Our Legal Basement Renovation Process
1. Consultation & On-Site Evaluation
We begin with a detailed consultation to learn your goals, timeline, and budget. Then our team inspects the basement — checking structure, moisture, ceiling clearance, drainage and existing utilities — to determine feasibility and next steps.
