"They are professional and thorough, but there is really no wiggle room if you would like something differently done. Choices in booklet are pretty basic, not a lot of options (for flooring types, door style, trim) This company is like the Anderson Windows of basements. (No doubt they spend a lot on advertising; There is a reason they are the top result when searching!) Expect to pay quite a bit more than you planned, but I knew if I chose them it would be done and warrantied for everything. Sometimes you just want to sign and not worry, and I would definitely pick Finished basements plus if you are in that situation and have the budget."

"We could not be happier with our basement remodel. Jim and Bellacraft transformed it into an exceptional living area with a full bathroom and bedroom. It doesn’t feel like a basement at all. The job went smoothly and you can tell that Jim takes great pride in his work."

Not knowing where to start, Brent provided industry knowledge and experience to help narrow down my options and guide me in the right direction on choosing the right products. Him and his crew were clean and polite during construction process. I was comfortable with them in my home and definitely would recommend them on any project in the future. Thanks High Road!"

"We worked with Rich to remodel our master bath. He was a wonderful resource to help guide us on what would work and not work for this remodel. His suggestions were very thoughtful and helpful. His team was professional and clean. We were so happy with their work that we hired them to help remodel our living room as well. We highly recommend this company."

"Brett DeWeese and his contractors have been amazing! Brett kept us well informed of the contractors and when they would be out. The contractors were very professional and so helpful. DeWeese & Associates did an outstanding job on our basement/bath renovation and we plan on using them again to install an under deck drainage system/ceiling, so we can transform the space into a req room."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in South Lyon, MI

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.
