"We hired JB Construction to remodel our master bathroom and bedroom, this project included building a new shower, tile, new fixtures, etc. Joe did such a great job we decided to have the whole second floor remodeled including the other 3 bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room. My wife and I have been very pleased with the work and the how professional Joe and his crew were. This is the second major remodel we have done with JB, he finished our basement 8 years ago. We will be hiring him in 2025 to remodel our first floor which will include the kitchen. Overall I highly recommend JB Construction and if you are looking for quality work, done on budget and on time you will very happy!!!"

"We hired Bryan Casey Construction to finish our basement. They did quality work from the initial design and layout to the final touch ups. Each stage of the work was generally on time and the workers were professional and helpful. Julie was great to provide design consultation and kept us up to date on the project status. Bryan was on site to oversee pieces of the project, as needed. They were quick to fix any issues that were encountered along the way. We are very pleased with the end result and highly recommend the company!"

"My yard has never looked better, a friend recommended Imagine Restorations to me a few weeks ago, I called them and I find out that they are owned by a Dad and 2 sons, River and Ryan, who is can't brag on enough, super professional, on time and superb workmanship, they went over and beyond for us, we ended up going for a cedar picket shadow box fence, they even out bid a close friend of mine, they did all this in 2 days practically, the wood was delivered a day in a half late so they had to improvise, if you need a fence or need a fence repaired, call Ryan or River over at Imagine Restorations. RIVER- (816)598-7860 and RYAN (573)289-9721... you won't regret doing business with these guys."

"We had a complete master bath remodel, tearing down to studs. Mark was extremely helpful and attentive to details and helping us figure out what was possible and fit the space functionally and looked good. He kept us informed about progress and upcoming tasks. Super-helpful, good communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and the way you want. This is our second bathroom remodel, and he’s on our list for our next project too."

"Minner is an excellent communicator, thoughtful problem solver and efficient worker. He is also quite fairly priced for the scope of the work. My only regret is that I don’t have more money to hire him to remodel the entirety of my house."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Independence, MO

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.
