We Guarantee You’ll Love Your Basement Finish

How can we make this promise? Before we start, we review every detail of your basement, including features, finishes, and budget. Your bid will reflect these options. We also create detailed digital plans to guide us through the construction to the desired outcome that we determined through our consultation.

We’ll carefully plan each phase of your basement project to stay on track with established timelines and to keep us on budget. We review the work with you throughout construction to catch any minor defects early on, making them easy to correct. After every city inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report confirming that all safety items meet code requirements. This thorough process ensures a smooth and successful basement finish.

Benefits of Basement Apartments

Extra Income Stream: Renting out your finished basement can provide a reliable source of additional income, helping to offset your mortgage or household expenses.
Tax Benefits: Renting out a portion of your home may qualify you for tax deductions on utilities, maintenance, and other expenses associated with the rental.
Flexibility for Future Use: If you no longer wish to rent, the space can easily be converted into a guest suite, home office, or entertainment area for your family.

Add Value to Your Home

Following correct building procedures and codes will add lasting value to your home. The extra finished square footage will increase your home’s resale value, and you’ll also have years to enjoy the new space and its features.

We’re here to help you choose the best features and design options to maximize value while staying within your budget. This will maximize your return on investment. Every dollar spent on construction prolongs the timeframe it will take to realize profitable income from your basement apartment.

A basement apartment can be a steady and reliable source of income. The homeowner of a basement apartment we recently finished is renting their basement for $1800 a month, which is a massive help for them with their home budget.

The Basement Finishing Process

Each Step Builds on the previous one to provide you with a great outcome!

When you receive a bid from us for your basement income apartment, it will clearly outline every feature and accurately represent the cost of each item. We believe in transparency, so our detailed scope of work will explain each step of the basement finishing process in simple, easy-to-understand terms. All allowances will be clearly labeled, ensuring no surprises along the way. We include pictures of each feature for added clarity, particularly for critical areas like the bathroom, along with precise material costs. This ensures that you fully understand the project’s expenses and can confidently move forward, knowing exactly what to expect. We aim to provide a seamless, stress-free experience as we transform your basement into a valuable income-generating apartment.

Your basement is unique, and we understand that it can sometimes be challenging for new clients to envision the finished space thoroughly. That’s why we take a personalized approach, designing your basement digitally to give you a clear picture of how everything will come together. Before we begin construction, we’ll sit down with you to review the design and ensure all plans and specifications meet your needs and expectations. This process helps ensure you’ll get the finished basement apartment you’ve been hoping for and minimizes the need for change orders, keeping your project on track and within budget. We aim to provide a smooth and transparent experience from start to finish so you can confidently move forward with your basement transformation.

We’ll begin the construction phase once we’ve finalized the scope of work and all the specifications for your basement income apartment. On average, a standard basement finish takes about 10-12 weeks to complete, though if you’ve chosen to include special features like a home theater, wet bar, or custom upgrades, it may take a bit longer. We’ll keep you informed throughout each construction phase, providing updates and ensuring everything progresses smoothly. We’ll also schedule regular walkthroughs with you to review the work in progress, address any questions, and ensure the project meets your expectations. We aim to make the process seamless and stress-free while delivering a high-quality basement apartment that adds value to your home.

We’ll coordinate all the necessary city safety inspections, ensuring that your basement income apartment meets every required code. After each inspection, we’ll provide written updates to inform you comprehensively about the results and any next steps. Once we’ve completed the final inspection with the city, we’ll also do a detailed walk-through to ensure everything meets your expectations. At that point, your basement will be officially complete, and you can start enjoying your basement. To give you even more peace of mind, our comprehensive warranty will cover all the finishes in your basement, ensuring you can enjoy your basement hassle-free for years.
