"Excellent job done by Jeff from Cape home remodel. Everything from start to finish was so professional: he delivers on all his commitments such as price; time of start/finish; quality of materials; cleanliness, etc. Jeff had previously created a family room in half of our basement, which also turned out perfectly. He's the only one we call for remodeling projects."

"Theses guys did an amazing job on our basement that had never been finished. Always showed up on time, cleaned at the end of every day and answered any questions that arose as work progressed. Not that we had many to ask as things were clearly outlined before construction. In addition last spring the replaced our entire top floor decking. Again job was clearly explained and quoted. Finished in time promised and all patio furniture that had been removed was replaced. Will always call this firm for any future jobs/ remodels."

"Philip, Ivan, and Antino painted my stairway walls and master bedroom to include all the trim. They did it all in one day. The coverage was perfect with no prior color bleeding through. They cleaned and swept after. The paint job is absolute perfection. I highly recommend this crew. They do quality professional painting as stated in the name of their business. Tremendously pleased and the price was reasonable. I will always hire this crew for my home."

"My name is Wesley, and I am a military Veteran. I recently utilized my VA Home Loan Benefits to purchase a brand new home for me and my son. Typically, one would not anticipate having any foundation defects or waterproofing issues when purchasing a brand new home. However, this was not the case with us. We had major issues with our basement, every time that it rained. I decided to reach out to CSI for assistance. They came out to my home in Somerset, KY and thoroughly inspected my basement. After assessing what the problem was, they quoted me an exceptionally reasonable price, and within one week; my problem was solved. I am completely satisfied with the quality of service that I received from CSI, and I would recommend this company to anyone in Kentucky who is having issues with the their home's foundation or issues with any type of leaks in your basement. CSI can be reached at (888) 857-0007, or at CSI4385@gmail.com. P.S. Tell'em dat "Big Wes" sent'chu. OORAH!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lexington, KY

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.
