"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."

"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."

"I am amazed at The quality of their customer service. Before I became disabled, I was employed at the hospital for 28 years and I know how hard-working with the public can be. I really need to give a hats off and a pat on the back to (midstate Basement) systems they came in and did work on my basement and had to come back and adjust some things… Not one time did they roll their eyes or give me a hard way to go about it. Levi ,Judd, Ernest, Jonathan & Adrian were very friendly, courteous & Ernest, Levi and Judd always answered any question I give them and was quick to be of help and to get me scheduled in I would highly recommend Midstate Basements systems to anybody that needs any kind of basement or crawlspace work done. I had my basement done and I’m gonna have to have my crawlspace done in the future and they will definitely be the company I contact. You can’t go wrong by hiring them. Fast, friendly service, each and every time."

"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

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?

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.
