"Gordon’s team did a really good job remodeling my bathroom and my unfinished basement. Their new drywall & flooring installation work great and they did a good job with the plumbing & electrical adjustments I needed done. They cleaned up the mess they made daily and tried to keep the rest of the house clean and dust free. Total cost for both basement & bathroom remodel was $23900. There were some additional remodeling costs that I didn’t budget for initially but Gordon was willing to work with me on making payments for the additional features that were added to the remodel. Overall they are a good company and I’m happy with the work they did."

"We recently had our basement finished by Granzow Home Improvement, and we are so happy with the results. From the very first meeting, Rick impressed us by showing his licenses, references, and clearly demonstrating his care for the project by taking detailed notes to inform his bid. He was the only contractor we met with who provided an honest, competitive, and transparent breakdown of costs. Throughout the project, Rick offered valuable advice and was flexible when unexpected issues arose, always ensuring we were well taken care of. Rick and Bob are hardworking, trustworthy, and dedicated to their craft. The quality of the work is excellent, and the finished space has truly transformed our home! We've already recommended Granzow Home Improvement to others!"

"There are not enough good words to say about Nick, High Quality Contracting's owner. His professionalism, open communication, courteousness, and knowledge far exceeded my expectations. Nick completed my huge home project in a very timely manner and hired only the highest quality professionals — building architect, electrician, HVAC professional, plumber, etc. Nick kept me updated during the construction/remodel regarding the workers coming into my home and set the expectations; he was always conscience of the cost and helped save money by giving excellent alternatives with every purchase. Nick is very easy to work and his vast knowledge allowed him to provide excellent and trustworthy recommendations. My home is absolutely beautiful, I am thrilled with the results! Nick did such a tremendous job three of my friends hired him to complete work in their home. The name of Nick's company High Quality Contracting says it all. He truly has Craftsmanship You Can Trust.

"We were very happy with GR Contracting! They did a fantastic job on finishing our basement. Gordon and his crews were quick from the framing to the finished project. They were meticulous in attention to detail and made some changes that we requested after the project started. Communication was great and the project was finished on time and on budget. I would highly recommend GR Contracting for a basement finishing project. Our basement rooms are beautiful and we are completely satisfied."

"Dave was prompt at returning our initial project inquiry call. Everything went smooth from reviewing the job, quoting the job and the actual work done. This was a new bath exhaust fan, not a replacement which meant cutting into the wall. He did a awesome job! Cannot even tell where the wall was cut. Dave is very professional, kind and great customer service. Highly recommend his services!"

"This repair of a 68 year old home has left me dry as a bone and happy. I had drain tile installed, interior steel beams after the aging block was made plumb again, and exterior drainage and a sump pump installed. I also took the opportunity to get an egress window put in. Things were explained clearly, work was done within the set time frame, and follow-up was done to be sure things were working well. A good experience all around!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Merton, WI

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.
