Our basement projects include licensed electrical work and certified HVAC installation specifically for basement finishing. We install new circuits, recessed lighting, outlets, smoke/CO detectors, and panel upgrades as needed to meet local codes. Our HVAC-certified team designs proper heating, cooling, and ventilation so your basement is dry, comfortable, and evenly heated/cooled all year. You get safe, code-compliant basement electrical and HVAC that helps your project pass inspections and protects your home.

We offer professional basement design and space planning to make the most of every square foot. From open-concept basement layouts to separate bedroom, office, gym, or bar areas, we create a clear plan before construction begins. Our designers help with layout, lighting plans, outlet locations, storage solutions, and egress window requirements for safety and comfort. This planning-first approach delivers functional, smart basement floor plans that work for real life, not just on paper.

We address the basics that make finished basements last: moisture control, waterproofing, and proper insulation. Our team can help with vapor barriers, mold-resistant materials, sump pump or drain solutions, and soundproofing where needed. We recommend the right insulation, drywall, and flooring for basements, including options like LVP, tile, and carpet designed for below-grade spaces. The result is a dry, quiet, energy-efficient basement remodel that feels like true living space, not just a “fixed-up” basement.
