What we do for basement apartments and in‑law suites

We convert unfinished basements into self-contained living units or attached in‑law suites: framing, insulation, drywall, new kitchens, bathrooms with proper ventilation, electrical upgrades, heating distribution, flooring, interior doors and trim, and built-in storage. Work focuses on code-compliant egress, moisture control, and noise separation.

Common project features

  • Layout planning and floor framing to create bedrooms and living areas
  • Full bathroom installs with waterproofing and venting
  • Small kitchen or kitchenette installs with cabinetry and counters
  • Finished walls, ceilings, paint, trim, and interior doors
  • Lighting, outlets, and safe electrical circuits for a separate unit

Project expectations

  • We provide a phased interior scope and materials list before work starts
  • Permitting and inspections are coordinated with Union County authorities when required
  • Onsite work typically requires staged access and daily cleanup to protect the rest of the house

How a typical basement apartment job moves forward

  • Consultation & walkthrough to confirm scope and note egress, headroom, and utilities
  • Design and estimate with line-item pricing for finishes and systems
  • Permit submission and rough‑in phase (framing, plumbing, electrical)
  • Finish phase (insulation, drywall, floors, trim, fixtures) and final inspection

FAQ

Basement Apartment / In-Law Suite in Union - common questions

How much does a basement apartment / in‑law suite typically cost in Union?

Costs vary by size, finish level, and existing conditions; expect a wide range depending on whether structural work, new stairs, or full MEP upgrades are needed. We provide a walkthrough and a written estimate listing options so you can compare line items.

How long will construction take from permit to completion?

A straightforward interior finish often takes 8–12 weeks after permits; projects needing structural changes or extensive utility work can take longer. Permit lead times in Union County affect the schedule; we review timing at the initial walkthrough.

Will I be able to live in the house during the remodel?

Many homeowners remain in the house while we work, but expect staged access, noise, dust containment, and periodic shutdowns of circuits or water to the work area. We outline daily access rules and cleanup in the project plan.

What’s the next step to get a quote or plan?

Request a consultation and walkthrough so we can evaluate your basement, discuss egress and code issues, and prepare a detailed estimate and timeline.
