"I mean-the majority of 5 star reviews say it all. Patrick was a delight to work with--and I can truly call him a FRIEND! We hired him to complete our dream master bathroom remodel, as well as remodeling our laundry room. All I can say is-HIRE HIM. Our project went above and beyond our expectations and we are so happy with the outcome. Our project was a large one-including knocking down walls, re-configuring the master bath and laundry room, and installation of a CUSTOM tiled walk in shower. I worked closely with Patrick in picking out every single item, which also allowed me to learn some tricks and skills along the way too. Patrick is one of the nicest humans I've had the pleasure to meet and I would hire him again in a second."

"This is an outstanding business and I would highly recommend them. I hired them several years ago to power wash my sister's huge house which was filthy on the outside. The team hand washed the whole house and worked so hard in 90 degree heat. They took a lot of pride in their work and did an outstanding job. The neighbors would walk by the house afterward and would not be able to put their hand on why it looked so good and when I told them it was because of the power wash that was done they wanted to know who did the work so they could make note of the company if they needed work done in the future. They have also done numerous gutter cleanings on my house and are reasonable priced, very professional, and do a very thorough job. The rep even made sure to get some of the dust from the shingles that had been in my gutter for a while scraped off so that it would not build up even further. I have never had a gutter company do that! I give this company my highest compliments. They are a pleasure to do business with."

"They were great! Rick is very transparent and always kept us up to date on how things were going. They also stayed within the estimate despite problems with the basement floor that led to a longer job and more work. We would hire them again without hesitation."

"We recently had the pleasure of having Time 2 Remodel complete a basement remodel project on our unfinished basement. Since this was our first major renovation, we were somewhat nervous with the process and how it would all turn out. Time 2 Remodel eased those worries early on and for the duration of the project. Curt, Janean, and the entire Time 2 Remodel staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest, and polite. Right from the start, Curt does a fantastic job with the early steps in regards to working with you and with your proposed budget to make a realistic plan to achieve your goals. Janean is then involved throughout that process in regards to bringing that plan to life. We really appreciated the effort Janean took to keep us informed throughout the process. Along the way, she provided us with several options to realize our vision for the basement while still keeping to our intended budget. It also can’t be understated how professional and polite all the Time 2 Remodel subcontractors were who were hired to complete various parts of the project. We researched several contractors for this project, and ultimately chose Time 2 Remodel because we felt that based on our research, they would provide us with a top notch product at a better value than other contractors we were researching for similar overall service. I can say with confidence that Time 2 Remodel fully lived up to those expectations. I would highly recommend Time 2 Remodel to anyone looking to complete a remodeling project, and we will certainly consider them for future projects that we may have."

"We have been using Madtown Homeworks LLC numerous times the past few months, and we nearly always had Jerry helping us. We were so impressed by the breadth of projects he could complete and his focus on good craftsmanship in his work. We also had Mike assigned to help us out once when Jerry was not available, and he was excellent as well. Most of our home improvement projects are now finished, but if another set of projects arise, we would call them again in heartbeat."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Middleton, 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.
