Customers say: True professional

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"Retired Vincent to replace hardwood plank to Deck with one with Trex. Vincent ran into more than what he thought he was going to have to do. During the process we discovered a lot of wood rot on some major beams on the deck. Vincent without complaining about the unexpected work replaced all these beams and did a wonderful job. We now know our deck is safe and have a lot more confidence having friends and family over. We couldn't be happier with the work done. Vincent and his helper we're very friendly and professional."

"Excellent contractor! I went with LA Experts Builders on my kitchen and bathroom remodel and it was a great experience to work with them. Nir and his crew were always on time, did everything as they promised and as I requested. There were no issues and project was finished on time. I am completely satisfied with final product, in other words, my new kitchen and bathroom are brilliant!"

"We twice had Guy come out to look at our bedroom remodel. The first time we were stupid and hired a contractor friend of a friend because he was a lower price. We thought we did our due diligence but in the end he totally damaged our home and we are having to file a claim against him with the Contractors State License Board. We totally regretted not hiring Guy to do the job in the first place. After our first contractor walked off the job, Guy came back to give us another look and gave us the same quote even though there was another bathroom to refinish due to the damage caused by the first contractor. In the end we couldn't hire Guy as we did not get the loan for this. We are now in the unfortunate position of hiring individuals to complete this job so we can pay by credit. This review is for Guy as a professional. If we had the money, we would have hired Guy. His is very professional. Guy spends a lot of time explaining everything to you, he writes out everything for you in the quote so there are no issues during the job, he comes ready with a business card, calls you back in good time, etc. These are the things that so few contractors do and it exemplifies his care for the work that he does even though he might not get the job in the end. He is without complaint and I love that in a contractor. For women who are doing the hiring, this is a very important aspect of the job. Too few contractors in general do not respect women even though they are paying them. Guy is not that contractor. He is kind and understanding and he lays everything out for you and really cares. We only wish we had the cash flow to hire him as we expected that we would have had a better outcome in the end."

"Sam is a true pleasure to work with. This was my second time using Bedrock and I wasn't disappointed. In 2014, he remodeled my kitchen and another bathroom and I had to have him back. He checks in daily, makes sure everything is on par with what you want. So responsive, I've never had a moment where I couldn't get a hold of him. Professional in and out."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lake Arrowhead, CA

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.
