1

Framing (1 to 2 weeks)

First up: the fundamentals of your basement including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-ins.

2

Drywall (3 weeks)

It's starting to look like a home as we install boarding, insulation, and do taping and texture priming.

3

Finishing (3 weeks)

Time to install cabinets, lay down flooring, put up millwork and create your space!

Detailing (2 to 3 weeks)

Next up are the little touches: tilework, hardware, fixtures, doors, vents, and more!

5

Completion (1 to 2 weeks)

Last are city inspections, a homeowner walk-through, our final fixes, and, of course, cleanup.
