A finished basement brings so much value to a home. It's not just about increasing your property value - though it absolutely accomplishes that - but a finished basement provides more living space for your family. It's a place to connect, rest, and host friends and family, giving everyone in the home more space overall.
​
Getting your basement finished is a major construction project, and that can be a daunting proposition, but Marks Building Co. has been doing this for Northeast Ohio homes for more than 35 years, and we'd love to talk with you about building you the basement of your dreams.

Why Choose Us to Remodel or Finish Your Cleveland Basement?
Our commitment to quality is unmatched in the area, and our basement construction company works hard to make the experience as hassle-free as possible. Not only will our team handle all of the permits for the job, but we'll work with you to ensure everything is exactly as you originally envisioned it. We like to first meet with our clients as part of a design and consultation phase, and once everything is agreed upon, we get to work.
​
This includes first inspecting the basement itself to make sure it's ready to be finished. Before doing anything, we'll check for water or high humidity that can lead to unwanted dampness. From there, the construction begins, with the promise that we'll do everything we can to maintain a clean workspace that interrupts your life as little as possible.

FAQs on Our Basement Remodeling Services
What are some current design trends for finished basements?
​
Glad you asked - our team is always up-to-date on the current design trends within the industry. This includes big-picture elements like waterproofing walls and eco-friendly insulation, but visual design trends as well. Basements have become major entertainment centers for families, which we always keep in mind, from entertainment setups to potential bar installation. And as more families live together for longer - whether it's aging parents or young adults living at home after college - we help turn your finished basement into a functional living space.
​
What are some design ideas for our custom basement?
There are so many things you can do with a fully finished basement. Working with a finished basement company can really get your creative juices flowing, and your new basement can serve so many functions; a few basement design ideas include:
​
-
Creating additional bedrooms and bathrooms for your home; after all, maybe you've been thinking about the kids moving back home after college and turning the basement into an apartment
-
Creating a huge children's play space, which frees up the other areas of your home
-
A home theater or fan cave
-
A full basement gym
-
Taking your hobbies or side hustles to the next level; a finished basement is the perfect place for a new recording studio, craft area, or decked-out home office setup
-
Setting up the ultimate game room - if you've always wanted a billiards table, pinball machines, or old arcade cabinets, now is the time to make it happen
​
What is one basement design element you always recommend?
​
Our team of basement contractors is of course happy to remodel a basement to a customer's exact specifications, but we do highly recommend incorporating an egress exit into your final plan. Egress windows are an essential safety precaution in basements, giving you another exit path in the event of an emergency.
​
What does a finished basement project timeline look like?
All of our construction projects - including finished basements - are completely custom, which means our project timelines are completely custom as well. Our team will work with you to develop a basement design you love, which will then inform what kind of project timeline we're looking at. What we can tell you is that we pride ourselves on communicating with our customers every step of the way to ensure we are always on the same page.
How do you incorporate energy-efficient solutions into your finished basement designs?
​
From energy-efficient lighting and windows to proper insulation, we are always looking for ways to ensure a finished basement is as energy-efficient and eco-friendly as possible.
​
Do you do all of the work yourself or do you hire subcontractors?
​
Marks Building Co. has a complete in-house team that will handle your entire basement project. When you first reach out to us, you'll be speaking directly with ownership, and we'll work closely with you throughout the duration of the project. Our in-house team will work hard to ensure there is as little disruption to your daily routine as possible, while also providing you with the custom remodeled basement you've always dreamed of having.
