"After Receiving quotes from 4 companies, we went with Finished Basements Plus. Not only did they offer the best price, but also included all permits and quality features such as metal framing without us having to ask. Todd, Brian, and their crews were great to deal with throughout the whole project. If getting the job done right for a great price are your priorities (and not speed), these guys are a great choice. We plan on hiring them again to remodel our master bathroom."

"After researching different basements remodeling companies we are glad we went with Buckeye Basements. From the initial appointment, James walked us through the steps and was very polite and accurate with the all the information he gave us. He did a rough sketch what it would look like and answered all of our questions that we had. Mike completed the framing part of the basement and he was an awesome guy. My 3 year old daughter really took to him and kept asking when she got up if Mike was coming over this morning. He spent time talking with my wife and children and was very friendly. This is a huge to have this kind of bond with people coming into your house every day. After this the next steps of the process went smoothly from HVAC, plumbing, drywall and painting. Leah and Jon were awesome with communication during the whole process. Leah would email us on a regular basis to let us know who was going to be coming over the next day and what the next steps were. Leah would also get with us to schedule the city inspection to make sure it was a good time for us as well. Jon would stop in and check on the progress which I found to be awesome from an owner. Most larger companies wouldn?t do this as you would never see the owner, not the case with Buckeye Basements. Overall, we are very pleased with the project done by Buckeye Basements and have told our friends, family, and coworkers about them. We truly love the job they did with our basement and their communication was GREAT. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that is doing a basement remodeling project.

"Greg Henslee is hands down THE BEST contractor out there. Great guy, even greater work. Greg completely built us a finished basement with bathroom in exactly 6 weeks as promised. He is a 1 man crew and it’s amazing that he did it all from start to finish. Worth every penny. We couldn’t be happier."

"We couldn’t be happier. The upstairs is beautiful. Tim kept everything cleaned up while working, showed up promptly and kept sub use to a minimum . Everyone who worked in our home went out of their way to make sure we understood all work, and were polite and respectful. Phase 1 went so well that we have hired Tim to do phase 2 - take the kitchen back to studs, move it to a new location, create a laundry room (it’s out of the basement now Yea!) and walk-in pantry, new half bath, change all electrical to white, wood floors, all new doors, new baseboards and crown molding. We are part way through phase 2 and couldn’t be happier. Our home is becoming the beautiful dream home we’ve always wanted. We feel blessed to have found Tim and highly recommend him. We never thought we would be one of those people that love their contractor, but we do."

"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."

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."

"We could not be happier with our basement remodel. Nick was incredibly thorough and conscientious in working with us to determine how we wanted our basement to look and then made it a reality. Their work is very well done and everything was done in a timely manner. Highly recommend and we will be using them in the future for any projects we need in our house."

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

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?

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?

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.

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?

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.
