"I can't give enough praise for the work that was done. Work was done in a timely manner and showed up when they said they would. Cleaned up after and I am so pleased with the results. I already had a neighbor interested after looking at the work. I will definitely call ERG construction again should I need any work to be done."

"Chris/CVM Carpentry did a great job converting a closet to a pantry. He took time to help me think through each step of the process, and made practical suggestions that helped give me what I wanted. He was punctual, fairly priced and I felt very comfortable working with him. Would definitely hire again."

"The job was to re-stucco 200 feet of wall and an enclosed patio. It was completed in a timely manner. The workers were respectful and worked steadily with the only break being lunch. Clean up was very through and the price/warranty was fair. The end result was a beautiful wall and patio."

"David and his team did a fantastic job for us. We had a large mold build up in our attic, and David's team did a wonderful job at remediating the problem even though it was a very difficult work space. They always showed up on time, worked hard, were respectful to us and our living conditions, and finished the job within the tight time schedule that we had requested."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Santa Fe, 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.
