"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"We ended up not doing the job, in general. It was a very good estimate, he was very thorough, it was just a lot higher than we expected. He was very efficient. We would definitely use them again. We just ended up deciding that it was too much money to do the remodel that we wanted to get done. We're actually now going to be selling our house so we're not going to be doing it, in general, at all."

"This project went very smoothly and was handled professionally. Gary came to the house and helped us pick the right size tile for our purpose. The job was scheduled quickly and took only 3 days. The crew, Gary, Roger, and Tim arrived on time every day and worked continuously to complete the work as soon as possible. All three men were knowledgeable, skillful and and friendly. They took the time to point out problems encountered and explained their solution. The end result is beautiful! All grout and stucco match well. I especially like the fact that all demolition material was removed immediately and nothing else at the house was damaged during the work. I highly recommend this team and would definitely use Berkley Construction again in the future. <br />"

"Amazing--Richard came a half hour after I called Oz Electric about sending someone over for an estimate. He happened to be in the neighborhood , stopped by and said it would take less than an hour (they have a one hour minimum). He had the time to do it right then. He had some time left on the hour when he finished cleaning up, and he asked if there was anything else. I had him remove a broken, rusted bulb out of an outdoor fixture. He was friendly and did a great job!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Potrero, CA

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.
