"Martin's got it done right, on budget and on time. Martin and Ivan were great to work with. We love our new bathroom and connecting room. They did drywall, flooring, toilet and sink/vanity install."

"Service was great from sales, to installation, to post installation support. Very responsive, very professional. It's hard to find in this 'space'--there are a lot of shady people in basement water damage/repair, and this place exceeded expectations. We've had our repair in place for 4+ years, with only 1 small issue on a wall seam crack, and that was fixed within 24 hours of reporting the issue. Stand up place! Thank you for such great service and support."

"We were very impressed by Lux Renovations from the very beginning. The design and quoting process for our basement gym project was well conducted and professional, easy to follow, and thorough. Unlike other contractors we had an estimate the project, a detailed drawing, selected all materials and colors, and had a detailed cost and timeline while the Lux representative was at our house. The Project Management and build team was excellent to work with. Their work was top notch, clean, and completed on time and budget. We couldn't be happier with our basement home gym."

"Liberty Construction has worked with us on three major projects. The quality of their work is excellent, Mark and Craig have great communication skills, and prices are reasonable. The same highly skilled crew has worked at our house for all projects. They are polite and clean up daily. While Liberty Construction has completed three bathroom remodels for us, the pictures below are before/after photos of our latest project, a kitchen remodel. This project involved a complete demolition and moving walls and doorways. The results are beautiful! Thank you, Liberty Construction - we love our new kitchen!"

"I had my 1960s paneled and drop ceiling basement room remodeled. I cannot tell you how pleased I am at the upgrade. Along the way Gary answered many emails and calls in a timely manner, usually within the hour. He gave me updates of when certain parts of the project would be worked on and made suggests on things that I hadn’t thought about ( like replacing the drafty original windows while construction was happening). He picked out doors and ceiling fans that were perfect since I am not good at decorating. Because GJP has all their own contractors there was no wait time between the remodeling of the walls and the electrical work that needed to be done. All the workers were do polite and diligent and cleaned up the area. I cannot put into words how wonderful the whole process has been and have already given references to friends. "

"We recently worked with H&Y LLC for an addition they built on the back of our home. Yokayra and Heber are definitely a power couple! From their expertise and professionalism to their workmanship and quality products, everything is always 100%. The crew is exceptional, and everyone works very well together. They also renovated our kitchen in the main house and it's absolutely gorgeous! Their customer service is superb. They are always available to answer any questions, address any concerns, and work with you and your budget to execute your vision. We are very pleased with their work and will definitely be using them for future projects. If you need quality work, seriously just give them a call. I promise you will not be disappointed! Thank you all so much!! "

"A job well done. They were communicative, efficient and fast. The qoute for the project was reasonable for the amount of work and damage being repaired. I was in the know from when materials were ordered to the delivery ETA. Once the materials were dropped off at my house, construction started a few days later. And any questions i had was answered and explained. I'll definitely hire for another project."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Newark, DE

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.
