Basement renovation
Update an already finished basement. Start with worn finishes, lighting, comfort, storage, and any moisture problems. Retaining a workable layout can leave more of the budget for the improvements you use every day.

Basement Services and Planning Guides
- Basement layouts and finishes
- Permit and inspection coordination
- Suite and egress planning
Plan a finished basement, bedroom, bathroom, recreation space, or legal suite around the existing structure, moisture conditions, permits, and intended use.
What kind of basement project are you planning?
Basement development
Turn an unfinished lower level into usable living space. Plan the rooms, insulation, framing, electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and required permits together before drywall and finishes hide the work.
Basement remodeling
Change how an existing basement works. Moving walls, adding a bathroom or bedroom, and changing circulation can affect structure, mechanical access, and approvals. Assess those constraints before committing to a new floor plan.
