"I get them for everything they do. I know the owner personally, and I have used them for about fifteen years now off and on. They are not the cheapest folks in the world, but when they do a job, it is done right. I had some problems with one skylight outside the warranty period and the owner came out himself. He got up there, looked at it, and cleaned out some debris that had accumulated. He got a hose up, washed it down, and blew it all out. I never had a problem with it since, and that was two or three years after warranty. He assured me that it did not need replacing. They do not do unnecessary work. That impressed me. I like everything about their service and everything about their people. They are on time. They do what they say they are going to do. They are very conscientious. The workmen clean up after themselves. Anything you want out of a construction company, these guys do it well."

"Tom is fantastic. His work is flawless, he's professional and courteous, and his considerable experience provides the added benefit of excellent design recommendations. He is also very willing to serve as an intermediary with suppliers if necessary. We highly recommend him, but hope you don't hire him so that he's never too busy to help us with our projects!"

"I was thrilled with the work Anthony's Remodeling did. My realtor advised in order to get top dollar for my townhouse, i needed to remodel before she would list my property. Anthony's Remodeling gave me advice and the best options to fit my budget and what items to do in order to sell my home in this market. He was very affordable. Has excellent work ethic. He worked hard to finish in time to list my home. I sold in 1 week for full ask even though the market is not great. Wow. Definitely using on my new purchased home. A+++++++++++++++ I will attach before and after pictures."

"CS Construction did an outstanding job on my project. Samir Mammadov, the owner, is a true professional. He provided an accurate estimate on my kitchen remodel and laundry room tile floor installation. The kitchen was remodeled from top to bottom and came out beautifully, as did the laundry room floor. Sam is very personable and provided an accurate estimate at our first meeting and did a fine job guiding me through the whole project. He met with me at the wholesaler to pick out the kitchen cabinets and counter top. Sam and his crew were personable, on time, and did excellent detailed work. Sam really knows his craft in all aspects of the job. I am very pleased and recommend CS Construction very highly."

"After getting estimates from other garage floor companies in the area, we decided to go with GarageExperts of Mid Atlantic who did an amazing job on our garage floor, foundation wall, and steps. They were also less expensive than the other quotes we received. We are very happy with our newly renovated garage and strongly recommend GarageExperts of Mid Atlantic!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Newark, MD

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.
