"Michael came out to review the project within a few hours of my being connected by telephone to him by "Home Advisor". He started on the job the next day. I appreciated the fact that Michael always picked up my call when I needed to ask a quick question (I was 700 miles away towards the end of the project) The sub flooring in a bathroom was replaced and new carpet and wood flooring installed throughout the house. It looks great. Last but not least- his bill was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend "Mr Honeydo""

"Overall, we are very pleased with Curtis Bros. The suppliers they recommended were a tremendous assist and invaluable in getting exactly what we wanted. Personnel arrived every day as scheduled and on time. Great care was taken to minimize dust, debris, and maintain non-construction areas. Personnel were friendly, courteous, and asked for our input whenever a question or concern arose. Finished product looks fantastic! Advice for folks looking to remodel: 1 - Price out materials ahead of time. 2 - Allow an appropriate amount of time to complete the job."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Reno, NV

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.
