"Paul and Romy were great to work with. They listened to what I wanted everything to look like in the end. Any issue or question was discussed with me to insure that it would turn out according to my expectation. It is evident that the quality of their work is important. Paul and Romy gave suggestions: enhance my desired outcome, make something more functional or to be more cost effective. Most suggestions I implemented due to their experience in construction and am extremely pleased with the end results. My budget was tight and Paul was very respectful of that and kept me informed of changes in the estimate based on what needed to be done next but stayed within my parameters. Paul is very knowledgable, he researched and helped me find quality items (before I bought them). He never rushed me to make a decision and tried to give me options which I really appreciated. We lived in our home during this entire process. They made this experience pleasant even though the kitchen, back porch and half bath were completely gutted (lath and plaster), but they clean up at the end of the day leaving it as nice as possible under the circumstances. Paul always communicated his work schedule and was willing to make changes for us if necessary. We have more remodeling to complete and will be using Custom Choice Construction."

"Our siding was blown off during the December 2021 horrible wind storm. We tried unsuccessfully to reattach around 4 pieces of siding several times. After the third time we decided to let a professional do the job. Brandon and Heritage Builders took care of our siding problem so quickly and professionally. The communication was excellent, the workmanship was skillful, and the timeliness was quick. We will definitely be using them in the future."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Wakefield, KS

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.
