Basements
Basement finishing that feels like part of the house
Framing, drywall, flooring, lighting, and a bath or kitchenette when the plan calls for one. The goal is a room you use, not a dropped ceiling over concrete.
The photo is an in-progress job, not a finished basement.
Homeowners have hired us to finish raw basements into living space and, in one case, a full apartment. Jane described a raw concrete basement with exposed beams that became an independent apartment, and she wrote that the crew handled the structural quirks and kept the job moving. L. Hill's project was flooring, ceiling, lighting, and a full bathroom redo.
Kristen Knight's basement ran into a subcontractor change, missed HVAC, and finish work that was not acceptable. She brought it to Esre. He came to see it, agreed it was below the standard, and had the basement redone after it had already been paid for. She wrote that she would hire him again.
We don't have a set of finished basement photos in this library yet — the picture on this page is a basement kitchenette still in progress. Ask to walk a current job, or judge the work from the reviews, until we photograph a completed basement.
A typical basement in the estimator is 800 sq ft. The planning range shows after you send your info. The bid is written after a free visit.
Living space
Family rooms, bedrooms, and offices, with lighting and ceiling work included in the plan.
Baths downstairs
A new bath or a full redo, which is what L. Hill had done with the rest of the basement.
Kitchenettes and apartments
Jane's project became an independent basement apartment. We'll talk through layout, egress, and what the city will require before we price it.
Making it right
If the work misses, Esre has shown up and redone it. That is the standard the reviews describe.
“Universe Construction turned an unfinished basement into a comfortable, high quality living area that fits my vision perfectly.”
