"Blue Line Construction came as a referral and I am so happy to have worked with both Adam and George. They have helped us through the entire process of finishing our unfinished basement. We did not know what to expect with starting a new project, but they had great ideas to help us out throughout the process. They truly went above and beyond through the planning stage. We really did not know how to plan out our 1,200 sqft unfinished basement, but Stephen, their architect, was very insightful and has so much experience. We were able to get a bedroom and wet bar living space exactly how we wanted it. Through the building process, Adam kept communication active through emails and Jorge did a great job managing the crews. All of the crew members were just so polite and respectful!! We will certainly be using Blue Line on our next remodel project, as have already referred to two of our neighbors. Thank you for all the help, guys."

"We recently hired Ratcliff Design and Build for a major update to our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Nathan and his crew installed three hidden support beams, replaced several windows, and added a beautiful French door—and they nailed every detail. From the very beginning, Nathan was clear, professional, and easy to work with. What really stood out was his attention to detail—nothing was rushed, and every cut, joint, and finish was done with real care. It’s rare to find a contractor who treats your home like it’s their own, but that’s exactly what we got. Even better, he stuck to the timeline and the quote he gave us. That kind of reliability is priceless when you’re in the middle of a renovation. If you’re looking for high-quality craftsmanship and someone you can truly trust to deliver, we highly recommend Nathan and the Ratcliff Design and Build team."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
