"Mark showed up when he said he would everyday and went right to work. His attention to detail shows in his work. He cleaned up the work area everyday before he left, which was appreciated."

"Daniel and his crew of hard workers were AWESOME!! I think everything that they did for our remodel was done very well. We did a total remodel on 2 bathrooms in our house. We made the kids bathroom small and expanded the master bath. We also added a wood stove that they did a beautiful job on."

"Mr. Mata from M & M is a professional from start to finish. He would arrived at 8 am and end at 5:30 p.m. If he saw a problem, he would show you the problem and suggest a solution to it. I am also pleased because he gave us the opportunity to choose what we wanted to put in the bathroom. He would advised us if the item would work or not. My house was built in the 1950, so unforeseen problems added up to the estimate he gave at the beginning. However, we are very pleased and happy with the results. He finished the bathroom in eight days. He is now starting to remodel our second bathroom. We are extremely fortunate to have found Mr. Mata in Angie’s list. I would highly recommend M & M for any remodeling project."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Athens, TX

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.
