"We used DDR for renovating our basement. Jon, our project manager, was very knowledgeable and courteous when it came to communicating and managing the project. We are happy with the work they have done and any issues we've had have been minor and they were quick to address and fix. If you're thinking about a renovation project for your home, give DDR a call!"

"This was a 440 square foot addition with a 240 square foot deck; Jorge finished the project within two months while still providing excellent workmanship. To support this accomplishment, I had to do my part also. Choose materials that were readily available, doors, windows, flooring, lighting, etc. You cannot finish a project in two months if you choose custom order materials that have a three/four-month lead time. This is to say, my expectations were realistic, and I had to enable and collaborate with Jorge so he could help me. Jorge and his people exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail was very good, if we had an issue we would discuss and resolve. Financially this was a huge project for myself and my family. There are a lot of things that can go wrong when you are moving earth, tearing out walls and building something from your imagination and a 2-D drawing. I am very glad; I chose Silver Lakes Construction/Jorge to guide me through this process."

"We signed up with DDR in August of 2025 and by January of 2026 had a wonderful sun room. They were able keep us up to date with progress and we were able to express concerns to our very responsive project manager. They provided a price up front and there was even fixed pricing at the quote that made us sure there wouldn’t be surprise billing along the way. We would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality sunroom addition for their home. "

"The company's patriarch (Kelly) is a second-generation home builder with extensive connections with contractors in the area. Our project required the assistance of a structural engineer to design a beam to allow removal of load bearing wall. Before the they quoted the project, they had all the major contractors come to the house and walk through the project. The quote included a scope of work outlining the tasks by area. They also provided a detailed price estimate that matched the scope items. Kelly was at the house every day contractors were on site to make everyone knew what needed to be done. When issues arose due to material delivery issues Kelly stayed on top of the suppliers to get the project back on track. When we noted a few items that we were not 100% satisfied with, Kelly brought in the responsible parties to address our issues/concerns and work with us until we were satisfied. We are extremely satisfied with finished product. Everyone that has seen the house since the remodel was completed have commented on how impressed they are with the finished product and quality of work. We definitely would recommend this contractor, actually as this review is being written a family member is in the process of getting a quote for a bathroom remodel."

"Carlos was very professional and friendly. He provided quality construction of a new garage. He completed the work in a timely manor. When I made the final payment to him he told me to call him if I had any concerns or issues, which I believe is a mark of a quality company with integrity."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Louisville, 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.
