"Very well. The Curtiss and the One Source KC folks were great. The showed up bright and early on the appointed day and were ready to work. Curt's employees were friendly, personable and more important...NEAT and TIDY. They didn't track mud all over the house and they did a great job cleaning up all the concrete saw dust. I was very pleased. The window is perfect. We are very happy."

"Originally hired for kitchen remodel. Went so well, we hired for our bath and again for our family room remodels. They were always on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. The estimates were spot on for the total bill. Ran into unforeseen problems on the bathroom remodel, they worked the weekend to finish the project on date promised. Very pleased with quality of the work and would recommend to anyone for a remodel. Ask for Robert, he is very friendly and honest. Even my cat loved him."

"I purchased a coupon for 4 hours of work through Angie's List. The provider showed up on time and completed the project without any issues. The interior door had been installed by someone with no carpentry experience and the provider was able to make the door look and function like new again. The coupon was well worth it and I will be contacting him in the future for our handyman needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Paola, KS

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.
