"We were very happy with the quality of work being done. We found Mr. Lang and his team to be very professional and knowledgeable. They were fair and went above and beyond what was required. It's helpful when options are given and explained. Problems were addressed and fixed that hadn't been part of the initial work, but which enhanced the final results. We also found the price charged to be fair. We have had several contractors do interior work, and several who worked on the exterior. Kelly Lang Construction is the first one which we would hire again without reservation, and which we would openly recommend to anyone. <br />"

"All communication was prompt, through, and professional. <br /> He walked threw the property with me showed me areas of concern. As a woman he treated me with respect and talked to me as a client and not a woman who isn't familiar with all the things that are in the home, electrical, foundation, plumbing etc. <br /> He showed me everything that he included in his report and spent the time to make sure i understood. The report with details and pictures were very helpful. <br /> He had previously done an inspection on this home many years ago and actually remembered certain things about the home and was able to tell me some things that had changed since his last inspection and some things that haven't changed. Good to know seeing as home most sellers don't give you a home history upon purchasing it.   <br /> I am a very inquisitive person and that didn't bother him in the slightest. <br /> Out of all the expenses in purchasing a home I feel this was the best money spent. I plan on using him for regular home checkups!!! THANKS!!! <br />"

"<blockquote> <br /> I am in the restaurant business. That means among other things, that I work less than traditional hours. I was at first a little hesitant about having someone I only recently had met in my home to do work when I would not always be there. Because of my complicated schedule I wound up giving Donny a key to my house. I swear that my house was always cleaner after he and his men were there ! And I know that they took the garbage out for me one day ! They did a great job. My son wants to know when those nice men are coming back to do some more stuff around the house. Whatever remodeling work you need done around the house, these guys will do a fantastic job. <br /> </blockquote> <br />"

"I wish I could give a good review, because we worked with the builder to design a unique and lovely home. Before I begin, PLEASE NOTE- if you ask the builder about this review, he will likely give you a story about unfinished payments or such. That was the story we got when we inquired about a previously litigated job, and we decided to give him the benefit of the doubt because he seemed to be a nice guy and good fit for our job. <br /> The job started easily enough and we didn't have many problems in the early stages. We did have to monitor the quality and point out split studs, improperly placed insulation, etc. The crew consisted of nice guys, but there was little quality control done by the contractor. Our daily trips to the site usually consisted of us cleaning up trash, food wrappers, spilled drinks etc. both inside and outside. Malone was not present on the site very often, and many mistakes were overlooked until WE discovered them---toilets installed in the wrong place, ceramic tiles laid crookedly, etc. An entire exterior wall was mistakenly sided with expensive Hardy plank when it was supposed to be stone. Those are things that probably happen with many jobs, so as long as they were corrected we were okay. But when the job was close to finish, suddenly items that had been part of the design became extra charges, and we had to eliminate some features we had assumed all along were part of the house. <br /> I won't go into detail about the last weeks of the job, there was much disagreement and it was very difficult to get our punch list finished. When we closed the mortgage on the house there were still issues that hadn't been addressed, but Malone said that they would be taken care of as warranty items. We were told to let the house and quot;settleand quot; through the winter and spring and then he would see what needed to be repaired. The following summer was one delay after another, and it was 9 months after and quot;completionand quot; that his crew finally came back to do the warranty work. It took several attempts before they managed to repair a ceiling and get it painted correctly, and even now you can see sponge marks and wall paint overlapping the ceiling and vise versa. I contacted him repeatedly to notify him of more issues, including but not limited to cracked drywall, flooring that doesn't reach the baseboard, window sills that are separated and rough, popped drywall nails, many corners of cracked paint with primer showing through....Imagine how stressful for people who lost their home in a fire to discover that the new home's fireplace was installed without a major part, causing damage to the fireplace itself. We chose a high quality vinyl plank floor that resembles distressed wood, but because the cement slab wasn't thoroughly prepped and smoothed the floor shows dips, bumps and even debris that was left under it during installation. <br /> Sadly, instead of returning to finish the warranty items, he simply went AWOL. He refused to answer emails and bluntly decided that he was not going to return or finish the job. There is not a single room in the 3100 sq. ft. home that doesn't have visible issues and flaws. If you decide to use Malone Renovations, I strongly urge you to be present on site every day, checking for quality. Get every single item spelled out in the contract, because a man's word isn't what it used to be. And DO NOT approve payments before you are 100 percent satisfied that every issue is corrected and completed. If you authorize payment and then hope to have the builder return, you will be sadly disappointed."

"The staff at Lowe's was friendly and helpful. We had a guy come and greet us at the door. He showed us what we were looking for, he took us to where we needed to go. He found the person in that section to help us make better choices and decisions. I was impressed."

"There was a crew of at least four there every single day from beginnning to end - they were very curteous, well mannered and sensitive to the emotional devastation our family was going through. The incredible detail and craftsmanship they put into our home was as if they were building it for themselves. The construction site was broom clean every single day so we could walk through and see their progress in the evenings. They were very patient with me as I asked question after question after question - they explained everything they were going to do (and twice when I didn't understand) as the project progressed. I had renovations done to the house several years before and it turned out to be a total nightmare so I was very skeptical about hiring ANYONE. Now I can't imagine ever having a future renovation project without them. I can't say enough good things about them! <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Parkersburg, WV

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.
