Basement Remodeling in Lansing, MI
Turn an unfinished or underused basement into a comfortable living space with a carefully planned remodel
Make the Most of the Space Beneath Your Home
Basements often hold some of the most untapped potential in a home. With the right design and planning, that lower level can become a comfortable place to relax, host guests, or create extra room for hobbies and entertainment.
At Odd Fellows Contracting, basement remodeling projects begin with a detailed design-build process that focuses on planning before construction begins. Layout decisions, material selections, and scheduling are all addressed up front so the project moves forward with clarity and fewer surprises once construction starts.
We work with homeowners throughout Lansing, Okemos, East Lansing, Holt, Grand Ledge, and the Greater Lansing area who want to turn unfinished basements or outdated lower levels into functional spaces that feel like a natural extension of the home.

"We had Odd Fellows Contracting finish off our basement. They put in a living area, bedroom and bathroom. Each phase of the process was done very professionally from the planning stages to the actual work being complete. Communication with our project manager was great. The finished product looks outstanding and we are very happy we chose Odd Fellows to do the work."
Ryan P.
"Working with Odd Fellows was a great experience. We had them renovate our basement in our East Lansing home and they did a wonderful job. They had great craftsmanship in their work and the process was smooth. Having a design team on staff is a great benefit. They created a 3D rendering of our space so we were able to completely visualize it before construction even began. Helped us feel confident in the plan and they executed it perfectly!"
David S.
"Odd Fellows Contracting did a fantastic job for us this past Summer/Fall on the remodel of our lower level adding a bedroom, relocating a craft room, painting, and a double egress window. It was not easy for them but they worked together to overcome any obstacles to make everything look wonderful when done. They communicated with us each step of the way and I would recommend them to anyone I come in touch with. They did a great job for us."
