"This was an excellent experience. Doug listened carefully to us, answered all of our questions, proposed multiple ideas and options, and had the opportunity to explain his business model and identify his subcontractors and vendors. The consultation was well worth the value!!"

"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"Rob and I met through a coworker who highly recommended him and his team for the work they had done remodeling her entire basement. From the first day I met Rob, he has demonstrated the highest dedication to get the job done on time and as promised. His versatile team renovated part of our basement in a relatively short period of time. The result was amazing! I was very impressed with how he adapted to scheduling change to align with the overall work plan. His team work seamlessly on a variety of jobs, from paining, electrical, drywall, carpentry, and so on. He is very thoughtful and considerate of our needs. When we first moved in to our new house, he made a huge effort and pulled his team out to our house to first get the paint job done so that we could set up our furniture and make it livable. He is always responsive to my questions which to me is very important â I canâ t imagine working with someone who is not reachable. I am also impressed by his attention to detail, his work ethic and honesty. I am very happy with the result he delivered, therefore have recommended his service to many coworkers and friends. For myself, I plan to have his team over to install new fences, replace the circuit breaker, and do many other home improvement projects in the near future. The work his team has done exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him."

"It was a steady process. Of course there were hiccups along the way, but with Renaissance & myself working as a TEAM on this project, everything was done & done well. I do believe that is KEY on any project, especially one of this size. I told Jamie at the beginning of the project that communication was VERY important to me. Jamie was quick to address any questions or concerns I had. He picked up my calls every time. I will hire Renaissance Restoration for all home improvements and/or updates."

"Matrix did a phenomenal job from start to finish. We could not be happier with our basement and the construction. Communication was prompt, progress was well informed, and our contractor, Ron, ensured that everything was completed to our satisfaction. We can not recommend Matrix enough."

"The company has remodeled my master bathroom with quality jobs recently. The technicians are very knowledgeable and experienced. The best part I like is the customer service. Whenever I call and no matter what I want to talk, I can get reply with all the information I need. When I asked for reconnecting one of the water lines, they spent a lot of extra effort to let it done in a timely manner."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Ypsilanti, MI

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.
