"I can't speak highly enough of this company and the professionalism of the men who performed the work at our house. The men arrived early every morning as they said they would. At the end of each day, they thoroughly cleaned up the construction area and left when we arrived home from work. The men were very professional and continually attempted to make our house comfortable for us even though there was construction all around us. They were very kind and considerate workers, always open to any additional projects that we added to their workload. They graciously offered to bring our furniture back into the house and arranged it for us. If they left for the day before we arrived at home, they always secured the house. A portion of the work was performed in the master bath. They showed great respect for our space. The men were also very skilled in the work they performed. The flooring looks amazing, the tile work is beautiful, electrical work complicated and perfect, you would never know we had sheetrock work done, and painting looks perfect. In summary, although the price seemed a little high to me (although I'm not an expert in what construction costs should be) the employees and owner of Crestone treated us like their family and completed the work close to their bid amount with professionalism and expert skill. I would not hesitate to hire them again for additional remodeling.

"907 Fix It was able to perform the job when many other agencies were unwilling/too expensive/ or too busy to assist this summer. Chris Skaggs went out of his way to call us and answer all questions we had. Very efficient and economical work."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

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.
