"Says he guarantees his work but when I called him to report that the hot water pipe was leaking, the showerhead was leaking, and he didn't put a p trap on the drain, he yelled at me and told me to never call him again and hung up on me. The contract said he'd: install new tiles, which he didn't install a new Delta faucet, which he didn't install a bladder, which he didn't install chrome fixtures, which he didn't So, don't think that if you've got a contract you'll be OK because you won't"

"**CAUTION** Be careful when the operators of their big trucks are anywhere near your vehicles. One of their operators drives his truck home in the evenings. Last month he backed into the drivers side of my son's car - hitting it hard enough into the curb to bend the rear sway bar of the opposite side - but he insists he didn't feel anything. I have given this person the benefit of trying to fix it (keeping it away from his employer/insurance and driving record) but he continues to flake out. I have now contacted Power Lifts home base in Texas and they are wanting me to deal directly with the kid who hit my son's car to begin with --- how does any of that make sense? No - that time has expired as I've been too nice and beyond patient up to this point as the car is non-driveable. When you employ someone and they drive your company's vehicles you now become reliable for their actions and damages. It definitely would make me hesitant to ever use a company like this who passes the buck to their employees."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Manhattan, KS

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.
