"Things were done in a timely fashion for a reasonable price. Dave had to be creative as he was modifying someone else's sub-standard work. He did a nice job without tearing everything out and starting again. Was satisfied with that work, so asked that he build this little counter top desk in a small alcove in the basement. Another contractor had said he would do, but never showed up. I guessed it was not a big enough job. No problem for Dave. Got it done then came back to put another coat of finish on it because he wasn’t satisfied. My sense is that he has a real and personal appreciation for quality and workmanship."

"The deck is a upper deck with a large stairway made from cedar, they did all the work including the measurements, I just provided my plans and supplied the materials. It turned out beautiful! My shed is a 15x10 foot out door shed that I wanted built to match my house. I am very happy with the way it turned out. They were always there on time everyday and left the job site daily clean and safe."

"Extremely professional and attentive to our wishes. We went over budget for the things that we wanted, but they worked with us and we were able to get everything done with a very reasonable price. The work that was done was top quality, and on schedule. I have only good things to say. Very easy to work with and they made everything easy to understand. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Nikiski, AK

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.
