We are a local Minneapolis operation, and Saint Anthony sits about 4 miles from Minneapolis. That matters more than it sounds. National basement-finishing networks standardize everything through a franchise system and route your call to whoever is on duty. We are not that. When you talk to us, you talk to people who know this area's basements, codes, and moisture conditions.

Homes around here are not new. Across Hennepin County, the typical home was built around 1973, per U.S. Census Bureau ACS estimates. Basements from that era often have low ceilings in spots, old mechanicals, and moisture questions that need honest answers before you cover anything with drywall. We tell you what we see and what it means for your project. If something needs fixing before finishing makes sense, you hear it from us up front.

Our approach is simple: clear information first, then a straightforward path to a free estimate. We explain layout options, flooring choices, and what the permit process looks like before any work begins. You decide from there.

Saint Anthony is part of the greater Hennepin County area, home to about 1,269,496 residents, per U.S. Census Bureau ACS estimates, and we work throughout it and beyond.

Good question, and one we take seriously. Many basements in this area belong to homes built decades ago, and moisture needs to be checked before finishing starts. We look at your foundation, grading, and any signs of water before recommending a plan. If waterproofing work is needed first, we tell you rather than burying the problem behind drywall.

Finishing a basement typically involves permits, and skipping them can cause headaches when you sell. We give you straight answers on layout, flooring, and permits before any work begins, so you know what the process looks like for your project. You will not be left guessing about paperwork.

Yes. Basement bathrooms are one of the most common requests we get, and we handle bath remodeling for basements as part of finishing and renovation projects. Plumbing below grade takes planning, so it is best to decide on a bathroom during the layout stage, not after framing starts.
