"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"These guys were great! I hired them to install a laminate floor & baseboards in my lower level & they completed it quickly & professionally! I then used them to install a vanity/sink & toilet. Although the my bathroom was not plumbed for this, they were knowledgeable enough to get it done! I will continue to use them for all my handyman needs. Just a couple of nice guys with great talent!"

"Overall good job with finishing my basement. i really like my basement overall after i installed carpet from Home Depot and home-theater system from Best Buy. i really appreciated them picking up the selections for the basement bathroom from Home Depot. Things that could have been done better: * I had to replace the closet fixtures, probably because they were fixed on the dry wall. * would have been better if i had choice with the shower inside the basement bathroom."

Small jobs welcome

"We have been looking for over a year for someone to do a three day project for us. The job was too small for most and didnt get call back from some. We called Elliot on a Thursday, he showed up on a Friday to look at the job and started the job and finished in a weeks time. He is very professional and courteous. The job was done perfectly. We will keep his number on speed dial. Highly recommend!!!"

John listened to our needs and spent time with us to map out plans to update our kitchen.  This included the removal of an old pantry and a partial wall and replacing it with cabinetry.  He is reliable, showed up on time every day until the project was completed to our satisfaction.  At the start of each day he would tell us exactly what he planned for that day so we understood next steps.  His craftsmanship is impeccable.  He takes pride in his work and pays attention to even the smallest details.  I highly recommend Midwest Home Remodeling and Design and without hesitation, we will use his services again.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jefferson, WI

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.
