Our Transparent Step by Step Process

The first step of our process is to give us a call at (301) 798-4444 to receive a basement remodeling or basement finishing quote in under five minutes.

Or, simply fill out our ONLINE FORM to receive a downloadable PDF version of the basement finishing estimate along with detailed descriptions.

After receiving a free basement finishing quote, one of our professional Basement Masters representatives will personally visit you at your home to discuss the project and walk you through your space, exploring all of the possibilities and offering expert advice. By the end of the consultation, we will provide a written estimated cost to finish the basement that's based on the first look at the project.

We’d like to meet you! Our showroom is the perfect place to discuss your project, go over ideas and get to know our team. We are available by appointment only (call now 301-798-4444 or schedule online right now).

This in-home consultation is to finalize the details of the project (including upgrades and other design options) and agree upon a final cost. After we have a customized design that meets your budget specifications, we will accept a deposit and move into the pre-construction stage.

At this stage, we sign a contract, acquire all necessary basement remodeling permits, prepare the drawings, set up a work schedule and a few other important steps. Once all of the arrangements are in place, we hold a pre-construction meeting at your home with your design consultant, project manager and framing crew foreman to review the plan as a team and address any last-minute questions or concerns.

Here we go! All of the necessary papers and permits are in place, and now our basement contractors can create the space of your dreams. The basement construction phase – which consists of framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall hanging and finishing, painting, flooring, and more – typically lasts from 7-9 weeks. Please refer to our timeline for a more detailed description of the basement construction process.

Our design team would be glad to continue working with you after the construction is over. Please let us help you pick out furniture and accessories for your new basement – we would also like to take professional photographs of the finished results!
