Finish Basement

Would you like a finish basement or an in-law suite?

If you have existing house drawings along with the site plan/survey, email them to us. If you do not have the original drawings then we will come out and take measurements of the basement to design for the proposed finish basement.

 

If your basement is not at the backyard level and there is a need for a set of stairs from the basement to the grade, basement walk-up, we need to find out the zoning of the property and the minimum setbacks to the property lines to figure out the feasibility of the proposed location.

 

Leave your information below so that we contact you for more information and provide you with a FREE estimate.

 

Please note that the local municipality may require you to provide an updated survey with grading information. This has to be done by a licensed surveyor.  Leave us your contact info to have a licensed surveyor call you for an estimate.
