Custom Basement Build-Outs Designed Around Your Home
No two basements—or families—are exactly alike. Instead of forcing your space into a standard layout, we work with you to develop a basement design based on how you want to use the space.
Your finished basement could become a family room for movie nights, a home office, a game room, a fitness area, additional guest space, a hobby room, or a combination of spaces designed to give your family more room without moving or building a major addition.
We can help with both partial basement build-outs and complete basement transformations.
Basement Finishing Done With the Details in Mind
A successful basement renovation involves more than choosing flooring and paint colors. Because basements sit below grade, the existing conditions of the space need to be carefully considered before the finishing work begins.
Our team evaluates important factors such as the foundation, supporting structures, available space, moisture conditions and potential water concerns. Addressing these issues during the planning stage helps create a finished basement that looks great and performs well for years to come.
Depending on the design and scope of your project, your basement renovation may incorporate new walls and room layouts, insulation, drywall, lighting, flooring, storage and other interior finishes.

FAQ: Basement Remodeling
What's the difference between basement finishing, remodeling and a basement build-out?
Basement finishing generally means transforming an unfinished basement into livable interior space. Basement remodeling usually involves updating or reconfiguring a basement that is already at least partially finished. A basement build-out can refer to either process, depending on the existing space and the scope of construction.
Sunburst can help with both partial and complete basement projects.
Do basement renovations require permits?
Permit requirements depend on the work being completed and the jurisdiction where your home is located. Many residential renovation projects do require permits. Our team will review the requirements that apply to your project and help manage the permitting process when necessary.
What should be checked before finishing a basement?
Existing moisture or water issues, foundation conditions, supporting structures and the general configuration of the space should all be considered before finishing work begins. Evaluating these conditions early helps prevent costly problems after walls and flooring have been installed.
How much does it cost to finish a basement?
Basement remodeling costs vary considerably based on the size and condition of the space, the complexity of the layout, the features being added and the finishes you select. The best way to establish a realistic budget is to have our team evaluate your basement and discuss your goals.
Can I stay in my home while my basement is being remodeled?
In most cases, homeowners can remain in their homes during a basement renovation. We’ll discuss the construction plan with you before work begins and work to minimize disruption to your household.
