"Emerald Remodeling did a fantastic job helping us take two bedrooms and turn them into a primary suite with bathroom. Jim, the owner of Emerald Remodeling, was very visible throughout the process, checking in on the progress of the project daily. We were very impressed with his communication skills and commitment to completing the project by the deadline. We will definitely hire Emerald Remodeling again!"

"The remodeling went very well. It was completed on the day it was promised. The quality of work is very good. Now I don't have to worry that there maybe water leak on the wall. Ariel was here everyday to oversee the work; his crews are very professional."

"I am very pleased with results of my kitchen remodel project and would gladly hire Craftsman Renovations again anytime. All of the work was first rate and Dex and Mike were both professional and competent. They are very good communicators and I always knew what was to be done next and what I needed to do as well. All of the subcontractors were excellent and treated my property respectfully. Frankly, kitchen remodels can be difficult, but Dex and Mike made the experience as painless as possible. I would recommend them to anyone (and already have done so)."

"I recently had my bathroom remodeled by StoneHearth Remodeling, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team was communicative, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They took the time to understand my vision and offered helpful suggestions along the way that truly elevated the final design. The craftsmanship is top-notch — everything from the tile work to the fixtures looks absolutely stunning and high-end. What really stood out was their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. They treated my home with respect and kept the workspace clean and organized throughout the project. If you’re considering a remodel, I highly recommend StoneHearth Remodeling. They turned my outdated bathroom into a beautiful, spa-like retreat that I now enjoy every single day!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Stillwater, MN

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.
