Frequently Asked Questions About Finishing Boston Basements
What is included in your basement remodeling expertise?
Our basement remodeling services cover everything from structural work to high-end finishes. We handle underpinning and basement dig-outs to create full-height ceilings, install advanced waterproofing and insulation systems, integrate radon mitigation, and ensure code-compliant egress solutions. We also design and build for a variety of uses, including in-law suites, ADUs, home theaters, gyms, and multi-purpose family rooms, all with a focus on quality craftsmanship and effortless cohesion with your existing home.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Massachusetts?
Yes. Most basement remodeling projects require a building permit, and if you’re adding bedrooms or creating an ADU, you’ll also need to meet Massachusetts egress and zoning requirements. Our team manages the permitting process for you to ensure compliance and a smooth approval experience.
What are Massachusetts code requirements for basement bedrooms?
Per state code, each sleeping room must have an emergency escape and rescue opening with at least 5.7 sq. ft. of net clear opening and a maximum sill height of 44 inches. We design egress solutions that meet these requirements while maintaining aesthetics, site drainage, and overall curb appeal.
Is financing available for home additions?
Yes. We offer access to flexible financing through Enhancify, with 60-second applications and over 30 competitive options including HELOCs and unsecured personal loans.
Can you lower my basement floor to increase ceiling height?
Yes. In older Boston homes, we specialize in underpinning and basement dig-out work to increase headroom and create a comfortable, code-compliant living space. This multi-phase process is carefully engineered to protect your home’s structure while delivering the height you need.
Do you offer basement waterproofing?
Absolutely. Our approach includes interior and exterior waterproofing membranes, sump pump installations, and drainage systems to keep your basement dry year-round. We also integrate high-performance insulation to control humidity, improve thermal comfort, and lower energy costs.
