Your basement may be the biggest unused space in your home. A finished basement can become a family room, home office, guest room, kids’ playroom, or anything else you need. Since 2000, Maryland Home Improvement Company has helped homeowners in Catonsville, Baltimore County and Howard County turn bare basements into rooms they use every day. We’re a licensed Maryland home improvement contractor, MHIC #77900.
What Goes Into Finishing a Basement
- Framing walls and building rooms
- Electrical: outlets, lighting, recessed lights and circuits
- Drywall, ceilings and painting
- Flooring suited to below-grade spaces
- Doors, trim and molding
- Egress windows, where needed for a bedroom or for safety
- Built-ins, shelving and storage
Planning the Space
We start by talking about how you want to use the room, then plan the layout around it. Where should the TV go? Do you need a quiet office corner? Will guests sleep down here? Answering these questions early shapes everything from outlet placement to lighting.
Electrical Done Right
Basements usually need a lot of new wiring. Our owner is a Maryland Master Electrician (#12441), so lighting, outlets and any panel work are handled in-house rather than handed off. We’ve also installed egress windows for basements in the Ellicott City area. You can see examples on our Portfolio page.
