CMH was a fantastic partner in our full basement finishing project. They have a dedicated process from creating the design, coordinating the buildout through various stages, and completing the finishing touches to make any renovation look amazing. I would highly recommend CMH to my closest friends and family, thank you CMH!

We made the perfect choice by selecting CMH for our basement. Everything about the process was very impressive. The estimate, 3D renderings, design selection process, communication in the portal, and especially our project manager (Nick) were all top-notch. We are thrilled with our basement and highly recommend CMH for anyone considering a basement remodeling.

Are permits required to finish my basement?
Yes, permits are typically required for basement finishing projects in Indiana. While requirements may vary by county, most areas now mandate permits for such renovations. Permits ensure compliance with the International Building Code, which Indiana has adopted for safety reasons. Proper permitting is crucial for home insurance and future resale value. You may need separate permits for structural changes, electrical work, and plumbing. Before starting your basement remodel, we recommend checking with your local building code enforcement office to understand specific permit requirements, costs, and deadlines.
How long will it take to finish my basement?
A typical basement renovation takes between 10 to 14 weeks, with an average of 12 weeks. The exact timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your project. Prior to commencing work, we will provide you with a detailed schedule outlining daily activities and the projected completion date. Our commitment is to 100% customer satisfaction and keeping your project on schedule.
Do you allow customers to provide some of their finishing materials?
For basement remodels, we typically use our own carefully selected materials to ensure quality and consistency. However, we understand that clients may have specific preferences. We evaluate these requests on a case-by-case basis, discussing how to potentially incorporate your desired materials while maintaining our high standards of quality.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, we stand behind our craftsmanship with a two-year warranty on your basement renovation. This extensive coverage is possible due to our limited use of subcontractors and our commitment to quality. We take great pride in our work and are confident in the lasting value we bring to your home.

Can I make changes after we've started?
Yes, you can make changes to your basement renovation plans for work that hasn't been completed yet. However, please be aware that modifications may extend the project timeline and incur additional costs, including a change order fee. We will work with you to accommodate reasonable alterations while keeping your project on track.
Will the job site be messy?
While it's inevitable that a construction project will create some dust, noise, and inconvenience, we take measures to minimize these issues. We clean up daily and treat your home with the same respect we would our own. Many homeowners have complimented us on how clean we keep their houses during the basement renovation process.
