FAQ

Frequently asked

+Do I need a permit?

Yes — Omaha requires permits for framing, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical below-grade work. We handle the paperwork.

+What about moisture and radon?

We inspect for water intrusion and recommend mitigation before finishing. Radon mitigation should be in place before the slab is covered.

+Can I add a bedroom?

Only with a compliant egress window in that room. Cutting foundation and installing an egress well runs $3,500–$6,000.

+Typical budget?

$45–$75 per finished square foot for standard finish. Add $8k–$18k for a full bathroom, $4k–$9k for a wet bar.

Reviews from Omaha homeowners & property managers

MDIN completely transformed our outdated master bath into a spa-like retreat. The tile work is flawless and the team stayed on schedule. Communication was excellent from estimate to final walkthrough.

Jennifer M.
West Omaha, NE · Master Bathroom Remodel

We interviewed four contractors before choosing MDIN and it was the right call. Cabinets, quartz counters, backsplash, flooring — everything done in three weeks with zero surprises on the invoice.

David & Karen R.
Millard, NE · Kitchen Renovation

They finished 900 sq ft of basement — framing, drywall, egress, bathroom, LVP flooring. Clean worksite every single day and the quality is honestly better than the main floor of our house.
