"Jose was friendly and professional. My job was not considered large by any means (re-hanging a gate) but he completed it in short order and cleaned up after himself. I really appreciated the fact he wanted to insure I was satisfied with the work because he needed to cut an inch off of the gate.....which I was. I would certainly call him again."

"I recently had them handle a bathroom remodel for me, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were super professional and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. They even gave me some great ideas that I hadn’t thought of, which made the whole project even better. The plumbing work was done flawlessly, and everything worked perfectly from the get-go. The remodel itself looks amazing—you can tell they really pay attention to the small details. Plus, they made sure to clean up after themselves every day, which I really appreciated. They kept me in the loop throughout the whole process, so I always knew what was going on. I would absolutely recommend Monterey Coastal Plumbing and Remodeling to anyone."

"He was very friendly and seemed very reputable. I followed up on his references and everyone had great things to say. After he gave us the preliminary estimate, we said we wanted to proceed forward with getting the contract drawn up and then start the work! <br /> <br /> But then he never got back to us. He finally ended up telling us he had a lot going on. I'm not sure if he's just crazy busy with other jobs, or if something in his personal life came up, but we were pretty disappointed that he was able to commit to doing our project after we decided to go with him. <br /> <br /> From what I've seen, he does great work. He didn't ask for any money or anything, so he's not shady. Just too busy to do our remodel I guess."

"From the moment we contacted them until the job was done they kept us informed and were very helpful.  The inspector and his crew who showed up to do the inspection were very punctual and professional.  They explained everything so that we understood what the problem was, and what the treatment entailed.  We are very satisfied with their services. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Marina, CA

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.
