"Groundworksâ listened to our input and throughly evaluated the requirements to support the basement walls and prevent water from coming in. They were on time and communicated clearly and timely. The Foreman did an evaluation and recommended a couple changes to the plan that I agreed with and weâ re beneficial. The 3 workers knew what they were doing and worked hard. I appreciate the manner they communicated and they were very friendly. Overall, they did a great job!"

"The crew was on time and quickly loaded the waste and cleaned up the area. The price was exactly what was quoted. Arranging for the hauling was easy, I just sent a text with pictures of the piles to be hauled away, they sent a quote and we scheduled a time. I will use R&R Hauling again."

"I highly recommend this company. They were professional and so easy to work with. We talked briefly about our wants and then scheduled a time to do a walk through to review the job in detail. Nathan came prepared with paint samples in the color we thought we wanted. After the walk through we decided on a completely different shade of paint, Striving For Excellence was more than understanding and accommodating. Even after the change in paint color we had a few additional changes in wants, and Striving For Excellence worked diligently to meet all of our needs. Our schedule has been a little crazy lately and they accommodated the job completion around our schedule, which in some cases was after normal operating hours. The crew is more than professional, they are personable, that is hard to come by with companies. Upon arriving, Cameron, Nathan, Donivon, and Gavin professionally introduced themselves. All of our questions were answered and with their knowledge and expertise, they were able to easily navigate us through not only our needs, but our wants as well. They were prompt and cleaned up behind their selves. All employees were friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond our expectations. This is a company we highly recommend, and will continue to use in the future for all our needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Nickerson, NE

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.
