"My son and I bought a house in Bozeman. Darren converted a basement utility room into a beautiful secondary kitchen. He was easy and straightforward to work with and we were thrilled with the results. A couple of years later, my son had a refrigerator leak that caused extensive damage to the kitchen upstairs and downstairs. This incident was compounded by a back up in the downstairs sewer line ruining the bathroom tile and flooring in the in several rooms downstairs. A restoration company I had been working with totally ignored us for months! In desperation, I contacted Darren and he stepped right in and came to our rescue. He communicated effectively and quickly with our insurance agent and with us. He restored all the areas in a matter of weeks to new condition. I can’t recommend Darren enough. If you are looking for: *Value for your money, *Skilled and quality workmanship, *Integrity, honesty, and respect, then Darren is your man."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Livingston, 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.
