"I consider myself very lucky to have met Ricky and to have worked with him.  Ricky was recommended to me by a family friend and I walked over to introduce myself at a house he was working on nearby.  Smart move!  Ricky is straightforward, friendly and honest. That last adjective.....honest, is so important when someone is working on your home.  I am so pleased with the end results of Ricky's work.  He is very professional and very careful and concise in all of his work. <br /> At one point during a bathroom renovation, Ricky discovered wood rot in the floor.  He thoroughly investigated the problem rather than ignoring it and continuing with installation of the tile floor.  Ricky reviewed this issue with me, showing me what he found from both inside and outside the house, providing options for courses of action .  He was then able to incorporate extremely important repair into the bathroom renovation at a very reasonable cost, avoiding what could have been a dangerous situation and costly repair in the future. <br /> Ricky proved himself to be very trustworthy.  In the initial stages of his work, I was present.  Later, I would simply give him keys to the house and felt completely comfortable with him working when the family was away for sometimes weeks at a time.  He always treated our home with great respect and respectfully limited the impact of his work on the cleanliness and accessibility to the rest of the house. <br /> I have highly recommended Ricky to neighbors and friends in the area.  And there is no doubt that I will mainitain a strong relationship with him in the future. <br />"

"We were not only pleased with the work but with contractor and workers as well.  Contractor was the only one of three we contacted for estimates to return our call in a timely manner.  He helped us think through a couple of options and we then settled on the 4' crawl space as the one we could afford.  His estimate was thorough and a payment schedule was agreed upon by both parties prior to the work.  The work was scheduled and performed according to agreed upon time table.  Contractor and workers were knowledgable, helpful and respectful.  The project was completed with minimal disruption to our daily routine.  <br /> The estimate from Multy Builders was the only one we got so we are not certain how it would have compared to others.  Multy Builders was recommended to us by another contractor we used for a small job and they were the only one to respond to our intiial phone call in a timely manner so we went with them.  We have had no reason to doubt our decision.  The work is quality.  We know this because we have lived with it for the past 8 years and have never had an occassion to regret our choice of contractor.   Cost wise, we feel the outcome was well worth what we paid.   We would recommend Multy Builders without reservation.  As a matter of fact, we had them return to do the same work under a smaller portion of the house not covered in this project 3 years later. <br />"

"The work crew were polite, efficient, friendly. <br /> We were consulted about options during the course of the work before any permanent changes were introduced. <br /> For the amount paid the work done is very good and the contractors were very easy to work with and minimally intrusive even though they had to work in one of the most intimate areas of our home. <br />"

"We own an old Historic farmhouse in Rutland Vermont area, it was built in the early 1800's. The house needed a lot of exterior work to be completed before winter. We have had some very bad experiences with other contractors in this area; I have to say that Vision builders were a breath of fresh air. <br /> <strong>1st, </strong>they were the only contractor who gave us a full itemized quote with a summary of all the materials required for each project along with associated pricing and accurate time frames to complete each item. They completed the work on time as quoted no delays, excuses or problems. Eric worked with us each day reviewing the progress and apprising us of any problems verbally and in writing so there were no surprises at the end. <br /> <strong>2nd,</strong> Eric's crew of workers were always on time, polite and considerate of our plants, shrubs and other sensitive area's, they covered everything with drop cloths and cleaned up as each project was completed. You couldn't even tell anyone had done any work around the house they were that meticulous. <br /> <strong>3rd, </strong>Eric came in at the price he quoted us with no $$$ surprises at the end. We will continue to use Vision builders for all future projects and have recommended them to many friends and acquaintances. <br /> <br />"

"I am100% satisfied with the services that were provided from this company, they were very professional and finished earlier than expected. I would highly recommend Affordable Roofing for any repairs you need, they are very hard workers and finish the job very quickly. I will be contacting them in the spring for more restoration that my husband and I need done to our home."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Newport, VT

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.
