"These guys are the BEST! Fast, efficient, good natured, innovative and the highest quality of craftsmanship! Project started just to fix woodshed, however it was too far gone so it came down. I saw visions of new project same time Ian did. He drew up plans the next day and I now have a woodshed and screened in back porch. I wanted them to preserve the integrity of my old house and use as much from the old woodshed as possible, barn siding, windows and church pews that came out of the house when converted from a church in 1836. So amazing! Thank you!"

"We chose Galaxy Granite because they were 1/2 the price of Home Depot and 3 other companies! We went there to pick out our granite and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and informative. They came to our house in less than a week to do the measurements. Both men were so professional and polite. Again answering all our questions. Additionally, they would have come down to install the granite in 1 week! Most companies told us 6-8 weeks for delivery & install!! When they arrived to install, it was 2 different men who were equa!ly so professional and helpful! They were neat as a pin and made sure everything was cleaned up. Didn't take a break, got the job done! If we had an issue, they took care of it immediately and guarantee their product 100%. I would not hesitate to recommend Galaxy Granite. You get quality product at a better price installed quickly by true professionals! Thank you Galaxy Granite for giving us the kitchen of our dreams!!! Keith and Nancy Ireland Pittsfield, MA"

"I consider myself very lucky to have met Ricky and to have worked with him.  Ricky was recommended to me by a family friend and I walked over to introduce myself at a house he was working on nearby.  Smart move!  Ricky is straightforward, friendly and honest. That last adjective.....honest, is so important when someone is working on your home.  I am so pleased with the end results of Ricky's work.  He is very professional and very careful and concise in all of his work. <br /> At one point during a bathroom renovation, Ricky discovered wood rot in the floor.  He thoroughly investigated the problem rather than ignoring it and continuing with installation of the tile floor.  Ricky reviewed this issue with me, showing me what he found from both inside and outside the house, providing options for courses of action .  He was then able to incorporate extremely important repair into the bathroom renovation at a very reasonable cost, avoiding what could have been a dangerous situation and costly repair in the future. <br /> Ricky proved himself to be very trustworthy.  In the initial stages of his work, I was present.  Later, I would simply give him keys to the house and felt completely comfortable with him working when the family was away for sometimes weeks at a time.  He always treated our home with great respect and respectfully limited the impact of his work on the cleanliness and accessibility to the rest of the house. <br /> I have highly recommended Ricky to neighbors and friends in the area.  And there is no doubt that I will mainitain a strong relationship with him in the future. <br />"

"We own an old Historic farmhouse in Rutland Vermont area, it was built in the early 1800's. The house needed a lot of exterior work to be completed before winter. We have had some very bad experiences with other contractors in this area; I have to say that Vision builders were a breath of fresh air. <br /> <strong>1st, </strong>they were the only contractor who gave us a full itemized quote with a summary of all the materials required for each project along with associated pricing and accurate time frames to complete each item. They completed the work on time as quoted no delays, excuses or problems. Eric worked with us each day reviewing the progress and apprising us of any problems verbally and in writing so there were no surprises at the end. <br /> <strong>2nd,</strong> Eric's crew of workers were always on time, polite and considerate of our plants, shrubs and other sensitive area's, they covered everything with drop cloths and cleaned up as each project was completed. You couldn't even tell anyone had done any work around the house they were that meticulous. <br /> <strong>3rd, </strong>Eric came in at the price he quoted us with no $$$ surprises at the end. We will continue to use Vision builders for all future projects and have recommended them to many friends and acquaintances. <br /> <br />"

"I am100% satisfied with the services that were provided from this company, they were very professional and finished earlier than expected. I would highly recommend Affordable Roofing for any repairs you need, they are very hard workers and finish the job very quickly. I will be contacting them in the spring for more restoration that my husband and I need done to our home."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Wilmington, VT

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.
