"Jerry did a great job from start to finish. He listened to our ideas and responded with agreement or with suggestion (which we wanted). He started when he said he would and finished in a timely manner. We could not be any happier with the results - we feel like we're in a spa now."

"Michael Long is our new go to carpenter! We found him on Angie’s List and really can say he is the needle in the haystack. Fantastic, professional work all with the personal touch of working with a small business instead of a big corporate contractor. He shows up, he works hard, he cleans up after every of workday and does things the right way. What else can you ask for? I would recommend Michael to anyone! Won’t go wrong with Longhous Construction! "

"I am very pleased with results of my kitchen remodel project and would gladly hire Craftsman Renovations again anytime. All of the work was first rate and Dex and Mike were both professional and competent. They are very good communicators and I always knew what was to be done next and what I needed to do as well. All of the subcontractors were excellent and treated my property respectfully. Frankly, kitchen remodels can be difficult, but Dex and Mike made the experience as painless as possible. I would recommend them to anyone (and already have done so)."

"Genuine Builds did a fantastic job finishing our entire basement. This was a huge project and we were so impressed with the precision, organization, and execution. Josh was amazing! His craftsmanship and attention to detail is top tier. Whether we needed expert recommendations on layout or executing a creative idea we had for the space, Josh was exceptional. Genuine Builds handled all the framing, tiled a tub/shower, custom trim work, hung all the doors, installed and customized pre-ordered cabinetry, scribed and fit a butcher block countertop, and installed celestial windows. Genuine Builds handled all the contractor work (drywall, plumbing, HVAC, electrician) and helped with deliveries. All the contractors Genuine Building used were very professional and efficient. We cannot recommend Genuine Building and Renovation enough for any project, big or small."

"Just recently had a 48in x 48in egress window installed in our basement. The 2 gentlemen, Caleb & Graham were nothing short of awesome. I'm a retired carpenter and I can say their craftsmanship was second to none. Clean, precise. I was enjoying the perfect gape in our foundation and the framework even before they installed the window, because it was being done properly. Heck, even the hole they dug for the well was precise. Both Caleb & Graham were very friendly, communicative and courteous. Would use again and highly recommend."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in River Falls, WI

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.
