"I’ve had this company do a huge home remodel, a condo remodel, hot tub install, mother-in-law dwelling remodel and a number of other projects. My absolute “go to” for anything. Never found a problem that couldn’t be solved. I’ve recommended them to friends who all have done remodels, small jobs and even a rebuild after a fire. Ask them for my reference and call me directly if you want. I can’t say enough good about Butch and his folks. Superb!!"

"We purchased a wooden playset for our children, but due to the time of assembly and the fact that all of the parts and the predrilled holes didn't match, my husband just didn't have the time to put it together himself. I contacted Sandy, and he was very professional and great to talk to about our job. Other handymen gave us a much higher price to assemble the playset and couldn't come out for three weeks. Sandy, understanding how important this was to us as it was my son's birthday, came out within a week. He did a great job, was on time, and came in at a very good price. We will call him with any other jobs we need completed in the future."

"We are remodeling an older house and needed someone to re-trim our 2500 square foot home. Reusing some of the old trim and supplementing it with new, Josh was able to make our windows really shine. He showed up to the job site on time and did a fantastic job. He also stepped in and help out wherever there was a need. Prepping the facia board for new wire to be run by cutting a 6 inch swatch all around the house. Josh has a great positive attitude and has been a pleasure to work with. <br />"

"The job turned out great. Our new doors are way lighter than the solid wood core doors we had and should hold up amazing this winter. He seemed very thorough in replacing everything and totally weather proofing it. Our new window is energy efficient & they look so nice. (Too bad you can't post pictures) I alreadyhave them coming to replace 2 more living room windows. I would certainly recommend them."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Willow, AK

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.
