Basement bedroom and home office build-out
An unfinished bungalow basement turned into a legal guest bedroom with an egress window and a home office, with the rest of the basement left open for laundry and storage.
What the homeowners wanted
A place for visiting family to sleep that would count as a bedroom, and a quiet office that was not the dining table.
What we did
- Moisture check, crack sealed and a sump pit cover before any framing
- Egress window cut, well and ladder installed, inspected
- Framed two rooms around the duct trunk and the post, with soffits that hide pipes but keep access panels
- Rigid foam and batt insulation, electrical to code with dedicated circuits and smoke and CO detectors
- Drywall, smooth finish, recessed LED lights on dimmers, two interior doors and closets
- Waterproof LVP flooring, baseboard and paint in light gray and white
The result
Two finished rooms with real daylight, legal to call a bedroom, and a basement that feels like part of the house. The homeowners later asked us back for a half bath at the existing rough-in.

A 5-by-8 hall bath that nobody used the tub in. We took it to the studs and rebuilt it around a walk-in shower, a floating vanity and the storage the room never had.
