"J J Construction owner Khoa Ha completely replaced my upper and lower decks with composite. He solved many problems we were facing with the decks and designed a system to deflect rain water away from the house. The upper deck was 48'x12' and the lower deck 14'x21', also replaced existing stairs, added bench seating. and lights. In addition he also repaired/reflashed metal roof on the lower back of the house and address foundation concerns. His team were great to work with, hard working, professional and courteous. We could not be happier with the results of this 4 week project. I highly recommend J J Construction for any project. We will be using him on future projects as well such as house painting, and some interior remodeling in the coming year."

"Gold Remodeling did a full basement remodel for us, including framing, drywall, flooring, and a small bathroom. What stood out most was how smooth the process was. No chasing people down, no guessing what was happening next. They explained everything upfront and stuck to the plan. The quality of the work really shows, especially in the details. Our basement went from storage space to a comfortable family room we actually use now."

"We have hired Starlight Remodeling for two projects in the last two years. The first was an upgrade to a main floor bathroom. The second, much bigger job, was a renovation of our daylight basement,which included a major bathroom renovation, new flooring, painting, and lighting installation. Dave was great to work with at all steps of the process. He listened to our goals, offered suggestions, and updated us regularly on progress. He's very responsive. When we discovered a minor issue after the second project was completed, he addressed it promptly. We're also very appreciative of his crew, who were very friendly and skilled. We highly recommend Starlight Remodeling."

"Ryan and his team completed an extensive basement remodel in our 1924 home. The basement work included new framing/drywall, windows (including a large egress window), plumbing and electrical to support a main living space, new bathroom and new laundry room. We also updated our old forced-air HVAC and water heather to new mini-splits and a tankless water heater. This is our second major project with Ryan and we plan to work with him for many years to come. He's incredibly responsive and detail oriented and always plans phases of our projects to support our future plans. Ryan's expertise and quality of work is well worth the cost."

"Highly recommend Lopez Bros Construction for any remodeling and major home repairs. We completed major home repair and remodeling, including bathroom shower repair and remodeling, Kitchen and Living Room ceiling/internal skylight enhancements, Interior and Deck Painting, and Basement Remodeling. Ray has been always going above and beyond in delivering the results. He will make sure the details and end results are perfect. His team's integrity is unquestionable, responsiveness and quality are top notch. Given the multiple projects he's dealing with, his crew still manage to get the repairs and remodeling done on time, as promised. I would hire Lopez Bros Construction again for my next project."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kirkland, 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.
