"If trustworthiness and communication are very important to you then Greg is your guy! Our basement took a couple of months to complete. During the process, no more than 2 days went by that Greg wasn't in touch with me and any question I had he responded within minutes if not immediately! (Unlike others that take days to respond if they even respond at all) We are happy with how our basement turned out and we are working with him now on our kitchen reno and then after that we will have him build a garage for us."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had been looking to remodel our master bathroom for the past 3 years. I hired Carlos after his bid came in well below others we reviewed. He promptly started soon after we signed the contract. He covered demo, carpentry, painting, electric, and plumbing work. His tile man did a magnificent job on the whole floor, and the shower walls. His glass man came in and installed custom made shower doors. He was prompt in communicating with me, worked easily with some changes we made to our floor plan, and was consistently on the job each day at the same time. I will use him again on my next project. Working with Carlos was a very positive experience."

"My husband and I were finally ready to take the step of building a garage but didn’t know who to use so submitted a request. Within minutes Scott called to schedule an appointment with us. He came to our home and made sure to have a full understanding of our vision and answered all the questions we had. To our surprise he presented pricing to us in that first visit! We agreed to move forward and within weeks the crew broke ground and began the build, Scott was readily available to assist in anything we needed through the entire process. We still find ourselves shocked at the quality of work performed and in such a timely manner. We love having a safe place for our cars and some storage and would highly recommend Americas Best!"

"Robbie and Angela were great to work with! They were punctual, polite, respectful, organized, efficient, honest, and thorough. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were satisfied. It was so nice knowing that we didn't have to be concerned when we were not at home. They were able to do pretty much everything related to the remodeling. Our kitchen is beautiful! The interior painting looks great, too. I definitely hope to use them again in the future!1"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New Albany, 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.
