"I had DH West Coast Construction remove and replace the double front doors. They arrived at 0930 and finished by 01600. They were very professional and kept the construction area clean. They are highly recommended by this home owner."

"While I did not hire this company ultimately, I remained very impressed that they came to the site fully prepared (they did a ton of research on my property) and were ready to go day one had we chosen to go with them. In the end, we only decided to go with another contractor due to their existing familiarity with the current neighborhood we were in however, Empirevue are a top notch professional company judging by our initial interaction and I will be reaching out to them again for our other projects "

Orville was so easy to work with. He is very personable and easy going. I knew almost immediately upon meeting him, that I wanted him to do my remodel. (I had another company give me an estimate and within 10 minutes knew I could not work with them.) Still I asked Orville for references. He gave me 3 sheets of references and<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> said he'd provide more if I wanted. I called 6 or so. His references were glowing. Everyone I talked with was very pleased with Hartwig Construction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I received an estimate from Orville and then asked to meet with him to determine ways we could lower the cost. He worked with me on my budget. I did quite a bit of shopping in order to purchase items more inexpensively and more to my tastes. For example, I bought vanities, sinks, and counters online from Costco.)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Hartwig construction stayed on budget and for the most part on schedule. Orville told me it would take about 3 weeks to complete the remodels, but it actually took closer to 4 weeks.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Orville, out of the kindness of his heart, hung a large decorative mirror for me, changed all the light bulbs in the chandelier over my stairs (it is very high and I could not reach them.) He even repaired a wall the heating and air contractor damaged while installing a new HVAC system.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I love my new bathrooms. They are gorgeous!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I am saving my money to have Orville return and remodel my kitchen.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I did not see Hartwig Construction's Phone # listed.

"Curtis Dean of LTJ Builders met with us numerous times as we were planning our house and checked in with us as construction was being completed. He was willing to work with us and the ideas we had and made suggestions along the way as to how he thought things might be better done. He never forced us to go with his suggestions but in some cases they make a lot more sense then what we had originally designed. All the workers were very professional and the jobs were performed as promised and on time. He took pictures along the way of the entire building process and gave those to us on a CD. We are very happy about the end result and things that we found that needed to be corrected were addressed and taken care of immediately. <br />"

"Excellent job replacing a recalled product used for the surface of our deck.  The replacement product installed by the Kline Construction crew, was a Trex product.  They showed up on time, did a professional job-obviously have done this many times, and cleaned up the area when through.  We would use this company for further construction work.  <br>"

"From the start of our job Stoya was professional, made excellent recommendations, showed up when she said she would and was a extremely diligent worker.  She is a perfectionist and accomplished her tasks in a timely manner.  She's understanding of the stress involved with remodeling and is a careful listener. The best contractor I have ever had in my home.  I purchased some materials with her direction. She also had dead trees removed and hauled away all debris for $1800 which included seven cedars and one giant birch tree. Excellent company. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Yakima, WA

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.
