"We have been wanting to convert our tub to a walk in shower for years. We are grateful that we found Fusion builders. Daniel the project manager and his team made such a masterpiece. All the details and our request are perfectly done. We requested for shower nische, floating vanity & mirror with lights, high tech toilet with heated seat, bidet and more. Working with them is smooth. Great craftsmanship, professionalism and communication. We will hire them again for our future home updates. Highly recommended! "

Customers say: Super punctual

"Had them rip out the fireplace that was installed poorly in 1990. A bit costly, but I doubt a single handyman could have done it in a timely fashion. Done in 3 days start to finish. I was expecting some water damage, but it was much worse. Getting a exact price for the work out of them beforehand was impossible. Ultimately it cost $2500 extra do to having to replace more sections of the roof and support beans. They didn't pull a fast one, the wood crumbled when touched. Labor isn't cheap. Would hire them again because the work is solid. "

"I hired Shocking Difference LLC to have my new Ring Wired Floodlight Camera installed above my garage. Yasser Dunn and apprentice, Matt did a great job! They worked very well together. The job took less than 1.5 hours. They took down the previous, broken (water logged) Ring camera and replaced it with the new one. They went into the attic and modified the outlet into a junction box, to connect the new camera. They also caulked around the housing of the new camera. This is the second time I've hired Shocking Difference LLC for my house's electrical needs. I felt their pricing is reasonable. I also spoke to owner, Winona at their office: she also provided the utmost customer service! I highly recommend SD LLC!"

"Family Man Handyman brought the dream of a new 10x16 shed to life. We had a vision of a shed that would look like it was part of our home. From the very start of the project to the last touch up painting Family Man Handyman demonstrated outstanding expertise and professionalism. They were always on time and cheerful throughout the entire building project. Updates through phone conversations kept us informed on their progress. Thank you to the entire staff (Shawn, Cody, Patrick, Zach, Tim and Alyssa) for a job well done."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Yelm, 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.
