"I needed a WiFi Bridge from my home to an aircraft hangar I'd constructed, which was about 120 yards distance. I purchased all the required equipment with the intent of doing the installation myself. I reviewed the information on the equipment company's website and viewed several YouTube videos. I realized I most likely couldn't do it. Ben came in within 2 days. Installed the entire system and assisted with the installation of three additional security cameras. I was correct. I could not have done it. Ben did it. Made everything work great and allowed me to have great peace of mind about the hangar. "

At Makari Construction we believe that producing quality work, with financial transparency is the key to a successful contracting company. Unlike many contracting companies, bids and invoices are itemized with labor hours and material receipts so the customer can see where their money was contributed to the completion of a project. And if there is an opportunity to save finances on a budget, those savings are directly reflected on the customers invoice, rather than the contractor keeping that extra profit. We can perform any function from a simple honey-do list, to full remodels and additions. By building our foundation on honesty and transparency, we build stronger relationships with our customers.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Palmer, AK

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.
