"I’ve worked with Joe and his team twice now - once to finish a basement, and most recently, to take care of a laundry list of items I needed done that were beyond my skillset. He’s timely, professional, and detail-oriented, and the subcontractors he works with are as well. Always on budget, no surprises, and awesome to work with whether the project is big or small. My dad is a retired contractor and gives his thumbs up too."

"Last fall Mike Bauman and Co. transformed a space off our kitchen into a laundry room. This was a pretty complicated project involving some tricky plumbing, electrical work and some creative space design. Mike and his crew were model employees - knowledgeable, skilled, courteous and prompt. We had an ideal experience with Bauman Remodeling and love our new laundry room."

"WR Builders Inc. handled our basement remodel, and we could be happier with the results. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the quality of the workmanship is outstanding. They were easy to communicate with and offered great design ideas that we hadn’t even considered. Highly recommend!"

"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."

"When we started our plan of remodeling, the first thing we did was the complete roof replacement including kitchen vent & duct pipe installation to the roof, and new installation of attic ventilation. MMP did not only completed it just as agreed but also very efficiently. The crews were friendly, professional, and careful. The jobs were carefully managed and implemented effectively. I was impressed by Matt, who is the manager, and he does an outstanding job in managing the crews and the progress of the situation, and the communication was clear and always to the point. We then moved to initiate a search for a contractor of two bathrooms remodeling after completing the roof and attic vent, MMP was one of the many candidates. Matt has had not only the best idea and proposals but also shown an impressive & professional sense of evaluating the project accurately, including the possible structural modification as well as a competitive estimate of the cost of the build. His proposal included a rebuild of a wall of the bathroom to expand another one adjacent to it. Matt accepted to use my schematic design image (made with a software tool) and a spreadsheet list of the fixtures that I created - as many as fifty items including TOTO, Grohe, American Standard, Panasonic, and IKEA - to start the job (later changed some of them due to local plumbing code compliance) After beginning the bathroom remodel project, Matt shared what jobs will be done with us timely and efficiently via text so that we feel comfortable enough in knowing what is going on while living in the house of dust & noise from remodeling. The crews, Zen and Mark, were very courteous, extensively experienced, reliable, and friendly with excellent communication, sometimes with songs of 80s rock music. They ask me when more precise specifications are needed and notified me when they feel advance notifications are required. When a change is necessary due to inspection, they informed me and clarified what and why. I have never felt uncomfortable in living together with the remodel job which has lasted over four months. The completed two bathrooms were stunning, just as I imagined. Matt, Zen, and Mark have proved their strong & thoughtful expertise and lived up with my request patiently until completion. Great job. A home remodeling project cannot be successful without having a trusted partner, and my experience with MMP has led me to be glad to share my confidence that MMP has a credential to become your reliable partner to manage a construction project together."

"I needed the work complete in 10 days. Humbarto was punctual every step in the process. The work was done on time as discussed. He scrape the ceiling added a bonding compound. When dried he plaster and came back later to prime and paint. The ceilings were smooth and painted professionally. The kitchen wall looked great no more cracks. Humbarto answered all my calls and questions. He explained what he would do and he was here for the whole project. I would hire him again."

"I couldn't have asked for a better team to help with my project! Grainne, John and James were incredible to work with. They supported us through every step of the way - very responsive, detail oriented and efficient. They offered their professional input while respecting our needs, and I really appreciate that they always had my best interest in mind. I was so impressed that everything stayed on schedule and completed in just 6 weeks (full kitchen and bathroom remodel, installed new floors, and repainted the whole apartment). This was my first home renovation and have heard that things rarely stay on schedule, so we were really lucky to work with Kinsella Built!!"

"Khaled did a major renovation for our property, including kitchen, bathroom, basement, living room and deck. The house needed upgrading of heating system, electrical and plumbing. Khaled came highly recommended from our realtor who said that he did excellent work for her. From the moment we meet Khaled it was apparent he knew his stuff. He walked through the house examining the structure and construction, pointing out defects, areas of improvements, and possible approaches. When we started the actual demo and rebuilding, his crew was diligent and very capable. Khaled takes pride in his work and is honest and reasonable and I suggest asking for his input as he always has good ideas and vision. In this age of cost cutting, sloppy workmanship, and lack of integrity, Khaled stands out as an honest contractor who cares about his work. He doesnâ t cut corners and is through and careful. His crew is also trustworthy and hardworking. Bonus points to Khaled also for being funny, smart and charismatic. Yeah this is a paean of praise but in this case well warranted. Five stars for this excellent contractor."

"Great job - great price!  Bill did a fantastic job cleaning out all the house gutters and my house is rather large, so he had to climb up to 2-3 roof areas with the highest being third story.  While on one roof, he even washed the kitchen window for me, because I couldn't access it from inside the house. Otherwise, I would have had to climb over the deck railing onto the roof to do it myself.  He made recommendations for a particularly challenging area where a downspout needs to be reworked,  He also recommended a roofer who will be providing me with an estimate this week. I never felt like he was in a hurry, even though he did have another job to go to.  He took the time to walk around the house with me and answer my questions. 
 Bill is professional, thorough and has a great personality.  I recommend hiring him."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jamaica Plain, MA

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.
