Finish Basement & Attics
Many private houses are built on small plots, where every square meter is worth its weight in gold. One economical and rational use of residential or commercial territory that provides additional usable space in the house is basement addition.
The possibility of arranging a basement floor is influenced by hydrogeological conditions that determine the level of water occurrence (if it is higher than the depth of the foundation, expensive waterproofing will be required). In addition, ground-level accommodations will not be cheap if the house is on a rock. Therefore, to avoid wasting your money, use the services of a home addition builder (in MA) for a basement addition to an existing house.
Our Services
Our company’s equipped and finished basement allows you to use the area rationally, provides usable space, creates maximum comfort, and also guarantees a dry and warm floor. The only drawback of the cellar is the need to carry out earthworks, which are considered the most expensive.
The average cost of addition with a basement in Massachusetts is $8,000-$20,000 per 100 square meters. This is not counting the cost of external waterproofing and wall insulation, arrangement, and interior decoration of its premises. Our company can help you with these works in compliance with the highest standards.
Planning & Designing
A basement in a private house is one of the necessary and critical quarters. Previously, it was arranged for storing various items, and even now, many leave this compartment as a utility room, garage, or cellar, not thinking that it contains additional square meters that can be used properly.
Show a little imagination, choose the right style with the help of our designers, and you can turn the ground floor into a spacious and functional room. Our experts can help with finishing the home addition with the basement and creating:

There are various schemes of basement renovations, but it is advisable to consider their purpose and number before constructing the main building. If you add it to a finished house, our company will help you with the project design process and building.
Finished Basement Additions
Before finishing work, we waterproof and insulate the basement and establish communications. Moisture ingress has a destructive effect on the structure of the house and contributes to the formation of mold, so we recommend using moisture-resistant materials. Decorating the floor, ceiling, and walls is carried out only after thoroughly cleaning and drying the room.
When adding an extension to a house, a screed on the floor is necessary to lay a “warm floor” or a finishing covering. Wires and water pipes, etc., can be hidden under the floor of the utility room. For walls mounted on a metal frame, it is better to use drywall with water-repellent properties. The lighting on the basement floor also has its characteristics. Due to the lack of windows, a higher intensity of artificial light is required to create a comfortable atmosphere.
