"Ben is amazing!  I found his name on Angie's List and he came soon after I called to see what we  wanted done.  There was still snow on the deck! <br /> When he came back to start building, he met with a civil engineer we know to discuss the structure holding up the existing deck (about 10' off the ground) and ended up reinforcing it so it could hold walls and a roof. <br /> We bought 6 skylights and he put them in for us.  When I paid for flooring he said I didn't need that kind and returned it to the lumber yard and bought the correct kind - saving me about $200. <br /> When he was done with the structure and flooring, he returned to put wooden siding against the house where the vinyl siding had been, but first I had him sign the wall underneath.  We are so pleased with the porch and with his precise work.  <br /> If you look at some of the photos at his sight, our porch is shown!"

"Went Well, Looks Great. <br /> <br /> I've Used Greg with Fine Finish Remodel for many years. He has remodeled my kitchen, built some custom cabinets, replaced the old vinyl floor with Oak hardwood.  He has raised my sinking roof line in the attic and created supports to rectify the cause. He has a replaced a shower enclosure in a condo I rent out. He has also fixed the ceiling and replaced the cabinets after a water leak in the condo.  He has always done a quality job at a fair price. I like using Greg at Fine Finish remodel because I know I can trust him to do the job right and not cheat me with sub quality work."

"Top notch professionals. Build it Dan has done an amazing job each time they have done work on our home. Their employees are always on time, and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I absolutely highly recommend Build it Dan for any general or construction needs. We have been lucky to have worked together on several projects and the offer only quality work. Basement - I had great experience with the basement walk in remodeling. From the beginning Build it Dan was transparent with cost and was updated on the schedule. The team is professionals, skilled and always left my house clean. Always available to answer questions and responsive to any additions. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend BID for as my projects you may have. Backyard - they did suck a great job and were quick and efficient. Looks amazing and everyone always compliments the work. The step up was an awesome touch. The entire family is excited with the backyard and can’t wait to continue making memories. Thank you"

"These guys are amazing!!! We ran into unseen problems and Zeb gave me some awesome suggestions and designs to fix it for my new retro kitchen. He also remodeled my barbershop and built a platform which consists of a one of kind industrial rail all around that is more art than function. Let's move to the outside where his crew pays strict attention to detail and design and they then built a inground fire pit which my family has enjoy d very much. His design ideas and attention to date ail and perfection are what will keep me a longtime loyal client. Oh and let's not forget he is my snow removal service as well. This company is truly a one stop place to get everything I need done and he does big or small for me which I appreciate greatly."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in South Hero, VT

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.
