"Aritas LLC, cancelled the first scheduled day due to some of his employees taking vacation and did not notify until after I called questioning if they were going to arrive that day. We rescheduled for the following week and they arrived on-time. Overall, the finished work was done as discussed and were thorough for adding caulking around the doors to prevent water from leaking inside the house. Jose also repaired the doors on two cabinets as well. He mentioned that if there are any future leaks inside the house that he would fix it at no additional cost."

"They did everything to our specifications. Everyone was very polite. The men did not eat, drink, spit or leave garbage around the worksite. When heavy rains were forecast, they covered everything with plastic and as soon as the rain stopped, they were back bright and early to remove the plastic and continue their work. They were so quiet, most of the time I wasn't even aware that they had been here, done their work and left. I think our driveway is a little wider than it was. They also widened our old walk along the side of the house making it much easier to get the bins out for garbage pickup. We're Pleased."

"Mark was great to work with throughout this project. One thing that stands out is that whenever you call he always answers. I called him several times throughout the time his team was doing the install and I never once went to voicemail. He's personable and knows his stuff when it comes to windows. Our install had it's share of challenges during and after the install but Mark was committed to providing a quality installation and never once suggested that anything that had to be done wasn't included in his original quote. Overall I know that Legacy Window & Door stands by the quality of their product and I'm very happy with it. <br /> Mark came out to the house to take a look at the basement and the exterior of the house to get an idea of our basement structure and size as well as what the exterior looked like for digging the window wells. He came out on a Friday and I had the quote by mid-day on Monday. Once we agreed to pricing and windows it took a few weeks to get the windows in because they had to be ordered custom along with the well materials. <br /> Once the windows came in he had a team out to dig the wells. It took a team of three guys a couple of days to dig a 6'x5'x6' well (Indiana clay isn't soft). Unfortunately, it started to rain while they were digging which lead to them not quite digging the wells as deep or as wide as was needed. The day for cutting in to the concrete to create the windows came and he came out personally to make the wells deeper and wider so the cutting could begin. <br /> Indiana Concrete Cutting handled cutting the holes in to our 8" think poured concrete basement walls. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them for any concrete cutting needs. <br /> Afterwards, there were challenges with getting the concrete blocks hauled away but Mark was able to contract a guy to do it. <br /> The window installation itself happened quickly and I'm very happy with the finished product. <br /> Unfortunately, a few weeks after the installation happened we had a few days of heavy rain in Indiana (2-3 inches over a weekend) and the window wells ended up flooding and leaking in to the basement (fortunately we hadn't insulated or drywalled the basement yet so no damage was done. I called Mark on a Sunday, he answered and had someone out first thing the next morning to dig the window wells deeper and insert a drain to the bottom of the basement wall where it can drain in to the sump pit. Mark stood by the warranty and I wasn't charged anything for having the drain installed. I was disappointed that this happened and that the drain wasn't installed from the beginning but Mark was a true professional about it. <br />"

"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.
