"Lisa is a genius! With creativity and precision, she maximized every nook and cranny of our tiny 1906 cottage and brought it into the 21st century, while maintaining its original charm and character. Our "new" home is so much more functional now, and a delight to live and work in. Lisa took the lead on our projects (kitchen, bathroom, basement), but Adam is equally savvy. Both are fantastic listeners, brainstormers, collaborators, total professionals and all-around lovely human beings. We highly recommend Christie Architecture, and look forward to working with them again in the future!"

"They did a real good job. They were real professional. We can now open the garage door from the inside of the house and now it is so smooth that we have to check to see if we hit the button to open it or close it.  Before we used to know when it was opening or closing because it used to make a noise. It helps when you move to a city where you are new. "

"Working with Green Rising Construction is fantastic.  Owner, Robin Wengert, is professional, talented, honest, and believes in making his clients happy.  ** First Project - For my experience with my entry way front door - Robin worked with me to come up with a design plan that exceeded my expectations.  His craftsmanship is flawless.  My entry hall originally had glass blocks in the wall about 6" away from the trim on the front door.  They have always bothered me, as the look was incomplete.  Robin designed a surround for the front door and glass blocks that is a solid framework and makes the entry way appear as one piece.  He even gave my front door a little "facelift" by applying some of the stain to it, that he had used on the framework.  It is that extra attention to detail which I so appreciate.  My entry hall is a piece of artwork now and I've received numerous compliments on how spectacular and warm it now appears.  ** Second Project - I have always wanted an area for working on my crafts.  Since my previous experience with Green Rising Construction was so positive, I called upon Robin to lend his expertise in creating a craft area in my family room.  Up until that point I had shelves and tables piled high with sewing, scrapbooking and rubber stamping projects.  Having everything laying out in that manner does not make for an inviting workspace.  Robin assisted me in purchasing cabinets and countertops, and he then created an inviting workspace for me that allows me to "hide" my projects and supplies when I'm not working on them - and it affords me so much more counterspace for working on my craft projects.  The results are amazing, and I'm truly thrilled. In the past I had worked with a different contractor, and I was not pleased with the experience.  I felt we were misled and that we weren't treated honestly or fairly.  However, working with Green Rising Construction was wonderful, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor.  Robin Wengert has an excellent work ethic, which is a trait that I highly value.  His high standards are evident in his work.  He is honest and easy to work with.  His design work is creative and he has the ability to look at a project from several aspects in order to present his clients with workable options.  Although my projects were what I would consider to be small, Robin treated us with respect and demonstrated that we were valued for our business.  He helped to make two areas of my home more beautiful and liveable and I am truly grateful.  I will continue to use Green Rising Construction for all of my future home needs - and I hope you will too!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Ontario, OR

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.
