"He repaired a small table that was literally falling apart, and that had been in my family for 3 generations. He picked it up, repaired it very nicely, and returned it, all for a reasonable price. He seemed knowlegeable and was personable. My only quibble is that we identified a few other projects (some small, some medium) that we could use his help for, he warned me that his schedule was very busy, just hope he can work us in soon. I certainly see why he is in demand."

"Jack and his team made a reasonable bid for my small kitchen project in the West End of Portland. It was an unusual project in that we only had 1 month to complete the work. Jack delivered the work on time and the work is of high quality. As most projects go we had some small unexpected issues, but Jack communicated well and was able to navigate them and still the project on time. I would highly recommend him and his team for your home renovation projects!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lisbon Falls, ME

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.
