"We hired Paul, Justin and Anthony to tear out and replace our master bathroom shower and floor. They were professional, friendly, clean and their attention to detail was top notch. The workmanship is incredible and the shower and floor are beautiful. They were extremely pleasant and guided us through every step of the process. I would hire them again without hesitation. We highly recommend Diamond Developments!!"

"Jim the owner met me at my home and measured the space in the bathroom. I wanted a complete remodel. Jim provided some great suggestions on design and colors that would work in the small space. Him vetted his team of contractors to make the project seamless-from electricians to tiling to painting. Everyone was professional and friendly and cleaned up after. The finished project is absolutely stunning. See the before and after pictures. I highly recommend this company. Extremely efficient and detail oriented. Jim personally inspected each phase of the project"

"We had Tersigni & Sons Construction install a bathroom in our basement. From the very beginning, Pete was very professional and communications were exceptional. We always knew what to expect and when during the project which is critical when both spouses work. Pete completed the project while working with our schedules . Finished product is exactly what we were looking for ... thank you Pete ! We will be in touch when we're ready to complete the rest of our basement."

"We recently had our basement remodeled by Al and his team, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included finishing the basement along with adding a bedroom and a full bathroom, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. Al and his team were professional, trustworthy, and incredibly detail-oriented. They offered honest opinions throughout the process, which we truly appreciated, and helped guide us in making the best decisions for our space. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship really show in the final product. The project was completed within a tight timeframe, and they were very accommodating to our schedule. Anytime we had questions, minor issues, or wanted to make changes, they addressed them quickly and were always responsive to calls and texts. We highly recommend Al and his team and will absolutely be using them again for future projects. "

"Brett DeWeese and his contractors have been amazing! Brett kept us well informed of the contractors and when they would be out. The contractors were very professional and so helpful. DeWeese & Associates did an outstanding job on our basement/bath renovation and we plan on using them again to install an under deck drainage system/ceiling, so we can transform the space into a req room."

"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."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Ann Arbor, 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.
