Basement Construction in Kensington: What is Involved?
The following represents the type of things typically involved in basement construction in Kensington:
- The initial consultation where we get to know you and what you have in mind for the basement.
- Initial designs developed in response to your input.
- Once you have approved a design we apply for permits and address regulatory issues.
- We begin preparing the basement by addressing any moisture issues. A crucial step.
- Advanced site prep, i.e. removing any existing finishes that will not work with the new design.
- Next, we address any structural concerns.
- At this point, we conduct a thorough cleaning in preparation for the build-out to begin.
- Framing the walls is next.
- Followed by the installation of plumbing and electrical systems.
- The new walls are properly insulated.
- Followed by installation of drywall and trim.
- Next, the new floor is installed, followed by lighting fixtures.
- Any painting and/or staining of surfaces is completed.
Note: The addition of a fireplace or kitchen may change the order of things slightly. But not to any great degree.
