Our Basement Remodeling Services
Waterproofing & Moisture Control
We begin with a complete moisture audit and install advanced waterproofing systems (interior drainage, vapor barriers, sump pumps) to ensure a dry and healthy space.
Insulation & Soundproofing
We improve thermal performance and acoustic comfort using spray foam, rigid board, resilient channels, or specialized acoustic insulation systems.
Structural & Framing Upgrades
From reinforcing existing beams to repositioning support columns, we ensure your basement layout is structurally sound and future-ready.
Egress Windows & Code Compliance
We install or expand egress windows where required, and make sure your basement meets all local building codes, lighting, ceiling height, and exit requirements.

We reroute or install HVAC ducting, energy-efficient lighting, plumbing for bathrooms or wet bars, and ensure each run is code-compliant and efficiently designed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a basement remodel cost in Metro Atlanta?
Budgets vary by scope, size, and finishes. Many projects begin around mid‑five figures and increase with additions such as bathrooms, kitchens/bars, and extensive moisture control.
How long does basement finishing take?
Timelines typically range from 6–12 weeks once construction begins, depending on complexity, inspections, and material lead times. Lead time for design, selections, and permitting can add 1-3+ weeks depending on materials and scope.
Do you handle design, permits, and inspections?
Yes. As a licensed design-build contractor, we manage the full process—design, selections, permitting, licensed trades, and inspections—through final walkthrough.
Do you handle waterproofing before finishes?
Yes. We assess moisture sources and address them up front—drainage, vapor barriers, sump/dehumidification—so finishes perform over time.
What areas do you serve?
Atlanta and the surrounding metro, including Decatur, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Avondale Estates, and nearby neighborhoods.
Can you add a bathroom or guest suite?
Absolutely. We design for plumbing, ventilation, and egress to create comfortable guest suites or in‑law accommodations.
Will a finished basement feel cold or damp?
With proper moisture control, insulation, and HVAC balancing, finished basements are comfortable, stable, and energy‑efficient.
