"We had Don do some foundation work for us three years ago and appreciated his work ethic, quality, and price. So now with another job he came out and inspected and told us to call a carpenter first because, not that he did not want the business, but we had to do some improvements on the sill plate and decking area before he could work on the foundation. I really appreciate his honesty, saying we might not need him if a carpenter can fix the sill plate."

"We had an older home which needed a complete kitchen and bath update. Our remodeling job required extensive skills in carpentry, drywall, plumbing, cabinetry, finish trim work and painting. My wife and I were delighted with the finished appearance and the quality of the work. From start to finish, we were also impressed with the speed and efficiency of the entire process. In addition, we were happy to see how every effort was made to maintain a clean and safe work area."

"I first met Mr Gonzales during my search for someone to renovate my barn. I knew that this was going to be difficult as there were only a small handful of people in Indiana who had experience around horse farms as well as knowledge in general construction, much less construction in old barns. I had interviewed several people for the job and decided to hire Mr Gonzales based on the drawings he submitted, the previous work he showed me and referrals from other people in the industry. I am more than happy to say that he and his crew did an outstanding job, completed in a timely manner and kept the cost at exactly what he quoted me. His commitment to his job and his sense of integrity trickle down to those who work for him and around him. I have since referred him to anyone needing any work done outside or inside the house and/or farm. As for me and my family, we all continue to use him and his staff for many different jobs and are thankful for work he does."

"They did a great job, I'm so glad that I went with these guys that I have decided to take time to review them. My home was hit with hail previously so I knew kind of what to expect, my insurance agent said give these guys a shot and you will be happy you did. I've even used them for remodeling my basement. Well they delivered great service, and great compassion for my damaged home. I can't say enough good things about the crew. GREAT JOB MARk, Richard and Steve"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Winona Lake, IN

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.
