"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"I am very pleased with results of my kitchen remodel project and would gladly hire Craftsman Renovations again anytime. All of the work was first rate and Dex and Mike were both professional and competent. They are very good communicators and I always knew what was to be done next and what I needed to do as well. All of the subcontractors were excellent and treated my property respectfully. Frankly, kitchen remodels can be difficult, but Dex and Mike made the experience as painless as possible. I would recommend them to anyone (and already have done so)."

"We had a really good experience with Demahom for our bathroom remodel. They did a great job bringing our vision to life and really captured the look and style we wanted. They were quick, efficient, and easy to work with, and we’re so happy with how everything came together. The finished bathroom feels like us and turned out exactly to our taste. We’d definitely recommend them!"

"Kluy Custom Kitchen Remodel
Problem: Kitchen was small outdated and poorly lit.  It also did not have 200 amp service.
The house is @ 40 years old in a neighbourhood we enjoy and on a lot we really liked. We wanted to open up the kitchen to get more space/storage and upgrade the appliances including bringing in 200 amp service.  We entertain frequently and wanted a guest friendly kitchen. We wanted others to be able to join in the dinner prep fun or
just share a glass of wine and conversation.  
Special considerations: 
We?ve known Dennis, Linda and their son Craig Kluy for years and watched
them go through remodels of their own home and other people?s homes.  It was a concern because we didn?t want the
friendship adversely impacted by this project. 
We?ve seen enough of their work to know they did great things but we?ve
never been a client.  The friendship was
more important than the job and we didn?t want to risk harming it.  However we trusted their honesty, experience
creativity and judgement.  We discussed
our concerns up front with them and decided to do this project with them and we
are so thankful we did! What a fabulous outcome!
Linda first made me measure the existing storage space I had,
including spices so I would know how much I space I had and make sure I
expanded what was really important.  This
was a really good idea.  We discussed my
ideas and they looked at the area and drawings I had done and Dennis provided
the scale floor plan options.   I have
trouble visualizing things so I measured things and taped the measurements on
the floor so I could get a better idea. 
That really helped get a better idea of spaces and work patterns before design
was completed.  
Craig is the creative force that pulled it together and made it sparkle.  His creativity provided many
very classy finishing touches that solved problems. We removed two walls and
opened the area up.  The natural light from existing windows flooded the area and made a wonderfully open space to
work in.  We had tile on the floor originally and replaced it with heated tiles that went beautifully with the
rest of the kitchen.  We loved the heated floor this last winter!  We had enough space to put in a 12 foot island with an induction cook top and a glass island vent.  We also used granite on the counter tops and island.  It?s quite striking!   I have a wonderful pantry area and plenty of storage.  As I said I have trouble visualizing and they helped me preview ideas so
I had a comfort level with the design. Thanks to them I have many many nice features that I would not have
thought of that are practical for the way I cook.  It?s a great working kitchen space!  No space was wasted! One thing I love is the
wonderful work light I now have.  The kitchen is fabulous!  Works great and did I mention that Craig has an excellent eye for color?  He can see a color and visualize the other colors that it works well with it.  It?s a pretty amazing talent!  The wall paint,
granite, and the color of the wood cabinets all go together in a craftsman style and the colors are beautiful!
The actual construction started on Memorial Day weekend 2012 and was finished so we could move in in late September2012.  October saw finishing touches and some adjustments.
I can?t say enough about how well we all worked together and the idea exchange.  Linda has a flair for design and practical application which I was able to appreciate as a Kluy Custom client.  (She is a really fine cook in
her home and we?ve enjoyed invitations to her table with pleasure.   Not only do I have a beautiful kitchen but 2
years later I love it even more!   It?s a great Holiday family gathering place and everyone has a good time.  It works
great every day and for large groups and holidays!  And we didn?t have to build/buy a new house to get it!

"Joe was very responsive and easy to communicate with and did great work. We had a few finishing jobs on basement windows and installing new stairs. He did everything well, provided options, was prompt and clean and it looks great. Would certainly hire him again."

"We needed a door installed between our kitchen and basement. Finest (styled fiNest) Home Services came out and gave a professional and reasonable bid. Their staff was professional and friendly, and this held true on the day of installation. The door is great and my cat is safe. We will be using fiNest again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Newport, MN

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.
