Easy Process To Your Finished Basement

Reliable General Contracting

Planning The Design & Budgeting

Before construction, we need a plan. We want to learn more about your vision and needs. Do you need a bathroom and guest room? Or is this space meant to be a home theater with enough room for a pool table?  All of these questions will be asked during the planning phase and then we can look at space as a whole  We will work with you budget to maximize the area and meet all of your needs. Whether that means compromising on a few wish-list items or you provide your own materials - we will work with you to make your basement dreams a reality, no matter how big or small your basement and vision is!

Framing & Sheetrock (Dry wall)

Building the frames for new walls are typically made out of wood, but we will not hesitate to use steel if needed. The electrical plan will already be laid out before constructing new framing. This provides a clear layout for the electrical wiring within the walls.

Electrical & Lighting

Yes, we will install any sub-paneling, wiring, recessed lighting and light fixtures. Lighting is key to maxmizing your space in the basement and an integral stage in the remodeling process. 

Plumbing

Do you need a powder room or full bath downstairs? Do you want to keep your laundry room in the basement?  Sewer lines may be located above or below your basement level and your plumbing will need to be aligned.  For new installs or remodels we will find the right solution during the planning process.

Painting

The first step to our flawless painting is in the prep. From smoothing down walls, repairing cracks, and helping you find the perfect color scheme -  our team is trained on details and technique.

Trims, Doors & Crown Molding

Planning out doors is part of the process. Some important things to consider include: door handle and door size and the direction the door swings open. When it comes to trim - we can get as detailed as you want or keep things simple. 

Flooring

A lot goes into choosing the most appropriate type of floor material. We will look at the function of your room, durability, comfort, and your budget.  Our technicians are trained to lay the ground work efficiently with an attention to every detail like protecting your walls, trim, and door frames.

Fast. Friendly & Always on Time
