"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."

"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."

"Mid-State Basement Systems came highly recommended by a good friend from Buffalo, NY and they did not disappoint. From start to finish they were very professional yet personable. Larry & Phil in the initial stages of the basement inspection and a reasonable quote. Silvino and his team who done the actual work was incredible, done with absolute excellence. They were here when they said they would be and finished the job a day ahead of schedule. I am thoroughly pleased with this company, first class. I highly recommend them if you need work done on your basement.******"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Buckeye Basements finished approximately 1,000 square feet of our unfinished basement, including a mother-in-law suite with custom bathroom, large entertaining space, custom bar, and craft room. We looked at many potential contractors, and ultimately settled on Buckeye Basements because of the vision they had for the basement at a very reasonable price. Top-notch workmanship, terrific service, on-time delivery. Jon and his team were just terrific. We especially appreciated his vision for designing basements -- he's done a lot of custom basements -- and his focus at the framing stage of trying to take advantage of every inch of the basement, by moving pipes, drains, etc."

Basement Remodel questions, 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?

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.
