"David Scott worked with a fellow Handyman, Albert Coffey, and they completed the project in a little less than 9 weeks. The final outcome exceeds our expectations and it wasn't even as much of a disruption from our normal life as I would've thought. Our house looks so amazing! And the work done was incredibly high quality. Our project required a lot of creativity and problem solving and David and Albert were always willing to do whatever was needed to respond to issues, fix a problem, and ensure we loved the work. They worked hard each day and were always extremely friendly and professional (for example, my 3-year old son would run up and hug David whenever he saw him (this isn't typical)). David and Albert built a custom dog crate in our half wall that is topped with a butcher block counter top. They designed windows and built the door from scratch. Their tile work inside the dog crate, in the new entry way, and all over the fireplace was very well done. It all looks great. David and Albert regularly went above and beyond! Early in the project we noticed a leak in our roof and Albert and David got up on the roof the next day, found the nail that had punctured our shingles, and filled the hole. During the project we also had a major pipe leak in our laundry room. David and Albert spent multiple days ripping up the floor, removing drywall, fixing the pipe leak, and then patching it all back together. The last owner did several renovation projects and they were done very poorly - as these things are breaking and falling apart, we'll be calling David and Albert to do it right. All in all, we have already reached out to David and Albert to do a shower repair (as the bathroom upgrade the last owner did is now leaking into the basement). We have complete confidence in their quality of work, responsiveness to provide us a quote and get started, and also their honesty as people to provide us a fair quote and to stand behind their contract and their work. At the end of the project we noticed a lot of drywall dust around our house and David and Albert offered to deduct the cost of cleaning from our final bill because it was more than anticipated. They are just very good people. We highly recommend them for any renovation or custom project - no matter how large or how small. The project cost us about $39,000. After the project was over we called David on a Saturday afternoon because we were having issues installing a mantle on the fireplace ourselves - our drill was just not getting through the brick. David drove over in about 30 minutes and had all his tools in his truck. He then worked with us for about an hour and solved two major issues we were having with both the mantle and the counter top. He didn't expect any compensation and even called later to tell me I had voluntarily given him too much."

"WoW!! I would like to report how Impressed I am with the whole package! I felt like everyone involved in my project wanted to make sure that I was able to get the best service and experience as possible. First and foremost, I would like to brag on the crew that seen my project successfully to the end. They were the most precise professionals I have ever had the privilege of working on my home. Yes, " the privilege of"! Robert and Shawn were adamant about completing this project with the absolute purpose in mind. That gave me total confidence! Secondly the salesman Mike had no problems backing up these men and their professional opinions. Even more, the company showed its support in their team and making sure that I received the results that were originally expected. I had several estimates before starting my project. I could not have been more happy with my decision. They just finished up today, however I am completely confident that they will follow through on any concerns I may have, if any. This is not an experience we have had too often through a our huge remodel that has involved different companies. I would recommend this company and their services to anyone! I am a female that seen this from the beginning to the end and never felt like I was taken advantage of without someone backing me up. Again, this is not something experienced too often. I would encourage you to keep them in mind for any services they offer. Rest assure that you can feel comfort in trusting them with any of your family members. Thank you Healthy Spaces for following through on everything promised!!"

"Kent Weed is a pleasure to work with. I had called several contractors requesting a quote to add a walk in closet onto the side our our house and turn an existing closet into a powder room. He was one of 3 who bothered to call me back. He walked me through his estimate and how they would add onto our bedroom to get us what we wanted. His estimate was reasonable and he stayed in contact with me throughout th project. I intend to use Frontier Builders on our next project of replacing our windows."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Upton, KY

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.
