"We had a makeshift basement shower replaced with a new shower. This required reworking of some plumbing and removing old paneling from the basement and replacing it with drywall. When arriving to give an estimate for our project Frank pointed out some safety concerns in our home that we can address on our own. He gave us options on how to proceed with our requested home updates and reasonable pricing along with a reasonable start date for the project. As work progressed Frank and his crew were personable, careful to note pet needs, and restored my laundry area to usable condition as needed during consctuction. Now that the work is done we are so pleased with it and wondering why we waited so long to have it done. The questionair asks if we would hire Frank's Custom Remodeling Ltd. again. We give a resounding, Yes! In fact, on the last day of our first project we asked for an estimate on a new project on our property."

"Dover completely remodeled our master bathroom. New tile, fixtures, and light in shower. New custom vanity with a cabinet on the counter to hide the cords from devices like hair dryers and beard trimmers. New tile floor. Moved the existing door opening slightly and installed a barn door, New light fixture and fan. New drywall, new subfloor, and replaced some uneven framing in the ceiling. It looks great and we are very happy with the way it turned out."
The sunporch easily accommodates both outdoor conversation seating and dining sets. Finishing the comfortable indoor/outdoor living space, electrical wiring provides power for the ceiling fan and can lights above, with additional outlets for a TV, speakers and other items—everything the homeowners need to enjoy a fresh, inviting living area.
The sunporch addition was designed for easy living at every touchpoint: Sturdy, lightweight framing materials create the gabled roof and side panel construction, including maintenance-free aluminum posts capped in vinyl, so there’s no paint to touch up or chipping to worry about long-term.
Because the homeowners wanted an unobstructed view and ventilation for their firepit table, screens are run from floor to ceiling along the walls. Added screened entry doors on both sides provide easy access to the room from the yard and adjoining patio.
The new sunporch is a large, open-air living space (11' x 14') with floor-to-ceiling screened panels for excellent ventilation and unrestricted views with a full room for protection.

Customers say: Quality work

"Matt and Tom did a fantastic job on the remodel of our basement. From the moment they discussed the project until the final walk thru they were top notch. Any questions we had during the project they answered in a timely manner. They were quick with any suggestions on what might be a better product to use in certain areas. When we do our next remodeling project, Matt and Tom will be the first and only contractors we call."

"Very pleased w remodel. Jesse ( business owner) was always on time , completed all portions of project on time schedule provided , communicated daily on how project was progressing and time schedule to completion. He was very flexible w work schedule based on my unusual work schedule . He involved myself in decisions re choices of color of paint, style of fixtures lights etc and when given flexibility of choice and asked for his opinion demonstrated great taste . He was very meticulous in his work down to fine details, shows pride in his work and was very fair on pricing. I wasn’t certain at first where to turn to have a shower placed in my half bath for an elderly parent who I did not want to have to climb stairs to get to other bathrooms in the house. All other remodelers contacted did not provide service of placing a shower in but only replace existing shower or bath. He knocked out part of bathroom wall into adjoining laundry room for the shower and placed new dry wall. He placed tiled shower, new vanity , new towel holders, toilet paper holders , new fan vent and had to rework existing plumbing ( new shower , moved washer and dryer based on existing space requiring new dryer air duct ,further enhancement in plumbing for washer and did an awesome job. When an outdoor faucet ? Valve broke ( not his fault ) he replaced piping placed new indoor shut off valve even though not part of original project.Very pleased w end result, my adult daughter , son and his friends were raving about the remodel of both the bathroom and laundry room. Very appreciative. If looking for business who’s owner is very skilled ,meticulous, flexible ,prompt , professional and personable I’m confident you will be pleased with his work if hired"

"I am so pleased with The House Doctors! They were super responsive via email, text, and phone during the entire process. They came out right away to give me a quote and outlined everything via email. They came out a few weeks later to complete the work and had two guys complete the project. The men estimated that the work would take 3 days and it only ended up taking two! I had a relatively complicated project and had asked The House Doctors to move my laundry room from the basement up to my second floor. My house is over 100 years old, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This project required them to move electric and water lines through two floors of my house. I had 5+ companies actually come out and give me a quote, each had a very different idea on how to complete the project. The House Doctors had the easiest answer on how to get the work done with the least amount of work and their pricing was very reasonable. The two workers were so friendly, knowledgeable, patient (they answered all of my questions and took time to explain things to me), and prompt. I am amazed that they also left all of the spaces where they worked cleaner than when they arrived (they swept and vacuumed after each day). I will absolutely work with The House Doctors again for projects around my house."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Westlake, OH

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.
