"Paul was great to work with. We hired him to finish our basement, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and reliable throughout the project. All work was completed on schedule and to a high standard using trusted subcontractors. Since we live in San Diego and couldn’t be onsite, his honesty and dependability meant a lot to us. We’d highly recommend him."

"Great company! I will absolutely be hiring them again to do my kitchen in the future. From the beginning they were very professional and knowledgeable. I had never hired a contractor before and wasn’t sure what to expect and they were great at explaining and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Fair prices and very nice work. "

"Beautiful work done by people who care. I had an old deck torn out and a new one built. The work is impeccable. Rob was accommodating as far as changes and special requests. His crew was on time and very easy to work with. Good communication and close attention to detail. I love my new deck. I will certainly hire them again."

"Adam M completely assembled my new rocker recliner chair with massage feature in a most professional and efficient manner. Initially he even dismantled my defective chair and boxed it up for me to have it prepared for the pickup return to Walmart. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam M (and his Elite Enclosures LLC). I plan on calling upon Adam M in the next couple weeks for another project. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Salem, OR

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.
