"Kaleb responded to my inquiry right away. He was able to provide a virtual quote after I sent him dimensions and images of both the wall area and tile. He was very responsive and kept me informed from initial contact through completion of the project. I’m very pleased and impressed with his work. He was very meticulous and took his time. Pricing was the best out of all bids I received. Would definitely recommend Crown Point Tile for anyone looking to have tile work done! I know I’ll be using them for future projects."

We did a herringbone pattern on the back wall as well as a large niche. The side walls are a marble tile and we did a single slope shower pan to a line drain on the floor with a small glass hex tile.
The Shower
We build up this tub deck to match the new cast iron tub that was installed. We surrounded it in a 12x24" marble tile.

"I hired this company to demo the concrete in my backyard in order to set up a proper foundation for an ADU. They came and got the job done quickly and removed any excess material associated with the demo."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Signal Hill, CA

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.
