"I recently had the pleasure of working with Barnes Builders on two major home improvement projects, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I was so pleased with their work that I will be doing a third project with them to build a casita for my parents. I highly recommend Barnes Builders for any remodeling, renovation or new build needs. Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel, Flooring, Paint, and Drywall Refresh: From the very beginning, it was evident that Barnes Builders was dedicated to delivering top-notch work. Greg the owner always did a really thorough walk through to make sure he understood what I wanted to accomplish, and make sure all the timelines and potential pitfalls were talked about. It was also really helpful to review the progress of the project with him as the different team members worked to complete it, so I always knew what to expect. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was outstanding. The tile and cabinetry was all custom and required a lot of work around solutions because of the uneven adobe walls. But the tilers, plasterers and flooring guys did an exceptional and beautiful job and it all fell into place nicely. There were minor delays in the project timeline mainly because of the custom nature of the project, but the delays weren't too significant to affect my overall satisfaction. Greg always made sure to keep me well informed of the situation and progress. He and the other workers also always went above and beyond to make sure things were done well and the way that I wanted them. All the members of the Barnes Builders team seem to take a lot of pride in their work, and it truly shows in the final results."

"Construction R us did a total rehaul of the electrical on our house and they did a stellar job. I found them to be communicative and honest. It's sometimes hard to find pros who do work and who you can trust to give you an honest assessment but this company definitely fits that bill. They also did a great job working around our schedule. Additionally they patched the dry wall after they were done and they did such a good job texture and colour matching we didn't even need to paint."

"ERG Construction did excellent work rebuilding a dilapidated deck and porch that will last for many, many years. At every turn, there was thoughtful attention to details. The finished deck was better than I could have imagined!"

"The project went beautifully. Danny Trussell and his team (Mike, David and Bill) were great to work with. All very professional, personable and responsive. Danny was available for all questions before, during and after the project. The project was completed on time and with no major problems. The end result is a beautiful new bathroom. The tile work is really well done as are all the details. Though we were surprised at how much a bathroom remodel costs, Danny was pretty 'right on' with his estimate and kept us informed about the costs as the project progressed. We highly recommend Trussell's Transformations."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Albuquerque, NM

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.
