"After receiving three bids, we decided to work with Brad and Lauri of Carpentry Plus and we are so glad we did. The remodel was comprised of about 2/3 of our downstairs space including the kitchen, dining room, laundry room, 1/2 bath and the adjoining hallway, plus the flooring in our foyer and sunporch. We were extremely happy with the quality of their work, the consistent professionalism and thoughtful care and advice as we worked through a complex project. The work included removal of walls, reworking air runs, lots of wood working including matching colors, installing new cabinets and countertops, new flooring, paint, electrical, plumbing and new windows. Carpentry Plus provided many great ideas, was flexible, which was necessary as the project took place during the COVID-19 shut-down and treated our project as if it was their own home. We have already signed up for some additional projects with them and expect that Carpentry Plus to be our go-to contractor in the future."

"I would (and will) hire Rick again to work on our home improvement needs. Rick handled everything with knowledge, good workmanship, professionalism, caring, etc. He was always on time, always up front about things and very easy to talk to. This was our first venture into a major home improvement, and we had a lot of questions. Rick was always both willing and able to answer our questions. I was due to have our second baby at the beginning of September and Rick knew I wanted this project completed before then - if at all possible. Everything that depended on Rick, was completed. (Things dependent on my husband and I making up our minds - not so much - hence the November completion date.) <br /> We're very happy with our finished basement, with the quality, the aesthetics, etc. For me, when I read these reviews, it always speaks volumes if the homeowner is willing to rehire. As I mentioned above, I would definitely rehire Rick. As I was typing this review, my husband asked what I was doing. I told him I was finally finishing the review for Bay Ridge Development on Angie's List. He was happy I was finally doing this review (yes, I know it's over a year old), but more importantly, he instantly stated that we need to call Rick to start working on....and began listing multiple projects. I think that says it all. <br />"

"<p>We contacted Terin Wales on May 2014 and he was there within hours to see what we wanted done on our cabin. The next week, Memorial Day Weekend he contacted us to show us an estimate for a 24 x 28 garage. My husband told him we would like it done by the fourth of July and Terin said all things considered he would try, cement had to be poured, weather conditions, whatever is under the ground in this heavily wooded area....Long story short the cement held up the project by a few days as the were tons of rocks and tree roots that had to be removed...along with that and his other jobs he and his crew kept in touch with us throughout the project as we were only there a couple of weekends. He did an excellent job matching the existing shingle on the end where he added the garage (we built the cabin over several years and didn't match as well). </p> <p>We were so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism not to mention attention to detail, that we hired him and his crew to build a roof over the entire rest of the cabin. We had an addition that had a shallow pitch to the roof over it and wanted to have a steeper pitch. We contacted Terin again in May for the job to be done by the 4th. Each rafter goes from the peak to the front wall with supports to keep the weight even throughout. They did an excellent job again finishing a week early. This job included matching the T-11 siding grooves down to a millimeter. We happened to be there when they were finishing up one day and they pick up everything....any nails on the ground any scrap of wood. We would highly recommend Terin and his guys as they do a great job.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Manton, MI

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.
