"I have a two bedroom townhome that needed to be completely remodeled, top to bottom. Final Touch came in and gave me a very fair bid and turn time.... They not only exceeded my expectations but came back and did some extra work for me on the exterior. They communicated with me every step along the way and sent pictures of the progress... Final Touch did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any projects, big or small. I will DEFINITELY be using them again!! "

Customers say: Quick response

"Tom and his crew at Dreamline were a pleasure to work with. This was a very challenging time to get home repairs done due to covid restrictions and supply shortages. The crew was reliable and at work when expected. Tom communicates regularly and adjusts to required changes with a positive, can do attitude. They definitely take pride in their work and strive for customer satisfaction. Its easy to work with honest, straight forward people."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kalama, WA

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.
