Basement Renovations
Finish or refinish your basement for additional living, office, or entertainment space.
Overview
A clear summary of the service and what to expect — written for homeowners.
Transforming unused or underutilized basements into comfortable, code-compliant living spaces. We address moisture control, egress, insulation, and mechanical systems to create spaces that are dry, safe, and energy efficient.
Moisture Control & Structural Prep
We begin with a full assessment—installing vapor barriers, sump pumps, and proper drainage when required. Structural work, framing, and insulation are done to meet code and ensure long-term performance.
Lighting, HVAC & Comfort
Basements require intentional lighting design and HVAC planning. We add LED lighting, proper ducting or mini-split systems, and finished flooring that handles below-grade conditions.
Typical Timeline
Standard basements: 6–12 weeks. Complex conversions with bathrooms or kitchens: 10–20 weeks depending on permit and utility work.

Medium Projects
6–12 weeks — kitchen/bath remodels, moderate scope
