"Excellent; I'm really happy that a few hours after listing my painting project that Johnathon called and arranged coming to view the house and work the very next day. His total pricing for all the work was very good. After picking the colors I wanted, Johnathon started painting two days later. His men, Jose and Rob, did excellent detail work. Yes, I highly recommend these people."

"Kitchen remodel was an absolute success! The quality of work and professionalism was outstanding. They were easy to work with and they were open to my ideas. There is no question I would hire them once again, as well as refer them to close friends and family. I want to thank them again for their time, their effort and there honesty."

"Ken does excellent work every time. We worked together on design elements and materials selection and he often would find sources for supplies that were cheaper than the local Home Depot. Ken has a good eye for possibilities on design or practicality during the remodel and I often took his suggestions on how to make a good plan or element even better. His work is consistently of a very high caliber at a very competitive price."

"It was fine. The original design didn’t meet my needs based on the information I provided them. However, they revised the plans which worked out better for me. They were able to get the first draft to me pretty quickly."

"While I ultimately put building the garage on hold, in the mean time I enlisted Emerald City Construction to replace a window with an exterior door. While considering the garage project, Rod really took care to make sure all of the angles were properly considered (permits, etc.) I am new to homeownership and know next to nothing about what it takes for remodel work. Rod was super patient with me and honestly explained all of the pros and cons for each option available. I feel confident that I will be properly prepared when I decide to move forward with a garage, and know I am happy with the work delivered to date."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in South Cle Elum, WA

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.
