Basement Buildout

Turning an unfinished basement into usable square footage starts below the studs, with framing that accounts for the slab and walls it's built against rather than on top of them. This buildout carries that framing through drywall, trim and a flooring system rated for a below grade room.

A finished basement adds livable space without the cost of an addition, which is most of why it's one of the highest return remodels a homeowner can make.
