"We purchased a home built in 1967 and Patriot Builders did a complete remodel of the entire home. We took out walls and built new ones, we had a new roof placed, windows were removed from one part of the house and seamlessly built into other places. At every turn, Ryan and his team were friendly, quick, professional, and did a beautiful job! He answered all of my questions, and though I had a lot of idea ideas, Ryan always said “sure we can do that!’ DO NOT HESITATE to trust him for your project big or small. He has painstakingly curated a team of skilled professionals and their work is amazing. Ryan was always a pleasure to work with, showed up when he said he would, returned my calls or texts in a timely manner, and we found him to be very personable and a pleasure to work with."

"From the initial call to request an estimate, to the finished project, I have been very impressed and pleased with this family business. Our kitchen had water damage and we had to replace everything! It was a big project, and they did a remarkable job. I love how my kitchen turned out. Everyone was so polite and friendly and cleaned up after themselves, and you can tell that they care about the quality of their work and take pride in it. If we ever have more projects, they will be our first call! (Don't mind the missing drawers in the pictures - the drawers arrived damaged and we are awaiting replacement.

"John Barnett and his crew completed a project that was started and abandoned by a disreputable workman. Not only was John knowledgable and competent, but he was also dependable and punctual.

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.
