"Incredible work in a timely and custom focused manner. We remodeled our basement taking an awkward Ryan Homes floor plan and crafting it to a new thetre and entertainment area for the kids. The project manager partnered with me on design ideas, ensured I knew all costs baked in with no surprises, explained their process and utilized their highly certified and professional project team. You can tell the project team has worked many years together as they all stayed in step and ensure a quality product. Hire this team. You will not be sorry!"

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."

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.
