"TRUST LUIS ? YOU WON?T REGRET IT. I was referred to LMcoatings and worked directly with Luis on my bathroom remodel. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Luis gave a fair quote and truly considered my timeline. I needed to move in before the end of January, and he adjusted the schedule to finish on time, which I really appreciated. He personally helped me select tiles, paint, and fixtures, patiently explaining pros and cons instead of rushing decisions. His crew was professional, detail-oriented, and handled everything from demo and cleanup to tile work, plumbing, and structural reinforcement. What impressed me most was the quality of work you don?t see ? everything underneath was done properly. Remodeling requires trust, and Luis delivered a solid, beautiful result. I highly recommend Luis and LMcoatings."

"We hired Ryan Seely, Patriot Builders, LLC, under a contract promising workmanship ?equal to or superior to? competitors and a one-year warranty. ?Substantial completion? was never formally communicated, and our only blue-tape walkthrough was 2/17/25?well after the contractor claimed completion. Numerous items were unfinished or defective, including trim/paint, laundry floor (miscut), deck/porch staining, exterior soffit paint, drainage (re-excavated), and incorrect paint in the master bath/WC. MORE SERIOUSLY, structural/plan compliance issues were discovered: incorrect wall heights and framing installed at 16" o.c. where the stamped plans required 12" o.c. The concrete patio also has improper slope, low spots that pool water, and cracking. The contractor later wrote that he would not return - DESPITE the "one-year warranty". We incurred costs to correct/complete work and have filed a complaint with the state board. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!"

"I had Premier Handyman install a Tesla wall charger for me along with another breaker for it and they were excellent as well as extremely fast! This wasn't the first instance I've used the company and they always do exactly what they say, when they say and at an affordable price for such quality work! I would highly recommend using The Premier Handyman for any services; electrical, plumbing, carpentry, roofing, you name it. The owner has an honest company that provides good work for the community."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Oak Ridge, TN

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.
