Why We’re Not the Cheapest And Why That Matters

Some basement finishing companies advertise a lower starting price. But when you look at what’s actually included and how the space is built, that “cheap” option often leads to costly problems later.

Basements require the right materials, the right process, and the right team. Here’s what sets our basement finishing division apart:

What We Do	What Many Others Do

What Impacts Basement Finishing Costs?

Size of Finished Space

Size is the biggest factor that determines cost. When selecting the area to estimate, focus only on the spaces you plan to finish. Leave out unfinished utility rooms, laundry areas, or storage spaces. And if measuring square footage feels uncertain, don’t worry, our estimator offers helpful ranges.

Bathrooms or Bar Add-Ons

Keep in mind that adding features like bathrooms, kitchenettes, or bars will increase the project cost. Our estimator lets you see how each choice affects the total, so feel free to test different configurations.

Unique Basement Materials

We use a high-performance basement finishing system designed for energy efficiency and moisture resistance. If you’re exploring specialty features, like home theaters or wet bars, try running those choices separately for the clearest cost comparison.
