"I can't say enough about the great people who worked on my basement: WES, the salesman was courteous, knowledgeable, and patient. He came on time, explained everything and also met with my handyman to go over the work he had to do to prepare the basement for Dry Pro to do its work. He met with my handyman not once, but twice because the handyman wanted to make sure he had done everything that was needed. Great guy! Oscar, the crew leader, kept me informed as to what was going on and alerting me when he was on his way and leaving. The crew was always on time and Oscar explained what they were doing and answered all my questions. He also worked diligently and adjusted the work as needed to make sure they did the job right with only what was really needed. Crew members Antonio, Daniel and Cameron reminded me of an army of Eveready Bunnies: once they arrived they started working and kept going, and going, and going! The whole crew worked very hard and considering the type of work, they left the area clean and in good order. They were careful to cover everything before starting the work so as to protect the few things I had in the basement (my basement is being remodeled). Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised by the professionalism everyone showed and will be recommending DryPro to anyone I hear needs basement water mitigation work done."

"The quote was for a complete remodeling of our house; tearing down walls and putting up new ones. The house was going to be gutted to the point where we had to move out to have the renovation done. After they met us, it took a little while for them to get back to us to give a quote. Other than that, it was great. The gentleman who came to meet us and go over the plans was very polite and kind. However, their quote wound up being the highest among the ones we got. We did not use them. We will probably not call them in the future."

"Communication with Alex was extremely pleasant and not pushy at all like a lot of people, very helpful in helping me acquire the materials I need and they grabbed the ones I couldn’t get. Derek did the remodel by himself and did an excellent job, would absolutely have him come back for more work if needed. I absolutely recommend Cransten to anybody looking for work to be done on a budget."

"The project went great!!! Hayden the general contractor was wonderful. He updated me each and every step of the process and always kept true to his word on cost, timeframe, and etc. I always felt I was in good and trustworthy hands as he and his team worked on each aspect of my garage conversion. He made sure each inspector who came for each area, mechanical, electrical, framing, insulation, and final were all handled efficiently and each one passed on the first try and I was even told by the inspector that they wished every inspection they did went as smoothly. If you need any project done, I highly recommend H&P general contracting. I will do any and all future home projects through Hayden and his company going forward. He definitely gets a 100 star rating from me."

"David did a wonderful job at our home. He painted two rooms and finished a ceiling. He also did several handyman jobs for us: sealed windows and doors, weather stripping, carpentry, fixed/sanded/stained our front door, cleaned out the dryer vent, repaired our deck, etc. He did a great job with everything. The painting was flawless. David was very responsive, honest, great to work with, and punctual. He charged a reasonable price for his services and took pride in his work. I would definitely hire him again and have recommended him to friends and family."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Waxhaw, NC

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.
