Basement Finishing

Framing, wiring, drywall, floors and stairs, done as one job by one crew.

You get finished rooms that stay dry and feel like the rest of the house.

Scope
Framing, egress windows, wiring, drywall, flooring rated for below grade, stairs and trim.
What is different
We check for water outside and headroom overhead before we draw a single wall.

Questions

Commonly asked

Does my basement need an egress window?

Yes if any room will be a bedroom, and the permit sets the size.

What if the basement has been wet?

We fix the cause first, which is usually grading, gutters or downspouts outside.
