I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.

"Jason was fantastic he is very knowledgeable and tried really hard (I am very picky) to find my perfect bathroom even though I didn't know what I wanted. All of his workers were clean cut and very respectful, so respectful in fact it is the first time my husband has let someone work on our home without him present. A remodel is scary and these guys really helped take away the scare and get me ready for my new amazing bathroom. <br /> I had used a different company in town and they completely messed up my job because they were $200 cheaper...they were cheaper for a reason! I called Jason and he came over before the end of the day and we worked out everything that needed to be done. His billing was on target and didn't hit me with a bunch of extra like the other contractor did. We need more companies like this in our area. <br />"

"Their price was reasonable and it was the lowest bid we got. We have not done the work yet. He was pretty punctual and was only a couple of minutes late for our appointment. My husband met with him and he was pretty punctual about getting a bid back to us. He provided samples of siding strips right away. I worked with him on a previous housing rehab project so I was familiar with him and his work."

"They're excellent but their prices are very high. Their design services are limited. The quality of their work, from what I've seen from their portfolio is unquestionable, but if you're on a budget, they might not be the best option. They make high quality, high end work. If you have a healthy budget, Scheessele and Sons are an excellent choice because they specialize in the high end construction and remodeling business, but if you're on a budget, they are probably not the correct choice for you because they really cater to high end."

"This was the best experience I've had with a contractor. Jeff was friendly and responsive, and his estimate was very reasonable. The quality of his work is outstanding. He seems to have experience in every aspect of home building. He knows his stuff and takes pride in his work. <br /> Jeff is also an honest person; when materials exceeded his initial estimate, he told me about the difference but said that it was his responsibility to stick with the price he gave me. I still paid for the extra amount because I appreciate the honesty and frankly, Jeff's work is worth more than he charges. He went above and beyond. My wife and I are thrilled with the new walkway and with the other improvements he made, and I am already planning to hire him for a flooring project. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Patoka, IN

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.
