"Edward Perry did an outstanding job remodeling my bathroom, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented, making sure every aspect of the project was done right. His craftsmanship is excellent—the tile work is flawless, the fixtures were installed perfectly, and the entire space looks modern and refreshed. He kept the area clean during the process, communicated clearly, and stayed on schedule, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Edward to anyone looking for quality remodeling work."

"Luis was professional, prompt, and constantly kept me in the loop about the status of the project, timelines etc. His crew was also professional and did a great job. I hired LM Coatings to paint the doors and trim in my house and to build walls/ceiling and hang drywall in my basement (along with lighting and electrical work). The paint looks beautiful, no drips or runs, and they even tackled difficult areas like around the stairs. The basement looks great and they really did a nice job with finishing the drywall because the walls primed and painted perfectly. I will definitely hire again."

"I couldn’t be more proud and happy with the job of my two bathrooms remodels. John and his construction crew did an amazing job. They didn’t cut any corners and did everything the right way at more than a fair price. I would recommend these guys for any job that you would need done. I can be very picky at times and John and his crew always did what I had ask of them even if it was taking things back down and redoing them the way I wanted them to be done lol. I will highly recommend John and his crew to all my family and friends. John and his crew has been nothing but respectful and hard working and i’m so glad I had the pleasure of meeting him and his guys and will be having them do more work for me in the future."

"I had wanted a lower deck and fenced area for my dog, we worked on ideas and feasibility and costs. I had a large deck and fenced area with black mesh and 48 inches tall on the fence and I added a gate."

"I had flooding in my basement and after the drying and installation of a sump pump system, I needed a lot of reconstruction. This involved replacing carpet with vinyl plank flooring, some framing/drywall work, painting, tiling, etc. As always Mark and his crew did a great job. In addition to making sure all the work was properly completed, everything was also left cleaner than they found it. I really appreciate the attention to detail."

"If you need anything done with your home John Tripp is the man to call. He replaced my bathroom vanity and resealed a toilet for me. Courteous, knowledge, and if he can’t do what you need he’ll refer you to someone that can that is trustworthy and will get the job done right. 5 star company in my humble opinion."

"Jess came over the day I called him and went to work immediately to caulk the flashing and temporarily reattach the rain gutter until he could come back and replace some rotten fascia and attach the gutter. We had some very heavy rain forecast and his temporary fix prevented more damage. He managed to come back a few days later, after the rain, and completed the job. He also cleaned the gutters."

"Alex listened to what I wanted, old deck torn down, and a new one built. Alex went over exactly what he would do for us and gave me his estimate.  The estimate was a very good deal.  As soon as I signed the contract, Alex showed up the next day ready to begin the job. Due to the rain, Alex had to come back the next day and what I like is that Alex kept me fully informed on what he was doing and what his plans were to complete the job. <br /> Alex did exactly what he was hired to do, build a new deck.  Alex made sure our new deck was stronger than our old deck and added additional bracing for no extra charge. <br /> I am very happy with the work that Alex did for me and he will be the first I call for any new construction work I need to have done.  This is the third construction job that Alex has done for me and I am happy with all of the work Alex has done over the past year. <br /> I trust Alex and that is very important to me when I hire someone for construction work. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Blake did a fantastic job in the basement. The job was complicated by discovering extensive water damage but he took care of everything and went above and beyond to finish the job. While the original schedule was out the window because of the water damage, the job was finished in a timely manner with the team working late on several occasions just to get things done. He even added finishing touches that were not included in the contract, and did not charge for them, just to make everything uniform and professional. He was conscientious, polite, considerate and kept the job site as clean as possible which was great as we were living upstairs during the job. I would highly recommend Blake Brothers Contracting and we plan on working with him again next year to remodel the upstairs and kitchen."

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.
