Garage & Basement Conversions

Transform underused space into something truly livable

Garage and basement conversions across the Tri-Cities. Insulation, framing, layout, electrical, plumbing and finish work, so the room ends up feeling like part of the house.

A two-bay attached garage with timber doors, before conversion

You already own the square footage. It's already under roof and inside the foundation. The job is making it feel like part of the house rather than a garage somebody put carpet in.

Most of that work is the part you'll never see. Moisture control and insulation, ceiling height sorted before framing starts, egress and daylight that satisfy code, heat that keeps up in February. We do the framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall and finishes ourselves, so nothing sits half done while a sub finishes someone else's job.

    We walk the property together, talk through how you want to use the space, and narrow down a plan.

  3. 03

    Quote

    A written quote covering the plan you chose, the finish package, and the site work your property needs.

  4. 04

    Permit

    We prepare and submit the permit set and manage the back-and-forth with the jurisdiction.
