Basement Finishing Questions
How much does basement finishing cost?
Basement finishing typically costs $30-$75 per square foot, depending on finishes and features. A 1,000 sq ft basement might range from $30,000-$75,000. Factors include moisture mitigation needs, egress windows, bathroom additions, and finish quality. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your basement.
Do I need egress windows in my basement?
Maine building code requires egress windows in any basement bedroom for emergency escape. Even if not creating bedrooms, egress windows add value, natural light, and safety. We handle all aspects including excavation, window installation, and well construction.
What about moisture and water issues?
We assess moisture levels before finishing begins. Solutions may include exterior drainage improvements, interior waterproofing, vapor barriers, and dehumidification. Never finish a wet basement—we ensure it's dry and stays dry.
How long does basement finishing take?
Most basement finishing projects take 6-12 weeks depending on size, complexity, and moisture mitigation needs. We provide realistic timelines and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Can you add a bathroom in the basement?
Yes! We regularly add full or half bathrooms in finished basements. This may require ejector pumps if plumbing is below the main sewer line. We handle all plumbing, electrical, and ventilation requirements.
What's the best flooring for basements?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is our top recommendation for Maine basements—waterproof, warm underfoot, durable, and affordable. Carpet with moisture-resistant padding works well in dry basements. We avoid hardwood due to moisture sensitivity.
