"Let me start with the final product... we are absolutely thrilled at how our family room has transformed by this new gorgeous addition. <br /> Mitch and his team did an outstanding job building this unit for us. He was very detail-oriented and worked like a thorough professional. We would say he went above and beyond what was agreed upon and we really appreciate his work. He could have rushed and finished the job within the deadline but he took an extra day to ensure the product was well made! <br /> My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Mitch's Custom Carpentry for any specialized carpentry job. <br />"

"<p>Some red flags were raised (and perhaps should have been heeded) when initial planning SCHEDULED appointments were not met on time and even (admittedly) "forgotten."  </p> <p>Later, when some of the work done was "questioned," things like "...it's just not done that way..." were offered (hint: perhaps it should be done the way the payer WANTS it...!!?).  </p> <p>Riverside Construction acts as a general contractor.  They only do the design, demolition, some final trim, and painting.  The rest of the work is done by hired "partners." The quality of work done by these varies, BUT in their defense, it falls on the general contractor to determine "how it's done" (as, apparently they are well-versed here...?).</p> <p>The design, electrical, plumbing and drywall work was done in an EXCELLENT manner.  The installation of appliances in the kitchen (by Clark of Indy) was also done VERY well (but here again, the SCHEDULING of it was screwed up by Riverside and delayed by several days). </p> <p>So what were the problems?  I basically had to refinish the flooring myself.  The flooring we wanted was the original hardwood floor, which only had to be refinished in the dining room, but in the kitchen had been covered by nailed plywood and carpeted, and later linoleum-tiled.  We LIKED the "stressed" look we'd get after uncovering it, if properly sealed and refinished (which was not done... I had to do it myself).   </p> <p>Quite a bit of the uncovered kitchen flooring had to be taken up and re-nailed.  When this was done, no vapor barrier was installed over the subfloor, and larger "chips" were not puttied/sealed, so you could see light from the basement through them (!).  The cabinets in the kitchen were installed over only subfloor, with not even a plywood cover (nor vapor barrier, as mentioned above). </p> <p>The quartz kitchen counter was installed so there was a considerable gap between it and the refrigerator (because the upper cabinets wouldn't allow the refrigerator any closer).  It was pointed out that perhaps a same-material "lip" should be added to the counter, to not allow crumbs or small items to roll off and fall onto the floor between the lower cabinets and the refrigerator.  This was TOTALLY ignored, so we had no recourse but to contact the counter people directly to remedy the situation.  When Riverside was asked to cover the cost of this repair, they agreed, but with MARKED reluctance.     </p> <p>Reluctance was also displayed and sensed when it had to be demanded that some final clean-up be done.</p> <p>MUCH of the finishing puttying was done quite poorly, and is still either not done or had to be redone.</p> <p>We paid "top-tier" pricing for the remodeling of two rooms.  These are VERY small rooms (~10X12...?).  In the kitchen, the cabinets chosen were less than "top-tier" quality (although they were what we wanted).  No price adjustment was offered.  We had to demand the promised pull-out drawers, as they were installing "stationary" ones in the pantry. </p> <p>Riverside ALWAYS received their installment payments IN FULL AND ON TIME, when demanded.  </p> <p>It is generally felt we GREATLY overpaid for the work done, and we were "dropped" to a great extent when we demanded the kind of attention we thought we were buying.  </p> <p>A "before-and-after" book promised after the work was deemed complete never materialized nor was delivered.  Figures....</p>"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Monticello, IN

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.
