"I just completed bathroom remodeling with Colby and Gabriel from ADAR builders. They understood my needs and were very responsive throughout the process. I had detailed requests and thankfully they took care of those. The office, PM and staffs effectively work together and professionally dealt with permits and HOA. I am satisfied with their performance and recommend them."

"We hired Nextgen Home Repair to remodel our already converted garage back house so we could turn it into a comfortable living space for a family member. Before the remodel, it technically functioned as a space, but it didn’t really feel livable or welcoming but now it definitely feels like a home!! They fully repaired and updated both the inside and outside of the garage. The interior feels completely refreshed and everything looks clean and brand new. On the outside, the repairs and updates made a huge difference too so it finally looks like it belongs with the rest of the main house. The team was easy to work with, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was done right. You can tell they care about the quality of their work. We’re really happy we chose Nextgen Home Repair."

"Fox Painting is much more than painting! Edwin, his son, and the rest of the crew repaired rotted wood trim and stucco prior to painting. They did not only a great job with the restoration repairs but the paint looks terrific as well. To start Edwin gives a fully detailed estimate listing all the work being performed. You know exactly what you are paying for. When prepping the house they powerwash the house to achieve a clean surface for the Dunn Edwards paint to adhere to. From there they meticulously scraped and restored all the wood trim plus repaired the stucco. The painting phase went perfectly. They covered all the windows, doorknobs, etc. Anything else they moved out of the way and put back when finished. When it comes to messy painters Edwin and his crew are the exact opposite...extremely organized and careful not to spill a drop of paint. I couldn't find any spilled paint anywhere after they were completed. In addition, He and his guys were always very punctual, polite, responsive and understanding of my needs and wants. If you are interested in hiring a company that does more than painting you should consider Fox Painting for sure. Remember "Cheap work ain't good,..Good work ain't cheap""

"George at Rite Way Construction was amazing! We had a major leak into our living room after a heavy rain. We called George and he quickly assessed the leak source and presented a solution of digging out then pouring/building up new concrete step next to outer wall. George and his team made the whole process super low stress and got the project done fast and within our budget. Highly recommend! 5 Stars!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Van Nuys, CA

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.
