5 out of 5 stars
M.R. Renovations remodeled our basement and the result is stunning. They stayed on schedule, communicated every change, and their crew treated our home with respect throughout. We would hire them again without question.

Common questions
Answers before you call.
- A finished basement with M.R. Renovations covers framing and structural changes (where applicable), egress window installation if a bedroom is in scope, mechanical rough-ins for plumbing and electrical, HVAC extensions, insulation, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, lighting, and any built-ins or bar work you have planned. We coordinate the inspection sequence so the project does not stall between trades.
- Yes. Basement finishing requires a building permit in every Minnesota municipality, and most projects also need separate plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits. We pull every required permit, coordinate inspections, and verify egress and ceiling-height compliance before drywall. Permitted work is required by most homeowners insurance policies and by every lender we work with.
- Most basement finishing projects take six to twelve weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough. Straightforward open layouts come in around six; projects with egress window additions, full baths, bar plumbing, or HVAC reconfiguration trend toward twelve. You receive a written schedule before framing starts.
- Yes. M.R. Renovations holds Minnesota Residential Contractor license BC809200 and carries full General Liability Insurance and Workers' Compensation Insurance. License and insurance documentation is available upon request before contract signing.
- Yes. Every basement finish is backed by our Lifetime Transferable Workmanship Warranty. It covers our labor for the life of the home and transfers to future owners if you sell. Manufacturer warranties on flooring, fixtures, and egress windows are passed through at project completion. Full warranty terms at m-r-reno.com/warranty.
- Absolutely. Every M.R. Renovations project follows a defined 9-step process from first call through final walkthrough and warranty signing. The full walkthrough, including how we handle permits, selections timing, inspections, and the punch list before final payment, is available at m-r-reno.com/process.
