"Our original project was to finish up drywall work, painting and trim for two bathroom remodels. We decided to get quotes for inside doors along with it. Seeing that LM Coatings also does exterior painting and pressure washing, we decided to also get an outdoor quote for numerous pressure washing and painting of exterior doors and foundation. We were thinking of just doing the interior first and the exterior down the road, but decided to do all of it due to the fair price. Luis is very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to assess all of our projects quickly and give a thorough detailed quote. He and his crew are very polite and hardworking; even working all weekend in some cases. Although this project is named interior home paint, it obviously included drywall work, pressure washing many different things (including a metal roof) and exterior painting as well. We were pleased with everything, but he makes certain that you are satisfied before leaving. We were very impressed with his work ethic and willingness to please us. We will hire him again for sure and refer him to others too. Excellent on all!"

"Gage, Jake and Tyler were so quick and did an amazing job! Our run porch was literally separating from our house and they fixed it in an hour. Hopefully we won’t need foundation work in the future, but if we do then we know who to call!"

"I couldn’t be more proud and happy with the job of my two bathrooms remodels. John and his construction crew did an amazing job. They didn’t cut any corners and did everything the right way at more than a fair price. I would recommend these guys for any job that you would need done. I can be very picky at times and John and his crew always did what I had ask of them even if it was taking things back down and redoing them the way I wanted them to be done lol. I will highly recommend John and his crew to all my family and friends. John and his crew has been nothing but respectful and hard working and i’m so glad I had the pleasure of meeting him and his guys and will be having them do more work for me in the future."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Knoxville, TN

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.
