"My fault that I didn't discuss price first. My daughter and I took pipes apart, cleaned them out and determined the clog was in the wall. Two guys were here an hour and a half and finally broke through the clog with a snake and shop vac. My "sticker shock" comes from the fact that my husband, when he was able, did all the maintenance in the house.... In the tiny space there was to work in, I'm not sure why two people were needed when one could barely fit. I do know that I was charged full for mechanic AND helper. I will do my research before hiring another contractor. Glad to have a free running drain."

"Had a 5 foot long crack in my poured-concrete basement wall. It was not leaking, but I wanted to have it sealed regardless. Alek came on a Saturday, gave me his estimate, and then repaired the wall. He was very forthcoming by explaining that the repair was not absolutely necessary if there was no leakage, but I wanted it sealed anyway. He did a top rate job and I would not hesitate to use his services again."

"Working with Archangel Remodeling was s great experience from beginning to end! Stephen listened to our ideas, guided us through the steps to develop a complete look, and was very responsive to our concerns. And the whole Archangel team really went above and beyond to complete all the work with the highest quality and care. They were friendly, responsive, had great ideas, and helped to keep our changes within a reasonable cost. They also kept the work area as confined as possible and cleaned up before leaving each day. We have now have a bathroom that goes beyond our expectations and we absolutely love it!! We will definitely work with Archangel Remodeling again!"

"I don't recommend Heidler. Last month the internal mechanism in a 16-year-old pressure-assist toilet needed service or replacement (the water had started running constantly after flushing). I set an appointment for Heidler to come the next week and sent a photo of the internal mechanism's product information so the tech could bring parts. Plumber Tom arrived unprepared. He charged $200 for the house visit to diagnose that we needed a new mechanism installed, and said they'd email an estimate as they'd need to order it. We thought there was a mistake when we got the $850 estimate. I called the Heidler office (whose service manager also thought the estimate sounded high) and requested a corrected estimate. We didn't hear from anyone at Heidler again. We watched 20 minutes of youtube videos, bought the $177 mechanism from Amazon, and borrowed a pipe wrench. It took us amateurs 55 minutes to replace the mechanism ourselves. It wasn't difficult. Our opinion is Heidler planned to grossly overcharge us for an easy job."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lothian, MD

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.
