"Partial basement completion. Created a bedroom, a bathroom, and a storage room in our unfinished basement. Fantastic work and very, very fast. We had a certain timeline, we knew it would be tight, but the Elite team worked it in around previously schedule jobs and got it done. Everything is beautifully done and we greatly appreciate the excellent work. The entire crew was courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional, making sure we were satisfied all along the way. Great job!"

"Our roofing system—insulation, ventilation, and surface—needed thoughtful replacement. After years of worry, having contractors ghost us, no one willing to look at the project holistically, and sleepless nights, Regulus Building Company LLC stepped in and did an outstanding job. He inspected the situation, came up with a thoughtful plan based on current best practices, hired excellent sub-contractors, and completed the project on time and at a fair price. Unusual in this industry , there was excellent communication from start to finish. We couldn’t be more satisfied and highly recommend Regulus!!"

"Ryan Seminario/Black Iron Construction installed a sliding door package in our living room. It was difficult to find someone willing to do a smaller project but Ryan was totally on board. This project required installing a header and re-constructing the wall to fit the doors, putting up drywall, sanding and texturing the wall and putting up new siding on the outside. He did a beautiful job! He paid attention to detail and got everything right. He is very good about communicating. Especially when he will be on site and what he will be working on. When he wasn't comfortable doing the wiring needed for our project, he was honest and upfront with me. We worked together and found an electrician to do it. He put up a plastic wall around the work area and cleaned the work area at the end of each day. I really appreciated that! I highly recommend Black Iron Construction for any project."

"Micah did a great job! It was clear that he knew what he was doing. I feel that he was honest with me and very fair on his pricing compared to others. Micah was also great at communicating with me throughout the whole job. I would recommend him to anyone, and will definitely be using his services again in the future."

"Denny and Coleman were excellent throughout the process.  The bid was very competitive with the others.  They were excellent at communicating with us, very clean, and very professional.  This was our first contact with them and now consider them our "goto" guys for HVAC or electrical work.  In fact, they will be coming out in six weeks to do some electrical during our kitchen remodel. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Irwin, ID

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.
