"We are currently happy with the basement waterproofing and remodeling that was completed! There were issues - most minor but we haven't anything to compare as this was the first-time having contractors complete basement work for us; and our home is almost 100 years old. They were flexible given unexpected issues that came about with the basement. The water proofing was done first and they did a great job. They were happy to review and resolve any remaining questions/concerns and/or issues. Jorge in the service dept. is professional, punctual and is a great representative and asset for this company."

"I have been remodeling my bathroom myself for the last few weeks in my spare time. It was a DIY project that I have been looking forward to for a while and planed on doing all the work myself. I ended up running out of time and I needed to find someone to finish the drywall installation . I called 5 people and out of that, 2 did not contact me back, and 1 did not show on the date agreed on. I ended up choosing Breathtaking Homes because of the quality of communication I had from day 1. Called me back same day of my voicemail , sent me a quote within the same day, responsive communication via email , sent me updates while he was working on the project, and flexible with my schedule. I would definitely use this service again."

"Omar is very professional, respectful and easy to work with. He takes pride in his work and is very reliable. He communiicates and does his best to meet your needs. In the beginning we told him that we wanted to remodel our bathroom and laundry room in time for a big party that we had comming up. Not only did he make it happen, but he did a pretty d*** good job! Our party guests loved the new bathroom so much, one of them even took a shower in it! Lol. I will definily use Omar again for future projects!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Port-Penn, DE

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.
