From Homeowners Like You
"We had 1,200 square feet of concrete and cobwebs down there. Jason transformed it into a space our teenagers actually want to hang out in—and we got a guest room with full bath. It's like we gained a whole new floor of our house."
What Goes Into a Quality Basement Finish
A basement isn't just another room—it requires specialized solutions for moisture, ceiling height, lighting, and egress to create comfortable living space.
Moisture Control
We assess and address any moisture issues first. Proper vapor barriers, drainage, and dehumidification ensure your finished space stays dry for decades.
Ceiling & Lighting
Strategic ceiling design maximizes headroom while hiding mechanicals. Layered lighting transforms windowless spaces into bright, inviting rooms.
HVAC & Electrical
Extending or supplementing your heating/cooling system ensures year-round comfort. We plan electrical for current needs and future flexibility.
Egress & Safety
Bedrooms require egress windows for safety and code compliance. We handle window well excavation, installation, and permits.
Adding a Bathroom Below Grade?
A basement bathroom or wet bar requires specialized plumbing. When your fixtures are below the main sewer line, we install sewage ejector systems that pump waste up to your existing plumbing.
We've installed hundreds of these systems across Spokane. Done right, they're reliable and maintenance-free. Done wrong, they're a nightmare. We do it right.

Common Questions About Basement Finishing
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Spokane homeowners.
How long does a basement finish typically take?
A full basement finish typically takes 6-10 weeks depending on size and complexity. A basic finish with one bathroom might be closer to 6 weeks, while a full suite with wet bar, theater, and multiple rooms could be 10+ weeks. We'll provide a specific timeline after assessment.
What's the typical investment for a basement finish in Spokane?
Basement finishes typically range from $40-$80+ per square foot depending on finishes and whether plumbing is involved. A 1,000 sq ft basement might range from $40,000-$80,000+. Adding a bathroom or wet bar increases cost. We provide detailed estimates after our assessment.
My basement has moisture—can it still be finished?
Often yes, but we need to address the moisture first. Some moisture issues are minor and easily solved; others require more significant intervention. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend solutions before finishing. We never cover up problems.
Do I need permits for a basement finish?
Yes, basement finishes require building permits for framing, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Adding bedrooms requires egress windows. We handle all permit applications and inspections—you don't have to deal with any of it.
What about low ceiling heights?
Most Spokane basements have 7-8 foot ceilings before finishing. We design ceiling solutions that maximize headroom—sometimes using drywall ceilings, sometimes strategic soffits around mechanicals. We'll show you options during consultation.
Can you work around existing mechanicals?
Yes. Furnaces, water heaters, and other equipment need to remain accessible. We design around them, sometimes relocating ducts or pipes to improve the layout. We'll walk you through options and tradeoffs during planning.
