"Larry knew exactly what we needed. He was calm when problems came up, delivered above and beyond. He repaired problems after we signed off with no charge. He hires good talent who are also personable. I have referred him to several friends and he is now working with my brother's home. Can't say enough good things about him."

"I wanted to build an addition for a better master suite and enlarge my living room. Wolf Creek supplied me with computer generated images of the layout they suggested. My living room now fits all the furniture I want. The master suite checks all the boxes. An organized walk in closet. A beautiful and spacious bathroom and plenty of room around my king size bed. A huge thanks to the team at Wolf Creek. "

"We love the look and functionality of our new kid bathroom, and the price felt fair - more than planned, but worth it. Our salesperson was new and very pleasant, doing his best throughout. The crew was fantastic: clean, kind, and respectful in our home. The design process was a bit challenging, and we had to advocate for what we wanted, but the end result reflects our vision. A few communication hiccups caused delays, and some finishing touches needed rework, but everything was resolved. Overall, we’re happy with the outcome and would consider using them again, while also exploring options for smoother service."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Minneapolis, MN

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.
