"Juan Adame and his guys were priced competitively and communication with them were great. They replaced the roof, hauled away materials and cleaned up. They had to come back to fix one thing but it was a simple fix and they were there the next day. We were happy with our experience with the company."

"Jiame (pronounced "Jaime") was very accessible and easy to reach.  We made arrangement for him to come to my home and he arrived on time.  I described the job and drew out a very rough sketch for him, and he measured the space and brainstormed ideas with me.  He showed up again a couple of days later at an agreed-upon time, this time with his master carpenter (whose name I do not recall).  The carpenter once again confirmed the measurements.  Within a week, the pair delivered the custom shelves I had asked for.  The shelves were of good quality and nicely stained.  However, the stain had not dried completely and the shelves were not immediately installed.  The pair returned for a third visit, a few days later, and installed the shelves.  The shelves had to be sanded down at the edges in order to snugly and properly fit the space.  They also installed a small granite surface under the shelves which could be used as a desk, along with a small desk drawer under the granite.  Jiame sent me several photos of various granite types to allow me to choose the look I wanted.  The installation itself took a couple of hours.  The finished product looks great and has held up with no issues to date.  I would recommend Jiame and his master carpenter for custom shelving and/or woodwork.  The next time I have a project, I will be calling him again. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mcallen, TX

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.
