"Real well. As a small project with a lot of drive time involved we had to be a little flexible regarding scheduling. But Giant Rocks worked with us and the work was done professionally and we’re very happy with the results."

"We hired Matt and his company to add an additional room in our basement. From the first time he came out to the completion of the project every detail was discussed and completed as promised. Our project was even started and finished weeks ahead of schedule. We will definitely be using them again for some other projects in the near future."

"Building our custom home with this incredible husband-and-wife team was truly the best experience we could have asked for. As the general contractor, he kept the entire build moving quickly and efficiently, yet the quality of the work was flawless—every detail was done with precision. As the designer, she brought creativity, clarity, and so much heart to every decision, helping us see possibilities we never would have imagined on our own. Their communication was fast, clear, and consistent, and it always felt like they wanted us to have our dream home just as much as we did. They were genuinely kind throughout the process and made us feel supported at every step. They also worked closely with us to stay within our budget without sacrificing style or quality. From start to finish, they walked alongside us, going above and beyond in ways that truly set them apart. We are grateful for their dedication, their teamwork, and the beautiful home they helped us create."

"Ryan is very responsive, but a lot of the details (trim, corners, clean up) in the the job were poorly done for the tiles and carpentry. There were some significant mistakes around executing the asked for design that ended up causing delays and costing more money. If you hire him, you should check his crew work routinely so mistakes can be corrected. He is really good at fixing the mistakes while the job is ongoing. Unfortunately, I have been finding things a month later and fixing them now would be cost prohibited."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Papillion, NE

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.
