"Jason completed the basement remodel project for $18.375. He fixed the main beam and reinforced the basement ceiling with well-placed studs and blocking. He enclosed the interior walls with sheetrock and put insulation above the ceiling. I am very happy with the work that was done and highly recommend this man. You will not find a more honest contractor. He goes out of his way to make sure that you understand everything about the project. You will definitely think of Jason as a good friend who has your back."

"My project was fascia repair/replacement. Jack helped me take care of the rotted fascia by replacing the wood, & rewrapping it in metal to prevent any further damage from occurring. His pride in workmanship was outstanding. It is very difficult to findi a contractor with so much skill & know-how to be so diligient & honest . Jack noticed areas that needed attention to & did it at no charge. He left the work area clean after the job was completed. Jack was great to work with & would highly recommend."

"We have used Prop Ready for several big projects so far and will continue to use them. They have remodeled our basement, remodeled and replaced our front porch, back deck and pool fencing, and they built us a custom outdoor swing using an old ski chair lift that we had. All of these projects came out beautifully and the people of Prop Ready are professional, helpful, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with."

"A little delay in getting an estimate, but Brad started the job when promised, remodel looks great. Brad was very accommodating (even walked the dog one day),was extremely neat in picking up at the end of the day, and price was as quoted.Have already hired him for a few more smaller projects. Do ask about a price for removal of construction materials since it may be an additional cost.

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"Net Zero Design deserves the highest praise for their outstanding work on transforming my basement in Vermont from a lackluster storage space into a breathtaking game/media room, complete with an extra bedroom and bathroom. The project exceeded all expectations, turning what was once a seemingly unusable area into the jewel of my home. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence displayed by Net Zero Design throughout the renovation process were truly remarkable. The game/media room is a masterpiece. The team's creative vision and skillful execution have resulted in a space that combines functionality with aesthetics. From custom-built entertainment units to carefully chosen lighting fixtures, every element contributes to the overall ambiance of the room. The addition of an extra bedroom and bathroom has not only increased the livable space in my home but has also added tremendous value. The seamless integration of these new elements into the existing layout showcases the expertise and meticulous planning of the Net Zero Design team. Communication was transparent and efficient throughout the project. They kept me informed of the progress, promptly addressed any concerns, and ensured that the final result aligned with my vision. The transformation was completed within the agreed-upon timeframe, showcasing their commitment to punctuality and professionalism. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of the basement renovation. Net Zero Design has turned what was once a forgotten space into a focal point of my home. If you're looking for a general contractor with a keen eye for design, craftsmanship, and the ability to turn dreams into reality, Net Zero Design is the clear choice. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any home renovation project."

"Jack and his crew did an excellent job. My location is somewhat difficult in several respects. One side of the house faces Lake Champlain and the only access to that side is from the deck. There is no ground on which to stage ladders but they made it work. Parking is also an issue and they were able to bring their trailer and place it in a location that allowed the neighbors access to their property. Sounds confusing but this is "rural Vermont"
The job was a day and half. They cleaned up carefully making sure all nails and old shingles were picked up and removed. Everyone was polite and professional.

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.
