"Jim has been great to work with. He first trimmed and re-attached a bi-fold door after new wood flooring had been added. The door later broke (not any fault of Jim's) and he promptly returned to fix it. He recently repaired two other doors that had been broken and made one work better than ever. He was quick and efficient and incredibly friendly and trustworthy."

"I responded to an ad in the service directory of the local paper. I called Lonnie and he showed when we agreed, and he was polite and listened. He asked for $1000 up front for materials, scheduled a date, and showed up when he was supposed to. He finished the job two days before deadline. The barn came out very nicely, and he went the extra mile to make sure it was structurally sound. Very nice man."

"I am so glad I selected Paradise Fencing to remove an old chain link fence and install a solid vinyl fence. Everyone I dealt with throughout the project was extremely professional, reliable, and hard working. Matt answered every single question I had concerning the installation process and the product. Once the project started, they worked hard to complete it quickly for me on some very hot days. They even removed unwanted lava rocks for me and hauled away a ton of branches I had cut down earlier in the spring. I just love the fence. It improved the look of the property. I had an appraisal done recently and the fence added to the overall value of the property as well. After the project was completed, Matt contacted me to make sure I was pleased with everything. I could not be more pleased. Matt, Kale, and the rest of the crew really do nice work. I have several other projects that need to be completed and I will be hiring Paradise Fencing in the future. I strongly recommend this company. <br />"

"Rich and his team are amazing! This is our second remodel project with them and I finally got around to doing a review! Rich is very professional and fun to work with. His team was always on time, patient and friendly with the kids and dogs, cleaned up after each work day, and were very good at communicating. It was an absolute pleasure to be working on another project with this team. Thank you Rich for helping us fall back in love with our house. Looking forward to our next project with you and your team. I posted a picture of both projects that MHS completed for us. Before and after. Amazing job!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Laurel, MT

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.
