"Todd and the entire Finished Basements Plus team were fantastic. From the very beginning, they worked with us to accomplish our vision for the basement while also making recommendations were needed based on their experience. They were very professional and do high-quality work. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to remodel a basement."

"Tim did a superb job of tearing out the old, putting in the new and repairing the active wet spots in the kitchen ceiling. I feel that his estimates were fair and reasonable and the craftsmanship was a world of difference from the previous subpar job I had done. He is very timely, works consistently and stays on schedule. I can't say enough how happy I am with his end result on this project! I'll be having him back to do another bathroom soon!"

"Great experience working with Dave, Bruce, Mike and the rest of the team. They really listened to our vision and delivered on all of our expectations while staying true to the original quote and timeline. We requested a few changes during the process and they were always able to adapt, did not nickel and dime us and made sure that the end product was what we wanted. I definitely have an attention to detail and could not be happier with our basement remodel. Dave and Bruce were always accessible, knowledgeable and managed the project well. Mike and the guys were courteous and showed great work ethic, often staying late, even on the weekends, until the job was done. Everyone has been impressed with our basement (probably the nicest part of our house) and I have already recommended them to friends and family. I would definitely use them again for future projects."

"Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I took multiple bids on my basement project across basement companies in Columbus. Mid state basement systems had the best and most fair pricing. They did not use any scare tactics and were upfront and honest. They were also the only company to use a laser level and show me the sag difference in my joists that I was experiencing. I hired mid-state basement systems to do crawl space support and repair on my load bearing wall in my basement. MY PROBLEM WAS UNIQUE AS LOAD BEARING WALLS NORMALLY DO NOT NEED TO BE REPAIRED LIKE THIS! At first, it was not level upon completion (BARELY 1/8 INCH OFF) in ONE spot and I let my sales rep Jiovanni know. the team came back out within 48 hrs and adjusted everything and let me take a look at it. They did a fantastic job. The installation crew even wiped down my floors for me after they were done! They were so polite, and respectful and made sure there was no damage to anything as they were moving steel beams to my basement ( my fridge was an object in the way to the basement door ) Do not let competitors make you question the validity of this business. they were fantastic. Rating of sales 5/5 Rating of the installation crew 5/5 Rating of management 5/5 Rating of mid-state as a company : 10/5 I do not believe I would have received this level of responsiveness of any of the competitors. I would choose mid-state basements for any basement project I had. Please use my review to know that mid-state basement systems will do the job the right way and how you need it to be done. In my experience, they offer the most fair pricing."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Buckeye Basements finished our large unfinished basement, giving us the basement of our dreams. Now, when we have visitors, they have their own kitchen, large bathroom, two bedrooms, an entertainment area, as well as a book nook hidden under the stairs. We could not be more pleased with the results! Jon and Leah were fantastic communicators, and everyone who worked with them was professional and helpful. We interviewed six different contractors before hiring Buckeye Basements, and we definitely made the right choice!"

"We are so thankful that we chose Premier Remodeling to build our new kitchen. After interviewing a number of possible contractors, we were impressed by Jeff (the owner) and his knowledge, insights and suggestions regarding the project. We were also impressed by the fact that he is a second generation cabinet maker, and when we saw photos of the wooden boat he and his father built, we were convinced he could handle any unique problems that came up in the kitchen project. Greg, was the person who was on site every day and personally did much of the work. He was beyond amazing. His careful attention to detail (from removing a wall to making sure each outlet was correctly aligned) was like he was doing the project in his own home. Greg made sure everything was as it should be, even if it meant more work for him. At the end of each day, he would make sure everything was cleaned up and put away to minimize any inconvenience on our part. He was also a pleasure to have around. In fact, when the project was over, we felt a tinge of bittersweet as he would not be around the house anymore. Our project was somewhat unique as one wall of cabinets made a 45 degree turn. While 90 degree turns (any corner) are easy as there are cabinets made for that purpose, a 45 degree turn requires considerable adjustments and craftsmanship. Jeff and Greg were totally up to the challenge. Jeff even customized the drawers as necessary to give us the maximum storage space possible. Throughout the entire project we never had a problem or issue with Jeff or Greg, even when we made a last second change or two, they were most agreeable to comply with our wishes. We TOTALLY recommend without any reservations or hesitations. Great quality work, reasonable pricing, excellent quality people who earn (and keep) your admiration and respect."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Watch for white mineral deposits on your walls, as this indicates persistent water pressure from Columbus clay soils. Stair-step cracks in block foundations or horizontal cracks in poured concrete require immediate structural repair before starting any basement remodeling. Seasonal spring flooding, floor drain backups, and bowing walls also signal severe drainage issues. Address persistent musty odors and rust stains early to prevent extensive mold remediation in your OH home.

Helpful?

Evaluate your foundation type first. Poured concrete foundations are excellent candidates for basement remodeling, while older stone or brick foundations require extensive structural updates. Ensure your ceiling height offers at least eight feet of clearance to accommodate ductwork. Check local flood zone maps and verify that your lot grading slopes away from the foundation. Finally, confirm your OH home tests below the required action levels for radon before beginning construction.

Helpful?

For basement remodeling in Columbus, prioritize moisture-resistant materials due to the local clay-heavy soils. Use fiberglass-faced gypsum board instead of standard drywall. Choose engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank flooring to withstand high summer humidity. Install closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam board insulation to prevent condensation during freeze-thaw cycles. Always use pressure-treated lumber or metal studs for framing that touches concrete to ensure a durable and safe foundation.

Helpful?

A major mistake during basement remodeling is skipping the local building permit process, which causes severe complications during a home sale. Homeowners also frequently ignore existing water intrusion and under-budget for proper radon mitigation in OH. Failing to ensure a minimum seven-foot finished ceiling height is another frequent error. Always have a professional evaluate your existing HVAC system to confirm it supports the additional square footage in your Columbus home.

Helpful?

Keep a hygrometer and moisture meter on hand to track humidity levels in your OH home. Maintain a supply of sump pump maintenance parts and a backup battery system to handle spring storm power outages. Stock window well covers to prevent winter ice damming. Keep caulking and hydraulic cement ready to seal minor foundation cracks. Finally, support your basement remodeling efforts by keeping GFCI outlet testers to verify electrical safety.
