My name is Bill. I'm a 3rd generation contractor and have been doing this for over 30 years. Since I opened Emally's Construction, I have been driven by the knowledge and principles passed down to me by my father and grandfather. Even though the products and technology have changed over the years, the people haven't. Homeowners still want an honest company that does quality work for a reasonable price.This is what we pride ourselves on. If you call for an estimate I'm the person you'll talk to. You get me every time. I have a full crew of talented people that have been with me for years. What I don't have is a salesman. At no point do I want to sell you anything. It's my job to inform you and arm you with knowledge so that you can make the proper decision that's best for you. This is an old school idea that I believe is missing in today's construction world. This means no empty promises. We put a plan together and I make sure it happens the way it's supposed to.

"We worked with this team for our kitchen and bath remodel, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding from start to end. The tile work in both the kitchen and the bathroom floors was absolutely beautiful. The grout lines are clean and even, and the finish looks high-end. Their quality of service was top-notch. The crew showed up on time every day, kept the work area clean, and communicated clearly throughout the process. They explained each step, provided helpful recommendations, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision before moving forward. The work process was smooth and well organized. There were no surprises, delays, or hidden issues."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in South Milwaukee, WI

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.
