The Basement Finishing Process
Step 1: Consultation and Bid
During our initial consultation and bid, we will review your ideas, discuss budgets, and get an idea of your vision for the basement. We aim to make you feel actively involved in shaping the project. Our first bid will reflect this conversation. From there, we will work with you to refine the bid to include the basement remodel features you want while paying careful attention to your overall project budget.
Step 2: Digital Designs and Planning
This is the most important step in a basement remodel. We create the basement digitally first to give you confidence in the plan. You can see the plans and a 3D design so that you can visualize your basement before we start. This helps you focus on what matters most and get the basement remodel that works best for you and your family.
Step 3: Building/Construction
Once the city has approved the building permit, we will move into the building phase of basement remodeling. During this phase, we will update you regularly on your project’s progress and keep you informed about the overall schedule and timeline for completion.
Step 4: Completion
The final two steps for completing your basement remodeling project are the city’s final inspection and a final walk-through and punch list from you. When both are completed and the basement is to your satisfaction, the project will be complete, and your comprehensive two-year warranty will be active.
Options to Consider for Your Basement Bathroom
Tile Showers
With the right materials and proper waterproofing, a tile shower ensures durability, giving homeowners confidence that their investment will last over time and add a more finished feel to the space.
Double Sink Vanity
A double sink vanity adds convenience by giving two people space to get ready at the same time without crowding the area. It works best in larger basement bathrooms where there’s enough room to keep the layout comfortable and functional. With the right setup, it also adds storage and helps the space feel more complete and balanced, especially in larger bathrooms, reassuring homeowners considering upgrades about its practicality.
Rain-head Showers
A rain head shower adds a more relaxed, spa-like feel to a basement bathroom with wider water coverage and a softer flow. It creates a calming, indulgent experience that can make your daily routine feel more special. When planned correctly, it becomes a simple upgrade that makes the space feel more comfortable and finished.
Heated Tile Floors
Heated tile floors add comfort by taking the chill out of a naturally cooler basement bathroom. They provide consistent warmth underfoot and help the space feel more finished year-round. With proper installation, they’re a low-maintenance upgrade that improves everyday use without changing the layout.
