We here at Dillon Contracting, LLC, have been proudly serving homeowners in Shelby Township since 2011. I, Tom Dillon have been in this field since 1985. I strive to do my best on every request. We treat our homeowners like family! We get it done right the first time. Give us a call and we will transform your basement into exactly what you�re looking for. We are a veteran owned company. Financing available if you are interested.

"Dillon Contracting did an outstanding job with our basement. The owner, Tom, was very honest and transparent throughout the entire process. Tom and his employees are clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. We especially appreciated that they would give us options, as well as advice, on the many decisions we had to make. Our schedule was impacted on multiple occasions by delays in the materials that we had ordered (flooring, cabinets, etc.), but Tom was always very accommodating. What really makes this company stand out to me above all others is not just their quality of work, but how easy it was to always get a hold of them. Regardless of how big or small our question or concern may have been, Tom would always respond to our texts or calls right away. He was beyond patient, and went the extra mile to help us with anything we needed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get their basement finished (or any other home improvement work)."

At Allshire Building LLC, we pride our company on reliability, communication, integrity and quality work. We are experts in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular project. We look forward to earning your business!

"I recommend Allshire highly and without reservation. Russ, John, and all their crews were professional and we felt comfortable throughout the process. Our bathroom was fully gutted and rebuilt (with same footprint) - the end result was fantastic and I believe the value was very high. Just to make others aware - we had a fair amount of back and forth with the inspectors from our township and had several hardware items delivered to our house that were broken so they had to be re-ordered - so job took longer than we (and Allshire) expected. That said, the company has many positive attributes: 1) communication is solid 2) attitude is positive and professional 3) final workmanship very high 4) pricing very reasonable 5) overall demeanor is friendly and flexible which is what we wanted. We will call them again when we get ready to remodel our kitchen. Allshire is a good company because it is made of good people."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Walled Lake, MI

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.
