"Walter and Kevin repaired an upstairs shower that was leaking to the downstairs ceiling. The ceiiling needed to be refinished because of the water stqains that resulted from the leaky shower. The entire job was done in one day. When finished the ceiling looked as if nothing had happened to it. An outstanding job at a reasonable price!!!"

"Before we even decided to hire Comer Construction, Larry came out to our condo in Rehoboth Beach (an hour's drive from his location in Maryland) to estimate the cost. Larry spent an hour in our home discussing our ideas and offering suggestions for improving our plans. He provided a thorough estimate with a clear timeline for performing our work, recommended Kitchen Concepts for our cabinetry & granite countertops, and installed COREtec vinyl plank flooring & a glass tile backsplash that we purchased from another vendor. The work was performed as scheduled over a week and the construction area was cleaned up at the end of each day. Larry was able to compensate for some significant flaws in the structure (uneven floors and ceiling height) to create a professional finished look. When Kitchen Concepts delivered the wrong shelving for our pantry closet, Larry was able to get the correct shelving and installed it within a week even though it meant another 2 hour round trip for what amounted to a 15 minute installation. Larry is a skilled craftsman who approaches the job with honesty and integrity. He was able to do all of the work (cabinetry, flooring, tiling, appliance installation, minor electric wiring & plumbing) without the need of sub-contractors which saved us time and money. We will definitely use Comer Construction for our next project."

"I phoned J.R. Tubbs at around 6:30am after I discovered that I had no water and the temperature outside was well below freezing. He told me to turn off the water pump and water heater at the breaker box and said I would be first on his schedule and he arrived on time and went right to work determining the extent of the damage. The water pump was frozen and the pipes. He got the pipes unfrozen and re-primed the pump, made sure the pressure was good and sprayed foam insulation where it needed additional sealing on the pump house. He was here about 2 1/2 hours and there was no permanent damage to the pump or my pipes. He came and got right to work and I cannot say enough good things about J.R. and the work that he does. He has done other work for me and I will call him again in the future. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mardela Springs, 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.
