winter that did not allow for any work. The company owner/manager(Ivan) kept us informed of the status. The quality of workmanship was very good and followed the city inspection. Project that was over 15K came in at the bid price."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hugo, MN

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.
