Seattle-Area Basement Remodeling

Create more space for your family, a dedicated space for guests, or turn your basement into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Sometimes called in-law apartments, ADUs can earn you rental income or make intergenerational living more comfortable.

Complete Basement Transformations

Make your basement a natural extension of your home.

Beyond increasing the usable square footage of your home, a basement renovation gives you the opportunity to waterproof and seismically retrofit your foundation, keeping your home on solid footing. Our team can also help you relocate or improve staircases, increase natural light, improve drainage, or add an outside entrance.

Client-Centered Design

Basement and ADU solutions that work for your life.

When it comes to an unfinished or outdated basement, your possibilities are endless. Talk to our team about your vision and together we’ll collaborate on ways to make the space work for you, whether it’s adding a master suite, playroom, entertainment space, office, or all of the above. You may find that digging down or lifting up your home gives you all the space you need without taking on the cost of a second-story addition.

Design-Build Methodology

See your vision come to life.

As a design-build firm, we work with you from conception to construction of your basement or ADU remodel. That means we can show you cost estimates at every major step in the design phase and lock pricing before any work begins. We put a lot of effort into providing accurate estimates so you can build your final design without any last-minute concessions.
