The Right Basement Renovation Contractors For Your Project
Basement Walls

Many basements are unfinished, uninsulated, and underused. As part of your remodel, we’ll insulate the walls properly to improve comfort and energy efficiency, then finish them with drywall and paint for a clean, polished look.
Basement Flooring

Flooring is essential for turning a basement into a livable space. In about 90% of our projects, we install luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, which is durable, water-resistant, and ideal for basement conditions. If you prefer carpet, we can install that, too, provided the space is fully waterproofed.
Basement Ceiling

Many DC basements have low or unfinished ceilings. To meet code, ceilings must be at least 7 feet high, with a minimum of 6'4" under beams or bulkheads. We help design ceilings that meet regulations while improving the overall appearance of the space.
Basement Windows

New or upgraded windows can bring in natural light and make the basement feel more inviting. If you're adding a bedroom, an egress window is required by code to allow a safe exit in an emergency. We’ll ensure any window installation meets both your design goals and local regulations.

- Home Theater: For movie lovers, the basement can be a great place to create a home theater, allowing you to create a miniature cinema-like experience.
- Fitness Center: Elevate your fitness routine with a home gym, equipped to host everything from weights to a treadmill and more.
- Game Room: Whether you want the kids to have a space for gaming aside from the common area or to play more of your own games, a gaming room is a great way to keep the consoles and controllers out of the main space.
