"Dover is a long standing company that we reached out to based on reputation alone. They are a well oiled machine. They did not disappoint. Our 1950s home now has a beautiful and very low maintenance 3 season room that is seamlessly tied into our brick home. Our completely remodeled kitchen with Amish built hickory cabinets and modern finishes is outstanding. The skilled tradesman did a fabulous job. The designer and project manager were easy to work with and kept the project moving. Would highly recommend!"
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, Tom, Andy, and their team were exceptional. The quality and detail of their work exceeded our expectations, they were very accommodating to change requests, and the work space was clean each day. We appreciated their wealth of expertise in reviewing our designs with us and consulting with us on how to best make use of our space. We've since engaged them on multiple other home improvement projects. Their pricing was more than reasonable (we solicited multiple quotes), and the quality of the work could not be outdone by other, more expensive remodelers. They are a pleasure to work with."

"I hired Eiffel Builders to rebuild my 20 year old deck. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! Their pricing was fair and I even referred them to my neighbor who is also going to use them to rebuild his aging deck. There were a few small things that I noticed once the job was completed that needed attention. Even though I had already paid them in full they were happy to come back out and address the minor issues i raised. I am very happy the final product, the pricing, and their service! If you have a project, this is the company to 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.
