What's Included

Everything a Finished Basement Needs

One crew, one schedule, one price. Here is what we take care of.

  • Framing & insulation

    Walls framed and insulated so the space stays warm and dry.

  • Egress & code items

    Egress windows, stairs and fire blocking handled to code.

  • Drywall & ceilings

    Drywall, paint, trim and a ceiling that hides the pipes and ducts.

  • Outlets & circuits

    Outlets where you need them, plus circuits for a TV wall, office or gym.

  • Lighting

    Recessed lights on dimmers, so the basement does not feel like a basement.

  • Bathroom or wet bar

    Add a bathroom or wet bar while the walls are open.

Electrician-Led

Plan the Power Before the Walls Go Up

A finished basement adds outlets, lights and often a bathroom or office, and that can push an older panel past its limit. Because we are electricians first, we check your panel and plan every circuit while the framing is still open.

FAQ

Basement Finishing Questions

Do you handle the whole basement?

Yes. Framing, insulation, electrical, drywall and the finish work, with the other trades coordinated by us.

My basement gets damp. Can it still be finished?

Usually, yes. We look at moisture first and deal with it before any walls go up.

Can you add a bathroom in the basement?

Yes. It is easiest to plan it while the space is still open, so the plumbing and fan go in with the framing.

Do you pull the permits?

Yes. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections, including smoke and CO detection.
