"Kansas renovation and paint did a great job on our exterior painting of our house! Communication throughout the process was great! Prices were fair with compared companies. There was a little confusion initially with what was included with the estimate but wasnâ t a real big deal. The owner and his son were very friendly and respectful of our property and for my wife and I and overall did a great job! I would definitely recommend them for any work that you may need done!"

"My garage/basement wall had water intrusion and cracks. Frank Sullivan came out and provided me with available options and estimates for each solution. I chose to have I-beams installed to the floor joists and seal the cracks. The work was explained before hand and I knew what to expect. The work crew finished in under 4 hours and now I have peace of mind about the support for my home and dry basement for years to come thanks to the warranty. The work crew was excellent."

"Fox Home was wonderful to work with and proposed creative solutions to many aspects of the work. Chris Fox was extremely patient with my constant questions & graciously considered all my unsolicited 'input'. Provided complete & thorough estimates & brainstormed w me ways to reduce costs. Guided me, but allowed me to make final decisions regarding purchase of fixtures, etc. Responded to and adjusted anything relating to my concerns w the work. ( I am a little disappointed in the quality of he paint job on some of the trim work, but they did their best, I think, to correct the issues without completely starting over on this aspect). Made good or corrected any mistakes or miscalculations made by their subcontractors (I was not pleased w the lighting subcontractor). Obviously committed to quality work and customer satisfaction. Total cost (approx 50,000) included custom cabinets and walnut hardwood throughout so could have been considerably less if I had made less expensive demands in that respect. Carefully went over any price adjustments along the way as well as at the end of the project before I paid. Project did take longer than anticipated as is often the case. I would hire Fox Home Innovations again in a skinny minute! 2 1/2 years later we still LOVE our new space!"

"The most professional work I have ever seen! Obviously, with the amount of work that I needed done I was very nervous to chose a contractor. Jim was very understanding of this and constantly updated me on the job progress. My mind was put at ease very quickly when I saw the amount of pride put into their work. From the project manager, to the guys installing, they were very professional, courteous, classy, and cleaned up everyday; highly unlike any other construction company I have ever dealt with. I have heard horror stories of contractors going way over budget, but this was not the case. The price they quoted was the price I paid. Talk about a relief! I cannot hold back telling all the people I meet about Vanguard. I have lived in Manhattan for many years and love being able to support the community members by keeping it local. This is a hidden gem in Manhattan! <br />"

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.
