"Sean Claffey of SWC Design & Build recently remodeled my home in Mesa AZ including removing columns and partial walls to open up and brighten the kitchen/dining area.à   The remodel involved replacing the flooring in the entire house and completely replacing everything in the kitchen including all kitchen cabinets, as well as installing a large island with beautiful waterfall quartz countertops.à   The work Sean and his team did exceeded my expectations and they communicated with me every step of the way.à   I highly recommend this team to anyone who is looking for a contractor who is reliable, honest and does top quality work."

"Alex and Donavan were very thorough. Discovered more than what we called them for. We originally wanted information on sealing cracks to eliminate cricket infestation coming through cracks in stem wall. We were not interested in repairing foundation rebar which is typical in slab homes in AZ. They were knowledgeable and honest in their evaluation of our home."

"Cesar was professional and did a great job. He took care to cover things and 'zippered' the room to contain dust. He arrived on time each day and completed the job when he said. The finished product looks fantastic."

"It turned out well. I liked the fact that they were young people but very professional. It was a really good deal. It cost less than buying the stuff at Lowe's and paying someone to install it."

"We Hired Zsolt Vegh to do a full kitchen renovation. New cabinets, new flooring, painting and much more, I would say his work is Flawless. When dealing with Zsolt I found him to be very professional and a good person to deal with. Vegh Contracting was very competitive with his pricing and finished his work on schedule. I would recommend for any job."

"Overall went really well Lawrence and his crew were very communicative. There will always be things that come up in a remodel and because of those things the project did push to the end of the desired timeline. Lawrence and his crew worked hard to make sure they were completed on time. I plan on using them for a kitchen remodel next year."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Phoenix, AZ

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.
