accurate measurements are vital

Our standard rate for a basement finish is $28 per square foot for basements over 800 square feet.
This includes all standard construction items: Building Permit, Framing, Electrical, HVAC, Drywall, Finish Carpentry, Doors, Painting, and Carpet.

Optional or Non-Standard Finishes
Are there additional costs?
Depending on your basement layout and preferences, most basement finishes have three additional costs.
Common Upgrades:
- LVP Flooring—This is a frequent upgrade to more durable flooring. The cost is about double that of carpet, or about $6 a square foot.
- Bathrooms: If your basement has plumbing, it is common to add a bathroom. Our typical bathroom includes a nice tub/shower combo, an elongated bowl toilet, and a 36″ vanity with a solid-surface countertop. It is only $6800 complete.
- Wet Bars & Kitchenettes: Wet bars are great for entertaining. A typical three-cabinet wet bar with a granite countertop costs $3700. This is a great price for the quality of the materials included.
Optional or Non-Standard Finishes

- A floor covering that is becoming more popular is LVP flooring. The cost of installation is $6.00 per square foot.
