"I first employed Chuck 17 years ago for a major house remodel and expansion. That project went well and was completed on time. I have since hired Chuck for many other projects and have recommended him to others. He will also be doing another renovation for me this October 2017"

"John and Chris are the best subs that my partner and I have ever worked with. They do not cut corners and won't leave something that does not have a quality look. They recently installed laminate flooring in our whole house, minus the bathrooms. Their sales woman was patient with us as we went back by their shop 3 times to sample different floor types. While they were working on it we let John know we were interested in redesigning our master bathroom and he already had ideas for us as well. They finished up the floor and it looks great. Have gotten a lot of compliments on it already. John and Chris were able to get started on the bathroom right away once the floors were done and got to a good stopping point. It took us a while to get our plumbing and drywall finished but once those were done they came back out and finished the job up quickly. It looks amazing and they did top quality work. My girlfriend loves the bathroom and spends a lot of time in it! We will be recommending East Mountain Flooring to our friends and family and will use them again when we decide to redo our guest bathroom."

"A hail storm had damaged the roof to my mother's home. I contacted Lawrence Martinez of Villa del Sol for an estimate. He promptly made an appointment and actually kept the appointment. I informed him of the price range I could afford. He priced the work within the limits I had set. Once the replacement propanel was available, Lawrence scheduled a date to commence work. He and his work force showed up at the time he stated. He and his crew worked diligently on my roof until completed. If there was to be a delay, Lawrence promptly phoned and notified me. He kept me in the loop the entire time he worked on my roof. As in any construction activity, accidents do happen. A piece of trim had been stepped on causing a crease in the material. Lawrence immediately notified me and made the appropriate corrections. He and his crew are an honest group which bolstered my confidence in his work and craftsmanship. Lawrence is a general home remodeler. My only experince with him is in the roofing arena. If his other areas of expertise are half of his roofing expertise, I will not hesitate to highly recommend him to others. And, I have recommended to others In short, my experience with Villa del Sol was exceptional: 1) Prompt 2) Affordable 3) Timely 4)Professional 5) Honest 6)Skilled I recommend Villa del Sol highly!!

"We needed someone to install tile around the bathtub at an apartment unit we own. Joey at 2 Daughters Handyman came to the rescue. He quoted us a fair price based on what we could see. However, once he started the work other complications were discovered such as mold behind the existing wall. Joey and his crew were able to take care of each issue and charged us a fair amount for the extra work performed. We were very impressed with his willingness to get the job done in a timely manner. He even went to two or three places on his own to find the tile we wanted. We will definitely use 2 Daughters again and would recommend them to anyone needing his services.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Santa Cruz, 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.
