DIY Basements

Are you considering a DIY basement project and don’t know where, or how, to get started? Have you started looking into the do-it-yourself process and feel confident in finishing the project, but nervous about the heavy lifting? It’s completely natural to feel a bit overwhelmed when beginning a DIY renovation, especially in a space like the basement, which may present unique challenges.

We’re here to help.

What we offer

We do the bulk work and heavy lifting to get your project off the ground, allowing you to do the basement finishing and save money.

Demolition

Our experience in demolition ensures that any existing materials or structures that aren’t needed in your design can be safely and efficiently removed.

Framing, Electric, and Plumbing

Once the space is cleared, we can handle the essential framing to establish the layout you desire while ensuring it meets building codes and structural integrity. We can install the electrical system, ensuring that you have the right outlets and lighting (such as recessed lights) in locations that best serve your needs. We are also equipped to adjust and install plumbing lines if your basement will include a bathroom or bar area.

HVAC

If heating or cooling is necessary, our team can extend the HVAC system to ensure a comfortable atmosphere throughout the basement space.

Drywall

We can install the drywall, creating an inviting, blank canvas ready for paint. This sets the stage for you to add your personal touches and share your unique story in this new area of your home.

Lower Costs

A typical full basement renovation can cost you $55 - 75/sq. ft. Allowing us to do the heavy lifting for you can bring the cost down to potentially less than $40/sq. ft.
