"They are professional and prompt, accurate in their estimate and priced very reasonably. When unsure they ask, they are responsive to feedback and immediately fix anything mentioned. Pleasant to deal with and so respectful! They have now painted our bathrooms, main living rooms and our back deck posts that needed staining. They can handle a variety of painting tasks including removing wallpaper, putting down stain/smell blocker, painting trim and ceiling coffers and brought their own scaffolding. They were great to do additional coats when needed (like taking color to white) and were easy to get a hold of. They cleaned up after and put everything back where they found it. I will be hiring them again when Iâ m ready to paint my basement. I highly recommend this company!"

"I'd been ignoring my rotting falling down garage wall for quite some time. I was finally able to deal with the project and turned to Angi's for assistance. They connected me with a few names but one name contacted me first and I met John Barnett. He came by and checked things out, gave me an estimate and I immediately had a good feeling and hired him then and there. He started the project a week or so later and finished up in a week and did an absolutely beautiful job. Not only did he and his crew completely rebuild the one wall but they went beyond and above and fixed a few other things that they deemed necessary. They were friendly, professional, and kept me in the loop. They even rescued a bluebird nest full of babies that was in the rotting wall. These guys will definitely be my go to guys. Thanks again John."

"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."

"Overall, it was a good experience. AAA put down a vapor barrier and installed a Santa Fe dehumidifier with sump pump. The result is that we can now use the stand-up basement/crawlspace to store things under the house without ruining them. This is the part that you need to know. The installation was not without problems. First, they broke an A/C drain pipe, second, they cut a sprinkler controller wire while running a PVC pipe. Here's my take, accidents happen but how does the business respond to these issues? Well, Donna was very quick to send her team out to correct the problems and they even paid for the damage to the sprinkler system. To me, that's top notch customer service. Any business can make a mistake, but how they handle it is the mark of a good company. Every time I lift the roll door and go into the basement now, I'm amazed at how cool and fresh the air is down there. No more mildew and no more smell."

"Dillon gave a fair price for storm damage to an old structure. He was upfront with schedule and updated with delays. Final result was very satisfactory. All workers were professional. I will contact Stefaniak for future construction needs. So happy with results!"

"Eric Martin Remodeling, is a top notch craftsman. We live in Florida and purchased a rehab house in Tennessee as a Seasonal Home. The house needed work from top to bottom and everything in-between. It was great working with 'one' company and the owner being the 'point' person of all communications. You have to love that part.  

I had over 5 other Angie's list companies bid on the projects Eric Martin Remodeling '''beat them all'''' INCLUDING 'Time' to complete the projects. I can't say enough how happy we are working with him. 

Our remodeling project is not complete but we are 3/4 the way through. Each project completed has been outstanding. 
We will Always use this company for anything to do with our home remodeling needs. 

Our last project is a two car garage so stay tuned.

"We have a large home remodeling project including removing two bathrooms, changing a garage to an entertainment room, opening a kitchen, and rebuilding a deck. Moe is very capable of handling literally anything you need regarding home remodeling and home repair. He is very knowledgeable, honest and punctual. He always goes the extra mile to help us to reach our goals. Talking about the price, honestly, I donâ t think you can find a second company to charge you the same for the same quality of workmanship. Still have questions about their eligibility of doing the work? This company is fully insured, and Moe is fully licensed with TN. Our town is known for its being so strict with building code compliance, yet our project is on the verge of getting a final inspection approval and we are pretty close to get it. I will use Moeâ s service for all our future home improvement projects."

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.
