Questions

Frequently asked

Not seeing yours? Get in touch.

How long does it take to finish a basement?
Most finished basements take 6–10 weeks depending on size and whether we're adding bathrooms, egress windows, or a bar.
Do I need permits to finish my basement?
Yes — and we pull them. Egress windows for bedrooms and any electrical or plumbing work require permits and inspections.
Can you add a bathroom in the basement?
Absolutely. If plumbing rough-in exists, it's straightforward. If not, we can core the slab and add drain lines.
