Frequently Asked Questions
-
A typical basement remodeling project includes moisture mitigation, insulation, framing, drywall, flooring, ceiling work, recessed lighting, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and finish carpentry. Each basement renovation is tailored to your goals, whether that’s a guest room, home theater, playroom, or additional living space.
-
Most basement renovation projects take 6–12 weeks from permit approval to final walkthrough, depending on scope. Projects requiring structural changes, full bathroom additions, or extensive mechanical work may take longer.
-
Yes. We use design strategies such as recessed lighting, lighter wall colors, strategic flooring, and smart layout planning to maximize light. Where possible, we add egress windows or enlarge existing window wells to bring in natural light and fresh air.
-
Every project starts with a moisture and water inspection. Solutions may include perimeter drainage, improved grading, vapor barriers, proper insulation, and moisture-resistant flooring and wall systems to protect your finished basement.
-
Yes. We coordinate plumbing and drainage work to add bathrooms, wet bars, or kitchenettes, with proper ventilation, drainage, and insulation for basement conditions.
-
Many basement remodels require local permits, especially when adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or making structural changes. Platte + Pine identifies permit needs during the estimate phase and manages permit applications and inspections when required.
-
For low ceilings or dated paneling, we often recommend removing drop ceilings, installing drywall or smooth ceiling finishes, adding recessed lighting, and using lighter paint and flooring to create the appearance of more height. Insulation and thermal upgrades further improve comfort.
-
Absolutely. We design and build dedicated home theaters, entertainment centers, and home gym spaces with sound treatments, lighting control, built-in storage, and flooring suited to your needs.
-
A professionally finished basement adds usable living space and can increase resale appeal. Features like guest rooms, bathrooms, or wet bars often enhance value, though exact returns vary by scope and market.
-
We follow an organized, step-by-step process with regular updates and scheduled check-ins. You work directly with the owner, Nick, ensuring clear communication and informed decisions throughout the project.
