"We recently had our basement remodeled by Owens Corning, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team was professional, organized, and genuinely great to work with every step of the way. What impressed us most was their commitment to the timeline. Not only did they keep to the schedule they promised, they actually finished earlier than expected—which almost never happens with home projects! Communication was clear throughout the process, and every member of the crew treated our home with care and respect. The final result exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and overall quality of the finished space turned our basement into something far better than we had even hoped for. It truly feels like a completely new part of our home. If you’re considering a basement remodel, we highly recommend Owens Corning. Working with such a professional and reliable team made what could have been a stressful project an enjoyable one!"

"When we started our plan of remodeling, the first thing we did was the complete roof replacement including kitchen vent & duct pipe installation to the roof, and new installation of attic ventilation. MMP did not only completed it just as agreed but also very efficiently. The crews were friendly, professional, and careful. The jobs were carefully managed and implemented effectively. I was impressed by Matt, who is the manager, and he does an outstanding job in managing the crews and the progress of the situation, and the communication was clear and always to the point. We then moved to initiate a search for a contractor of two bathrooms remodeling after completing the roof and attic vent, MMP was one of the many candidates. Matt has had not only the best idea and proposals but also shown an impressive & professional sense of evaluating the project accurately, including the possible structural modification as well as a competitive estimate of the cost of the build. His proposal included a rebuild of a wall of the bathroom to expand another one adjacent to it. Matt accepted to use my schematic design image (made with a software tool) and a spreadsheet list of the fixtures that I created - as many as fifty items including TOTO, Grohe, American Standard, Panasonic, and IKEA - to start the job (later changed some of them due to local plumbing code compliance) After beginning the bathroom remodel project, Matt shared what jobs will be done with us timely and efficiently via text so that we feel comfortable enough in knowing what is going on while living in the house of dust & noise from remodeling. The crews, Zen and Mark, were very courteous, extensively experienced, reliable, and friendly with excellent communication, sometimes with songs of 80s rock music. They ask me when more precise specifications are needed and notified me when they feel advance notifications are required. When a change is necessary due to inspection, they informed me and clarified what and why. I have never felt uncomfortable in living together with the remodel job which has lasted over four months. The completed two bathrooms were stunning, just as I imagined. Matt, Zen, and Mark have proved their strong & thoughtful expertise and lived up with my request patiently until completion. Great job. A home remodeling project cannot be successful without having a trusted partner, and my experience with MMP has led me to be glad to share my confidence that MMP has a credential to become your reliable partner to manage a construction project together."

"Derik and his team were amazing to work with. We refreshed our kitchen and remodeled our basement- both projects we’ve been wanting to do since moving in. This was our first major project as first time homeowners and Derik listened to all of our concerns and answered all of our questions. Our home has completely transformed and we couldn’t be happier with the work. High quality, attention to detail, top notch customer service. Would highly recommend this company to a friend."

"They came to rebuild our back porch. It came out so good that we asked them if they could do the front one too! They did! Both turned out great. People walking by say “Your house looks terrific!” My neighbor who is very picky had a look as things progressed on each one and told us “This is a top notch job” We were kept advised about every facet of things in a group chat that Ryan set up — and any questions were answered quickly. The work is great. The outcome is exactly what we asked for and more. The price was fair and reasonable. The workers were all cordial and efficient. The yard was left clean and tidy upon completion. We are using both porches and love them. Only complaint we have is why didn’t we do this earlier. We will do business with Level Builders again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Swampscott, MA

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.
