A Better Basement
Where design, detail, and experience elevate the standard
What We Do
At A Better Basement we pride ourselves on guiding our clients through all the facets of the design & build of your dream basement. Our years of experience help you and your family ensure your basement is as functional as it is beautiful. Not only will we help you design your space, we will also help guide you in making all of your choices: from cabinetry to flooring, plumbing and electrical fixtures, and everything else in between. All of this is done with your budget and style in mind.
Let's talk about your basement dreams!
Process
A Quality Experience from Beginning to End
1) Meet and Measure
This is our first meeting where we will start to understand your wants and needs and familiarize ourselves with your space. We will measure the space for our design software and discuss any obvious challenges.
2) Design and Discuss
After we have built your space into a digital model, we will have a couple back and forths on the direction the project is taking, any concerns you may have, and any items we see that may be problematic. We will also hone in on the level of finish to be done.
3) Produce the Plan
After clarifying and agreeing to a final design, we will produce a set of plans for permitting and begin drawing up a contract for the work. Any fixture choices that have yet to be made will be given an allowance and the eventual pricing will be based upon the actual selection once made.
4) Sign and Start
At this point we will sign a contract based on the agreed to design and give allowances for any unknowns. We will also pull a permit for the work to be done, order any items with advanced lead times, and zero in on a start date. Once we begin, all efforts will be made to protect the rest of the house from dust, etc.
5) Framing and Function
Let the fun begin! Any underground plumbing needed will commence with all framing right behind. All rough mechanical (HVAC), plumbing, electrical, and low-volt wiring will be done and inspected followed by insulation, drywall, and paint.
6) Fit and Finish
Flooring, cabinets, counters, tile, glass, fixtures, and audio/video, this is when it all comes together. With our keen eye on detail we bring everything together to make your vision finish as great as it started. A bit of cleaning and polish and we are out of your hair!
