I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.

"I would like to say how much I appreciate the excellent service HealthySpaces has given me. After trying to find and figure out my basement smell problems HealthySpaces came in and started anew. They totally honored my contract and guaranteed their services. I was very satisfied with the hard working personnel. They did great work and cleaned up after themselves I will definitely recommend HealthySpaces with confidence to all homeowners. Thank you for going above and beyond to get my problems repaired.

"Ace Roofing Co, is very deceiving. They have a contract pay in full when the job was completed and not verbal agreement accepted. They billed me end of Dec 2022. But the job wasn't completed until Feb 2023. Then my account was hacked into. So I made payments. The owner asked me to apply for 6 months free finance. Meanwhile, I was continuing communicating with them they will receive $4500 on its way. During this process, out of nowhere, they decided to renege their verbal agreement and paperwork...knowing they had not intended to work with customer. They sent me lawsuit letter and didn't not give me any notice to work something out. I was making monthly payments, first payment $1000. They deliberately hid the second payments so they can note that one payment was paid from Dec to April 2023. Once I provided proofs, suddenly magically they found my missing payment. The job was completed in Feb 23. Payment was paid in March and April. They send one email that I couple respond to. All the other emails, not able to reply. I didn't meet to their threatening letter and because it was short notice, they receive the payments past their goal date. I has asked they would honor their verbal agreement. No response!!!!!!!"

"He did a beautiful job on my shower. His installer originally did a poor job finishing the top of the shower by the crown molding but he was quick to get a carpenter in to correct the issue. He also did my back splash in my kitchen. It is beautiful too. The epoxy on my floor is an entire different story. When his workers originally did the epoxy the lines were uneven and they missed a lot of areas that did not get filled in properly. The epoxy began chipping up shortly afterwards and he told me they would come in and fix it. That was 7 months ago. I have tried calling numerous times. I have left many messages. I have also sent numerous texts to no avail. The cost of my 3 projects was quite expensive. I in the least was owed an explanation as to why he did not back his work. Refusing to call me back is inexcusable. I would not recommend using this company. They DO NOT back their work if there is a problem. Very unprofessional."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mount Vernon, 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.
