"Coldstream did a beautiful job remodeling my 80+ year old garage. My garage was in need of a new custom size door and framing to hang the door, as well as, framing around the door. Marty suggested installing flooring over the new joist to create additional storage. Because of Covid, the estimated wait for the new door was 6 weeks. It took much longer then 6 weeks to manufacture, but Marty called me several times during the delay to update me on the progress. I really did appreciate how informed he kept me. Marty and his crew did a great job, and I could not be happier with the project."

"Chase Clemens provided an extremely thorough inspection of our basement. He has a tremendous knowledge of basement foundations and was willing to spend as much time as necessary to explain and educate us on our issues. Using his state of the art laser level, he was able to show us areas of potential concern. We would highly recommend Chase and Ohio Basement Authority,"

"I hired Bryan to remodel the small master bath in my condo. I originally contacted him in 2018, but due to other issues within my home I had to place this project on hold. One year later I contacted Bryan again, and he was ready to place me on his schedule in two weeks. The price was just slightly higher from the original quote, which was to be expected. His contracts are strait forward and easy to understand. He and his crew are great. They were respectful of the time they started/finished daily due to parking restrictions in my area. Cleaned up the work area every day. Any issues he encountered were discussed so there would be no surprises at the end. They are pros in every sense of the word. The finished product looks great. If I had more projects I would definitely hire him again."

"We had An exceptional experience with Remark. From the beginning - Chris was very responsive, professional and transparent about the work and pricing. Once the projects started, Jeff and the guys were great. Communication and collaboration every step of the way throughout the project. We utilized Remark for 4 projects which were complete over the course of 12 weeks; basement finishing, bathroom remodel, fireplace wall feature and stair rail spindle replacement. We were extremely pleased with each project. So often you hear the horror stories of contracting companies who will start a job and leave for an extended period of time before they come back. Throughout the 4 projects, there was work being done every week - and just about every day. I would highly recommend Remark for any remodel needs and we will definitely be utilizing them in the future for any other projects."

"We had a small project that we wanted done being disabled I was not able to do it. We had two old window shutters above the garage that we wanted replaced. Called Tim on a Thursday an said they could do it the next day Friday. Tom came out an completed the project. We are extremely happy with the work he completed for us. We’re happy the a company like Tri State took such a small job for us when others wouldn’t. The cost was right on with no other hidden fees. Would highly recommend this company an will use them again for any future projects we have. Thanks Tim for sending Tom out we appreciate it. Thanks Gary & Kim"

"Rodney's Home Improvement just finished remodeling my basement. They did an excellent job and I absolutely love it. Although, I had other contractors come to my home and give me estimates I just felt a sincere connection with Rodney and Teresa. Rodney made suggestions on things that I should do with my basement. One suggestion that he made that I like was instead of carpet he suggested that I use vinyl flooring. So glad that I went with his suggestion. Rodney and his crew were always on time, very professional and the nicest people you would ever meet. I can't  say enough about Rod's Home Improvement. I am planning a kitchen remodel and I will definitely be calling Rodney's Home Improvement to do the job!"

"My name is Wesley, and I am a military Veteran. I recently utilized my VA Home Loan Benefits to purchase a brand new home for me and my son. Typically, one would not anticipate having any foundation defects or waterproofing issues when purchasing a brand new home. However, this was not the case with us. We had major issues with our basement, every time that it rained. I decided to reach out to CSI for assistance. They came out to my home in Somerset, KY and thoroughly inspected my basement. After assessing what the problem was, they quoted me an exceptionally reasonable price, and within one week; my problem was solved. I am completely satisfied with the quality of service that I received from CSI, and I would recommend this company to anyone in Kentucky who is having issues with the their home's foundation or issues with any type of leaks in your basement. CSI can be reached at (888) 857-0007, or at CSI4385@gmail.com. P.S. Tell'em dat "Big Wes" sent'chu. OORAH!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Independence, KY

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.
