Yes, we are fully licensed and insured so you can rest easy knowing that your project and home are protected.

Each basement remodel is unique so there will be several factors to consider when determining the timeline of your project. After our initial assessment, we will create and review a 3D model that includes all the details of your design. Once we have the full scope of your project, we will provide you with an expected start and end date. Any changes once the project begins can affect the timeline, so getting your plans finalized before the work begins will help you reach the earliest completion date.

In most cases, you will need a permit for any major home remodel project, including finishing a basement.

However, this can vary based on where you live and the building code set by your local building department. In some areas, only projects that change the utility of your home require a permit, while others might require permits for any interior work, including drywall replacement. We will research the requirements in your area to ensure all the proper documentation is completed before your project begins.

One of our highest values is communication. We will provide you with consistent updates throughout the process, so you know how your project is progressing. Collaboration and synergy are the foundation of any successful renovation project and those are only achieved through trust. We listen, support, and build that trust with consistency and follow-through. Most importantly, we never stray from the core values of respect and kindness that guide our communication.

We believe that every customer should have the opportunity to select their own details to save on costs.
