Finished Basements

Spread the love

One of the most cost effective additions to any home is easily achieved by finishing the basement.  The key is to finding a qualified finished basement designer who is capable of first designing a unique plan that meets the needs of the homeowner and their family.  In addition, the plan should maximize the use of the space and be affordable, as everyone has a budget to meet!  The next step is to find a contractor that is able to execute the plan, while meeting the budget, applicable building codes and the schedule.  It is now possible to use the same company to provide design services, as well as to do the actual construction on he space.  These “design build” services are becoming more and more popular in residential remodeling work, as it is a “win –win” proposition for both the homeowner and the contractor. 

The design of the basement will be based upon the needs of the homeowner, the available space, their budget and applicable building codes.  A company that provides both design and construction services will be able to provide instant feedback to the designer on costs and constructability issues.  Ultimately this interaction between the design and construction divisions of a design build company benefit the customer by providing a high quality product, which is within budget and exceeds the expectations of the homeowner. 

A qualified finished basement contractor who is licensed and insured will be able to provide both design and construction services on your new finished basement which will help ensure that the project is completed on time and on budget!
