"I hired GR General Contracting to remodel my basement. Every aspect of the project was excellent. My remodeled basement is beautiful. I would definitely hire again. Gordon communicated regularly about the project schedule and kept me up to date every step of the way. The crew were outstanding and it was a pleasure to have them working in my my home. At the end of every day I received a walk through of the progress and an overview of the next days work. I am thoroughly impressed with my experience working with GR General Contracting."

"Gordon’s team did a really good job remodeling my bathroom and my unfinished basement. Their new drywall & flooring installation work great and they did a good job with the plumbing & electrical adjustments I needed done. They cleaned up the mess they made daily and tried to keep the rest of the house clean and dust free. Total cost for both basement & bathroom remodel was $23900. There were some additional remodeling costs that I didn’t budget for initially but Gordon was willing to work with me on making payments for the additional features that were added to the remodel. Overall they are a good company and I’m happy with the work they did."

"We gutted our master bathroom and removed a wall. Installed all new wall and floor tile as well as cabinetry and fixtures. Jose and Cesar are SUPER friendly and always want to help. They are attentive to all concerns and willing to make sure you are satisfied. This is a true family operation and they have a real great family. We will be remodeling another bathroom in 2019 and will definitely use them again."

"Chris and the entire Alpha team were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. As homeowners who had a general idea of what we wanted to do for our complete basement remodeling project but no clue where to begin. Chris came over and listened to the general idea's we had and then used his experience to explain how things would work or would work better in certain aspects. After being very detailed in the plans and budget, he was very communicative each step of the way. The entire Alpha team were extremely friendly and were always greeted with a "Good Morning or Good Afternoon" every time we saw them. Alpha always communicated with us throughout the entire remodel and asked for thoughts on any potential things that came up. After everything was completed, Chris was very thorough on the final walk through and was meticulous with all the details. I would highly recommend Alpha Ventures!"

"I was able to make an appointment through Erin in the office to schedule someone to come out within a week. Kyle came out to give us an estimate. He was prompt and courteous. He examined our basement walls from the inside and then walked the outside of the property. He informed us we didn't need basement or foundation repair. Our problem was our gutters and the grading of our lawn. He recommended two solutions to those problems and stated which would be cheaper. We appreciated his advice and that he didn't take any money for the estimate or advice. If our basement or foundation ever does need repair, we are definitely calling Accurate Basement Repair."

"We scheduled an appointment and they were on time and were professional. They listened to my ideas and measured the basement. Before they came out they provided me a booklet with the materials they use and how their design is different than others. The scheduling process was simple and quick. Now with that said the reason I give them a C overall is because of their price. The price they quoted me for 1100 square feet with a standard remodel no custom things was twice as expensive as the other companies that quoted me on my space. The cost was in the range of 75-80K. That is almost the price of building a new home. I was disappointed at the fact that they thought that’s was a fair price. Others quoted me between 35-40K."

"Chris and his team did an extensive remodel of our kitchen. Removed a wall, installed a steel beam, custom cabinetry, custom lighting, refinished floors, painted, installed appliances. He became an extension of our family. All the teams that they brought in were respectful and kind to our family. They cleaned up after themselves every day. Even with a project this large, his team was able to meet our tight timeline (3 weeks!) to get us finished before a shower I was hosting. They were responsive to all our requests and provided us with a two week timeline at the beginning of every week. We always knew what to expect. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kenosha, WI

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.
