Frequently asked questions

Do I need egress windows?
Only if you're creating a bedroom. Entertainment rooms, home offices, and exercise spaces are fine with existing windows.
What if my basement takes water?
Fix the water problem first. Sump pump, exterior grading, waterproofing. Finishing a basement that still takes water is a waste of money.
