"We hired Sam for several drywall jobs, including one emergency repair and a major remodel of two rooms. Sam was always professional, friendly, and pleasure to work with. He took exceptional care to not scratch our floors and pricing was always fair. On one occasion, there was a miscommunication regarding scope of work. Sam immediately took responsibility and completed the additional work, including purchasing the supplies out of pocket. We look forward to continuing to work with Sam and highly recommend him. :-)"

Burris Plumbing Inc. was established in San Diego by Charles "Bud" Burris in 1973. Our company has been family owned and operated for almost 40 years and is now controlled by family partners Charles "Charlie" Burris Jr and Mark Burris. Our main goal has always been to continue on with Buds complete dedication to providing a quality of work far above normal expectations. We treat building million dollar custom homes with the same care and expertise as a simple home repair or drain cleaning. We are always up front with our prices and they are always reasonable and more than competitive. We currently have a staff dedicated to being on time and working efficiently, being clean and respectful, and most importantly, honest! Bud wouldn't have it any other way. Usually Charlie Jr. and Mark (owners) are actually doing the work, but if they are unable to be there, you will always meet or talk to them before a job begins just to ensure the plan and price are to your liking. Just ask around, our reputation speaks for itself. We never let our expertise go to waste by never selecting jobs only based on size. We are not limited to anything, but some of our areas of focus are custom homes and remodels, and smaller projects such as drain cleaning and unclogging, water heater repair and replacement, toilet repairs and replacements, kitchen faucet replacements, garbage disposal repair and replacements, bathroom faucet replacements, shower valve and fixture replacements, complete home re-pipes, and gas leak repairs.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in National City, CA

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.
