"Nicardo Smith installed a partial bathroom and lied from the beginning. He claim it would be him and one other guy but sent two unknown men to my house. I was charged for material his workers took from house. My lawn was ripped into by one of the guys oversized trucks and left several deep indents that have not been repaired. My vanity installed now has a leak and my bathroom now smells. When brought to Nicardo attention, he started yelling and calling me names. He then threaten to take my home. This job was only to take 4 days and took a week and half. Very unprofessional with no business knowledge. His own workers talked poorly of him and stated he was not from US. Very rude person and non accountable for his unprofessional behavior. Better off hiring professionals. He seems to overestimate his prices. $600.00 for a 2 x 3 feet area. I was charged for my own paint being used. $4200 was paid for a $3000 job. He will overquote but will not supply you with receipts of materials picked up. He will lie about financing options and talk trash about you as a client to the hired help to put you in messy situation. Please look elsewhere. This guy is a messy scam artist."

"They were hired to replace a tub, fixtures, and put in tile surrounding the tub with a niche and 2 shelves. We also had them re route a vent pipe in a separate bathroom so that it is past the trap and not letting sewer gases into the home. We were given options for materials based on our budget and guided on who to meet with at the appropriate store to select our materials. The work was done within the timeframe we gave. They did an excellent job making the space beautiful and professionally done. They respected our home and cleaned up better than expected each day. Of course, there were unexpected issues that arose that were dealt with without concern such as having to shore up not plumb walls. The price wasn’t cheap but was reasonable. In all, they did an excellent job."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mentor, OH

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.
