"I am so grateful to have had such an excellent contractor. A basement remodel in a 1920s home is always going to have surprises and puzzles to solve. Mike took on the challenge, made awkward spaces more comfortable, and added a bathroom where there was none. He communicated carefully every step of the way, and offered options and great suggestions. His tile work is beautiful and he pays attention to details. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike."

"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!"

"I hired CZ Services to build my new 700 sq.ft. Garage with a full second floor storage area. We have an 1893 Victorian farmhouse and wanted the garage to match our existing home. CZ Services did an amazing job, from working with our architect to getting all the permits and working with the electrician and plumber and concrete guys to give us our garagmahol! We couldn’t be happier with all the work that was performed. We also had them install a new 20x22 deck to replace our 40 year old cedar deck that was there from previous owners. They also did all the landscape surrounding the area incorporating our existing plants into the new landscape. Highly recommend this family owned and run business. Chris, Kelli, CJ and Jonathan are all great people to work with!"

"258 Renovations was great to work with. We needed a bathroom added to our basement, but didn't have walls, plumbing, or anything. The crew worked quickly and Mitch made sure to pull all the proper permits. Further, if there was any sort of issue, Mitch made sure to correct it immediately. 258 Renovations was great to work with and I would hire them again."

"AAARB deserves 5 stars for Ron's friendly phone skills, Mark's quick and accurate estimate, the painters' and the carpenter's fine craftsmanship, problem solving and everyone's excellent customer service. They all made my 60 year old ranch with dated wallpaper, drab paint and original trim (last painted 20+ years ago) now sparkle and shine with Sherwin Williams Extra White (SW 7006) paint. Parts of my basement had never even been painted before. Jimmy did an excellent job caulking in the bathroom. All the painters are great. I will hire them all in a heartbeat for exterior work as soon as weather permits. I appreciate their suggestions, their skill, and the quick pace. Everything went exactly as explained and as planned. They left my house clean and tidy and bright. Excellent work by everyone involved."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lake Geneva, 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.
