What we do in a basement
Six kinds of work. Most jobs use four or five of them, and the moisture test comes before all of them.
Moisture test and report
Readings on every wall and the slab, a week of humidity data and a written report, before any quote.
Read moreFinishing a basement
Frame, insulate, wire, drywall, floor and light: a family room, a bedroom, an office or all three.
Read moreEgress windows
A cut in the foundation wall, a window and a well, so a basement bedroom has a way out.
Read moreBaths and laundry
A shower, a toilet or a laundry corner, planned around where your drain runs.
Read moreWalls, floors and insulation
Foam against the masonry, a stud wall in front and a floor with an air gap under it.
Read moreCeilings and lighting
Drywall or drop ceilings, access to valves and lights that suit the height you have.
