We’ll help you create a state-of-the-art home theater. If you can dream it, we can bring it to life!

Honestly, what can’t you turn a basement into? Here are just some of the transformations we’ve seen:

• Combination home theatre and wet bar that include everything you need for entertaining: big screen projection, surround sound, and comfortable seating. At the bar you have refrigerators, beer and soda taps, and an ice-makers, tons of storage for barware and mixings, custom cabinetry and, of course, a beautiful bar with solid countertop, a footrail, and bar seating.
• Home office or hobby room that is far from the hustle and bustle of the main living area.
• Second kitchen with access to back yard.
• Kids playroom and/or teen hangout.
• In-law suite or en suite guest room.
• Custom wine cellar.
• Home gym or yoga studio complete with treadmills, workout equipment, stationery bikes, room to lay out your yoga mats, and flat-screen televisions.
• Laundry rooms with built-in storage

Many clients choose to incorporate two or more of these ideas into the space. The options are endless!

No matter what basement design you have in mind, we can create a lower level living space that perfectly matches your family’s lifestyle.

Thirty years of experience has given us a lot of time to hone our basement remodeling process into a well-oiled machine. While the process for remodeling a basement is similar to remodeling any other room in your home, there are a few things to watch out for before you get started.

Before we even start designing, we inspect the basement’s interior for possible water issues.

We then inspect the ground outside to make sure it’s graded away from the foundation. And we look for foundation wall cracks. If we discover any, they must be repaired before work begins.

We also confirm your neighborhood’s permit regulations and building costs, particularly for electrical and plumbing work which requires inspection.
