Many homes in Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs were built with unfinished basements, which makes the basement the most affordable place to add living space. It’s also easy to get wrong: moisture, poor insulation, and missing egress can turn a new family room into a mold problem or a failed inspection.
Popular basement projects
- Family rooms and home theaters
- Bedrooms with code-compliant egress windows
- Full and half bathrooms
- Home gyms and offices
- Basement apartments and rental units with a separate entrance
Moisture first
Before we frame a single wall, we look for signs of water intrusion and talk through drainage and vapor control. Then we insulate and frame with materials that hold up below grade.
Permits and inspections
Adding a bedroom, a bathroom, or new circuits usually needs a permit. We handle the application and schedule the inspections, so the finished space is documented when you sell.
Materials we use
- Moisture-resistant walls: Mold-resistant drywall, waterproofing sealants, and rigid foam insulation.
- Flooring: Luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, or engineered hardwood made for basements.
- Ceilings and lighting: Drop or drywall ceilings, recessed lighting, and soundproofing insulation.
- HVAC and ventilation: Heating, cooling, and airflow extended to every room.
- Custom features: Built-in shelving, wet bars, home theater wiring, and bathrooms.
