"They did an amazing job and answered all my questions. Spent a lot of time making my bathroom accessible for my mother in law. And they made the shower ADA compliant. "

"Ben is very good at construction and remodeling. He spent a whole month with us so far, turning a shell of a room into an Airbnb in our home. He arrives promptly every day, is very much on top of everything, and is a good planner and organizer. The room looks great so far."

"Chad was phenomenal! He communicated every step of the way what he would be doing (and it's crazy I even have to point this out, but he always showed up when he said he would), went above and beyond in lending assistance and expertise to other tradesmen on the project, kept the necessary inspections rolling, he and his crew cleaned up daily, the list goes on and on! I don't take recommendations lightly and I would most certainly put my name behind Chad's work any day of the week! We are so happy with our inground pool and will hire him again for any project without hesitation. He was a true blessing with what could have been a more stressful project!"

"Incredible work in a timely and custom focused manner. We remodeled our basement taking an awkward Ryan Homes floor plan and crafting it to a new thetre and entertainment area for the kids. The project manager partnered with me on design ideas, ensured I knew all costs baked in with no surprises, explained their process and utilized their highly certified and professional project team. You can tell the project team has worked many years together as they all stayed in step and ensure a quality product. Hire this team. You will not be sorry!"

"Great Lakes Painting and Construction did an amazing job remodeling my entire living space, including two bedrooms, kitchen, living and dining areas, as well as closets. They repaired drywall damage that was a result of water damage and restoration, painted, and replaced the entire floor. They work carefully and thoroughly, and clean up so well after themselves each day that I could continue living in my space in the evening at the end of each of their workdays. They are responsive and curious, and above all have great integrity and professionalism. You cannot go wrong with Bob and his crew."

"Matt was super professional all the way through the process, from signing the contract at a fair and agreed on price that fit my budget all the way through completion of the job in a little over 2 weeks. My concerns over some drywall seams that were showing after painting were met with a willingness to fix the problem. He made things right even though it delayed him by a couple of days after fixing and repainting with a different kind of paint. He fixed another issue we had with doorknobs and hinge coloring without any problems at all and was totally professional about it all. And his entire crew was just great, answering all my questions and concerns every time I had one. They never acted annoyed with me looking over their shoulders. Chris even helped me move my couch and organ back into the room which saved my bad back. I would recommend Renewal Renovations to anyone looking for quality job at a fair price. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Rocky River, OH

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.
