      Our standard is an elevated experience, so no matter the budget or project size, every client receives the same high level of care and service.

        How it Works

        Your basement building process made as simple as possible - divided into different stages so you know what to expect throughout the project.

        Our transparent approach allows our clients to feel at ease as your basement undergoes development.

        • Step-1
          Discovery

          Discovery is where your project begins. We take time to understand how you want your space to look, feel, and function, while also discussing a rough investment range based on your goals and project scope, so you have a realistic starting point before design begins.

        • Step-2
          We come to you

          We Come to You is where we visit your home to see the space in person. We take measurements, review the layout, and begin developing a custom floor plan and project specifications tailored to your basement.

        • Step-3
          Quoting

          Quoting is where we provide a detailed, comprehensive price based on your finalized layout and specifications. We work to keep the project within your target budget, and unlike many contractors, we don’t estimate, we quote, so you know exactly what your investment looks like before construction begins.

        • Step-4
          Walk-Through & Rough-In

          This is where we meet on site and work hand in hand with you to lay out the floor plan directly in the space. We review the entire project scope and specifications one final time, ensuring everything is aligned before construction moves forward. This stage also marks the official start of construction, beginning with framing and plumbing and electrical rough-ins.

        • Step-5
          Construction

          This is where we really shine, no one has more experience in basement construction than our team. After rough-ins and City inspections, drywall is installed and finished to a Level 4 standard, and ceiling texture is applied. Doors, casing, trim, and baseboards follow, with trim professionally sprayed on-site. The first coat of paint is applied, and a construction walk-through is completed before final finishing.

        • Step-6
          Final Touches

          Flooring, tile, lighting, switches, and plugs are installed, followed by bathroom fixtures and vanities. Final paint is applied, and both City and independent third-party inspections are completed. Finishing touch-ups are done throughout, the space is professionally cleaned, and a final homeowner walk-through wraps up the project.

        • Step-7
          5 Year Warranty

          Our commitment doesn’t end at completion. We stand behind our work for 5 years after your final walk-through, giving you long-term confidence in the quality of your basement. It’s added peace of mind, knowing we’re here if you ever need us.
