Our work
FAQ
Costs vary with scope and finishes. Expect a wide range depending on square footage, structural changes, and required MEP work; we provide a written estimate after a site walkthrough to itemize costs and options.
Small-to-medium conversions commonly take 8–14 weeks after permits are approved. Permit lead times in Passaic County can add several weeks; we include a projected schedule in the proposal and work to minimize delays.
Many homeowners stay in the house while we work, but expect intermittent noise, dust containment, and limited access to certain systems. We discuss a phased approach to keep disruption to a minimum and provide a timeline for each phase.
Most conversions require building permits, electrical and plumbing permits, and inspections for egress, fire separation, and mechanical systems. We handle permit applications and coordinate inspections as part of the project.
Schedule a consultation and on-site walkthrough. We’ll measure the basement, identify code or structural issues, and deliver a written estimate with a proposed schedule.
