"Eric and his crew were great and our basement came out perfect. They work very hard and do quality work. We also added on a couple of items not in basement and they completed them and at the end Eric did not charge us. If you need any work done you should hire Eric and his crew."

"Working with John and Freddy has been an absolute pleasure on our basement kitchen and downstairs bathroom. We had water damage. Lots of it. John made the insurance process very seamless and got our home looking better than ever before. Construction Services of Indianapolis was timely, neat, professional, and provided a truly beautiful work of art in our home. Can't say enough great things about John, CSI and the team. 10/10"

"Worked with Centennial on a full kitchen and laundry room remodel of a late 1800s home. Working them was very seamless as everything was planned out in order to cause minimal time under construction. Their craftsmanship is top notch which really helped bring the whole project together. When working on an older home like this, road bump are almost expected. Centennial did a good job at communicating all the hiccups with me and provided options on how to proceed. They were even able to factor in a significant increase in scope (a more involved laundry room remodel) without significantly drawing out the overall time. Everyone that worked on the project was more than polite/respectful and was always sure to clean up after themselves. Overall, I very much enjoyed working with Centennial and would 100% do business with them again."

"Tom Phelps and his crew did a great job replacing the front door, surrounding door frame and replacing the wood rot around the base of the front door. The men in Tom's crew were courteous and careful in their work and expedited the repairs as quickly as possible. They left the project work in a clean and excellent condition."

"Guillermo and Karina gave me a good price on their estimate to do all kinds of remodeling work for my 3 bedroom condo. Their team worked quickly and carefully. We had good communication as the job progressed. I’m very happy with the drywalling, painting, vinyl plank flooring and carpeting they installed. Also the did a great job re-coating the two bath tubs. I would recommend them to anyone."

"Bobby & his team at Bestway Contractors LLC were absolutely incredible to work with! They tackled a huge project in our new home — removing our tile countertops (yes, tile!) and replacing them with gorgeous new ones, plus installing LVP flooring throughout the entire lower level — roughly 900 sq. feet covering the kitchen, living room, family room, dining room, bathroom, laundry, and entryway. From day one, Bobby stood out for his communication and care. He kept me updated every step of the way and went above and beyond to make sure I was completely happy with how everything turned out. As a first-time homeowner, that kind of trust and reassurance meant the world. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and genuine pride in their work show in every corner of our home. I couldn’t recommend Bobby and his team more highly — they’ve earned a lifelong customer. When it’s time for our kitchen reno, there’s no question who we’re calling! *PLEASE NOTE: We are putting the quarter-round in!"

"Andy and team remodeled our kitchen as well as built a bathroom for us in our basement. I wanted to wait a little while before leaving a review to confirm the quality of work. Years later everything is still great and no issues. Andy was flexible and professional during the whole construction project, we appreciated the attention to detail and considerations his team gave to our family."

"Keith with Just Bathrooms is the absolute best! Keith and his assistant were here when he said he was going to be and they are careful and clean and professional. Keith remodeled our hall bathroom for us in 2015 and we were so pleased with his work that we wanted him to remodel our kitchen in February 2021 and could not be more pleased. The kitchen is more beautiful than we could have imagined. We knew we wanted him to remodel our master bathroom so we scheduled it when he finished the kitchen. He just finished the remodel of our master bathroom and master closet on Friday and they look absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier with our new bathroom and closet and Keith’s work. Keith is really good at what he does and takes pride in his work and it definitely shows. He even pays attention to the smallest details. He is the only contractor I trust. Keith is honest and fair and very knowledgeable and does top quality work. We explained what it was that we wanted and he delivered and we could not be happier. I highly recommend Keith with Just Bathrooms and can’t say enough good things about him and his work."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Carmel, IN

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.
