Turn the basement
into real square footage.
We answer the phone, show up when we said, and finish what we start. Apparently that's a differentiator now.
A basement done
the right way.
A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you'll ever add, if it's done right. Done wrong, it's a damp room nobody uses. The difference is what happens before the drywall.
Dry first, finished second.
We deal with moisture and any water issues before a stud goes up. Finishing over a damp basement just hides the problem until it ruins your new floor, we don't do that.
Built to code, permitted.
Egress windows, ceiling height, smoke and CO, proper electrical, a finished basement has real requirements. We pull the permits and pass inspection so it counts as living space, not a liability at resale.
One number, one team.
Framing, insulation, electrical, HVAC runs, a bathroom or wet bar if you want one, flooring and trim, managed and sequenced by M22 on one written scope.

The questions
everybody actually asks.
-
01
“My basement gets a little damp, can it still be finished?”
Maybe, but not until the moisture is handled. We find the source and fix it first. Finishing over a wet basement just buries the problem behind new drywall, and you pay for it twice.
-
02
“Can I add a bathroom or bedroom down there?”
Usually yes. A basement bath needs proper drainage (sometimes a pump), and a legal bedroom needs an egress window. Both are common, we'll tell you what your foundation and layout allow.
-
03
“Do I really need permits to finish a basement?”
Yes, and you want them. Permitted, inspected square footage adds value and won't blow up a future home sale. Unpermitted finished space can cost you at closing.
-
04
“How do I know the price won't balloon?”
A written scope before work starts. The usual basement surprises are moisture, low ductwork, and panel capacity. We flag those at the estimate, and anything truly hidden you hear about before we proceed.
-
05
“Who's doing the work?”
Trades we've worked with for years, vetted and supervised by M22 from start to finish.
The people who'll
be in your home.
You're not handing your house to whoever was free that week. You meet the M22 team, and the same vetted faces run your project from the first walkthrough to the last.
