Our Team will guide you through the balance between the best return on investment and meeting your current needs.

How much does it cost to remodel a basement?

Costs can vary based on materials, size, and added features, but here are some ballpark estimates:

Finished Basement Facelift – paint, flooring, and other minor updates. You can expect to spend $25 to $75+ per sqft.
Finishing a Framed Basement – drywall, ceiling, flooring, lighting, plumbing, HVAC. You can expect $75 to $150+ per square foot.
Full Basement Upgrade – all of the above, plus structural modifications, custom features, high-end finishes, etc. You can expect to spend $100-350+ per square foot.

How long does a typical basement remodeling project take?

Depending on the size and scope of work, refinishing a basement will take 2–8 weeks, while remodeling a basement could take 8-16+ weeks. One benefit of remodeling these spaces is that they are typically more isolated from the main home, meaning your family is not impacted as much by the construction mess.

What types of rooms or features can be included in a basement remodel?

Here are a few possible features to include in your basement remodel:

Do you handle unfinished basements?

Our team is skilled at both finishing and remodeling basements! Unsure which is which? Finishing a basement refers to completing a basement with no drywall, finished flooring, lighting, etc. Remodeling refers to layout changes, all-new finishes, and custom features.

What are some basement-specific design considerations?

Moisture Control is essential for basement projects, so make sure your home is properly waterproofed when considering this type of project.
Lighting Design is another thing to consider in your basement – it is often the difference between a dingy basement feel and a comfortable, warm space to enjoy.
Insulation and Soundproofing – Proper insulation improves energy efficiency. If you work from home or need to create a quiet environment, consider adding acoustic panels, sound-reducing insulation, or specialized drywall to reduce noise.
Use Moisture-Resistant Materials: luxury vinyl plank, tile, or sealed concrete.

Will remodeling fix the moisture problem in my basement?

While a remodel can significantly reduce or eliminate moisture, it’s important to address underlying issues first. Simply covering up problems with finishes can lead to more significant issues down the line. Our team is well-versed in finding and resolving the root problem, so you don’t have to worry about moisture in the future.

Do you handle permits and inspections for basement remodeling?

Yes, we handle all permitting and inspections with the proper municipality and code officials.

Can I make a basement out of my crawlspace?

In some cases, you can convert a crawlspace into a basement by removing the soil underneath to add height and doing structural work to reinforce the home’s foundation. In most cases, adding a basement under a pre-built home is cost-prohibitive. During our first in-home meeting, your Project Planner can assess whether your home is suitable for adding a basement.
