The Most Experienced Basement Contractor in DC

We’ve been transforming DC basements into actual living spaces for over 20 years. Those row homes in Capitol Hill, Georgetown, and Columbia Heights? They’re sitting on a goldmine, and most people are leaving money on the table.

Here’s the thing: DC real estate is completely insane. Want more space? You’re looking at either dropping another couple hundred grand or giving up on your neighborhood and everything that matters, where you walk to dinner, your commute, all of it. But that basement under your feet? That’s potentially hundreds of thousands in value just sitting there doing nothing.

We’ve finished over 100 basements in D.C., from Chevy Chase to Capitol Hill, turning unused lower levels into rental units that bring in $2,000–3,000 a month, home offices with actual natural light, guest suites people actually want to stay in, or separate condo units you can sell off. That’s why everyone’s staying put and going down instead of moving out.

Maybe you’ve got one of those dark lower levels in Kalorama or Tenleytown, an old English basement in Foxhall, or even a crawl space in Palisades. Whatever you’re working with, basement remodeling is hands-down the smartest move you can make right now.

And yeah, we handle all the complex stuff DC basements need, the low ceiling issues, slab lowering when you need legal height, egress windows, separate entrances for rentals, all of it. We deal with the DC permits and historic district rules. Most projects take 8–12 weeks from permits through final inspection.

No subcontractors who ghost you, no disappearing acts — we’re local, we’re licensed in DC, we show up. Whether you want a rental unit covering your mortgage, a basement condo to sell separately, a home office that doesn’t feel like a dungeon, or just space that actually adds value to your home...

    Basement Transformations

    Before image 4 After image 4
    Before image 1 After image 1

    Before the remodel, the basement was unfinished and mid-construction, with exposed framing, insulation, and rough mechanicals visible. Open wall cavities and the framed opening for the future fireplace show the space early in its transformation — defined in size, but lacking comfort, flow, and livability.

    After the transformation, the basement became a fully finished, sophisticated living space. Custom wall paneling, warm wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a coffered ceiling create a clean, modern atmosphere, while a sleek fireplace anchors the room as a welcoming place to relax or entertain.

    Before the remodel, this basement was already finished — but bland. Neutral finishes, basic lighting, and an open layout made the space usable, yet uninspiring. It lacked character, purpose, and any real reason to spend time there. 

    After the transformation, the basement became a custom wine cellar and home theater designed for entertaining. Stone accent walls, built-in wine storage, and layered lighting turned a generic space into a refined destination that feels intentional and elevated.

    What Basement Services Do We Provide in DC (Beyond Basement Finishing)

    Basement ADUs - Turn your basement into a legal rental apartment with a separate entrance, kitchen, and bathroom.

    Basement Condo Conversions - We convert your basement into a separately deeded condo unit that you can sell on its own. You're basically creating another property, which adds serious value in this market.

    Crawl Space Conversions - Got a crawl space? We excavate and convert it into a full basement. You're creating an entirely usable floor that didn't exist before.

    Basement Lowering - Do you have a 6-foot basement ceiling or a 5-foot-tall cellar, but need 7+ feet of headroom? We’re experienced at slab-lowering, dig-outs, and underpinning to make basements legal and livable.

    Historic District Work – Live in Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and the other regulated areas? We know the Historic Preservation Review Board and how to get projects approved.
