"I recently had Mighty Basement and Bath finish my basement and build a new bathroom, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They did a fantastic job, kept the project on schedule, and stayed right within my budget. The final space looks absolutely amazing! Highly recommend Scot and his team for any remodeling needs."

"Extremely pleased with the basement remodel. KSRP team was helpful, responsive and professional. Work included: framing, windows, drywall, electrical, lighting, flooring and painting. Not one complaint. Job price was really good and would have paid more based on what was ultimately delivered. I recommend working with KSRP."

"Andy & his guys with A&M Construction did an amazing job on my bathroom remodel. A complete gut to a personal spa. Installed a 66" wide, deep soaker bathtub! Makes it feel like a spa every time I walk in. In addition replaced the windows & exterior doors. Excellent work, communication, and attention to details, and of course my needs!"

From start of the project to end , he helped us in submitting the necessary paperwork for getting a permit and creating a 3D design plan for the project and his construction guy - Radek was great, very detail oriented and did awesome job on our basement remodel. We are very happy that we made a right choice of going with basement2finish."

"The team was very responsive in assisting the removal of a silver maple in my back yard. Came out and quoted the opportunity within a couple days of engaging them on the Home Advisor platform. After moving forward with the bid, the continued to provide communication even through a couple reschedules due to weather. The completion of the project was smooth and they left the back yard in great shape. Iâ d recommend All Service Calls to my friends and family members."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.
