"Leo and his team did a great job on our new deck. Very professional and accessible (always responded immediately to calls and emails). Used creative ideas and worked with my ideas also. Much appreciated. Would definitely hire them again for any future projects."

"They aded a downstairs bathroom and bedroom to our house as well as walk out deck with pavers. They were prompt, thorough, and had excellent communication. They did the architectural and the interior design as well as the construction.. Could not be more pleased. When minor issues arose, they were addressed quickly. They were careful to review details like stain color, paver layout, paint color, etc carefully with us before starting work, and provided lots of options and samples. If we found we wanted something changed, they addressed it quickly. Would highly recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"Chris was very responsive with the bid and for other questions, and he and the crew were always punctual. Overall communication was way better than expected. The work crew was as unobtrusive as possible (for a very noisy couple of bathroom remodels) and were very respectful and hard-working. The quality of the work was very pleasing. Every time a decision needed to be made they were able to give good advice."

"Right off the bat, Jack and Max (the installers) let my two yappy dogs interrogate them and decide if they were safe to come into my home. They took a few minutes to pet and talk to them which makes for a much quieter and peaceful day. The removal of my old furnace and the installation of the new one was quick, smooth, and done before I expected. Karl had come out and given us a bid previously, he too was interrogated by the dogs, and that was a pleasant experience as well. The price seemed fair, and once we decided to move forward it was a smooth fast process."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lynden, WA

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.
