"Lucero Construction is very professional. They provided a detailed estimate for the work I requested. The team of installers was very efficient. They retiled my 170 Sq ft kitchen in 3 days, which also included shoring up the sub-floor and replacing the old subfloor with new material. I'd use them again."

"Greg is genuine, thoughtful, and hardworking. He installed heat underlayment and new vinyl flooring, plus updated my outdated (1980's) bathroom. I am satisfied with the final outcome for the price!"

"Daniel and his crew did a good job planning and completing the project of adding 500 sq ft to the back of my house. That included demolition of back porch and fireplace, expanding the living room, primary bedroom, primary bathroom and large walk-in closet. We worked well together in the design and execution of my dream home. The best way to communicate with Daniel is by text. "

"Eric and his team were very professional and did an amazing job! We had hardwood flooring installed throughout our new house and new tile put into the kitchen and laundry area. They worked with me every step of the way in figuring out what I wanted and getting it done in a timely manner and at a very reasonable price. Couldn’t be happier with my new floors! Will most definitely be using him for future projects and recommending him to friends and family."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Rio Rancho, NM

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.
