"Exceptional service, very professional, very knowledgeable and honest from the initial contact to finishing the job! Very impressed with this company! My basement now looks great as they sealed the cracks to reduce the radon levels and lined the walls."

"Things I liked: David and his crew were extremely polite, personable, and professional. (The "three ps" of a good contractor.) They were willing to work around my schedule, particularly because of the later start. These guys were fast...like really fast. Got my job done in a day! Everything was explained to me, and I got some instructions on care and limitations of finishing over top of their trenches. They came back to do some brief touch-up work the next day, and left everything clean and tidy. David even worked around some of the goofy stuff in my basement. You know, the stuff you might find in a 100+ year-old house. All of the various drains, services, and pipes were left untouched, which is impressive because some of them were veeeeeery close to the perimeter where they were installing the drain. Lastly, my basement is now dry. Had a deluge of rain immediately following the work and I have not seen a drop! :D Things that could be improved on: Price - I mean, a price can always be lower, but their price is definitely fair for what is included. Their system was more expensive than some of their competitors, but there were several things about it that I preferred over others. Punctuality - The digital appointment card I was sent was for 8 AM so I was under the impression that they would arrive then (or soon after). I called at 9 to check in and was told they'd be there at 12:30 PM. This was not a problem for me, but I wish I had been told that earlier. Granted, the appointment I was sent could have just be left at the default time. Either way, not a big deal, but a bit of miscommunication. Bottom line: David and his crew were excellent. I would hire them again. My basement is dry. :D"

"I called the company on approximately 9/10/12 to ask for an estimate for ceiling texture repair for various areas in my home. Someone came on approximately 9/17/12 to do a walk-through and look at the work we needed to have done. We were told that someone would contact us in a few days with an estimate. I don't know if there was a miscommunication, but we never heard from anyone with an estimate. We didn't try to contact Bob's again, and just hired another company to do the work. <br />"

"The work that Drew Davis and his crew of Better Home Remodelers did, surpassed my expectations. Better Home Remodelers transformed the bathroom by their detailed and beautiful work. Even to this day, I still notice exacting touches they did that now sets my bathroom apart from what I see in most homes. I was out of town for an extended period and they chose colors for the paint and counter top that are stunning. Since the bathroom was finished I've contracted Better Home Remodelers for other services. They are great!"

"We had approached a few service providers to fix leaking skylights in our roof. One tried re-sealing them, but they continued to leak, a few others didn't return our calls or didn't work on skylights. Gary was great -- came out to the house as soon as he could (within days) after our conversation, gave me an idea of everything he would be looking for. Even with a busy summer for nearly all roofing companies in the area, his team came out within a week or so to fix the problem, which he showed to me with pictures when he sent the invoice. Our skylights have stopped leaking! I would recommend this company to others. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Toddville, IA

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.
