Rooms & prices
A budget with
some room in it.
These planning ranges cover a dry, unfinished basement with straightforward access. We measure and write a price for your home before any work begins.
Three useful starting points
A family floor
$38,000–$56,000500–700 square feet. A larger gathering room, a storage closet and a small desk area, with the same finish package.
Room for company
$58,000–$80,000750–1,000 square feet. A family room plus a separate office or guest room. Guest-room access and window needs are reviewed before the layout is agreed.
Planning ranges include labor and standard materials. Bathrooms, kitchenettes, major utility changes and changes to exterior access or windows are priced separately. Furniture is not included.
Before a wall goes up.
We check for moisture at the site visit, look for stains or damp areas, and ask what happens after heavy rain. If there’s an unresolved moisture issue, we pause the finish plan until it has been addressed and reassessed.
Before you choose a room
Can this become a guest room?
Possibly. We review the access, ceiling height and window needs at the visit before including a guest room in the written scope. A separate office can be a better fit for some basements.
Is moisture work included?
No. These ranges are for finishing a basement that is ready to build in. If we find an unresolved moisture issue, the finishing project waits.
Let’s look downstairs.
A few measurements, a conversation about the room, and a check for moisture come first.
