What’s Involved in Finishing a Basement?
Finishing a basement is more involved than finishing an above-grade room, mainly because of moisture control, egress requirements, and ceiling height considerations. Our process accounts for all three from the start.
- Moisture assessment and vapor barrier installation before any framing begins.
- Framing and insulation suited to below-grade conditions.
- Egress window installation where a space will be used as a bedroom.
- Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC coordination for the finished layout.
- Drywall, flooring, and finish work to match the rest of your home.
