What's included
Everything a finished basement needs, done in order.
A good basement starts with what's behind the walls. We take care of moisture, framing, and systems first, then the finishes.
01
Moisture first
Signs of moisture are checked and addressed before any walls go up, so the finished space stays dry.
02
Framing & insulation
New walls, insulation, and soffits that work around beams, ducts, and pipes.
03
Electrical & lighting
New circuits, outlets, recessed lighting, and wiring for TVs, offices, and gyms.
04
Plumbing
Bathrooms, wet bars, and laundry, with plumbing run and inspected under our license.

For bedrooms, egress windows where code requires them, with permits coordinated.

FAQ
Basement questions.
Anything else, ask us at your consultation.
01Do I need a permit to finish my basement?
Finishing a basement usually requires permits, especially for framing, electrical, and plumbing. We coordinate permits as part of the project, before construction begins.
02What if my basement has moisture?
Moisture is the first thing we look at. Any signs of water are checked and addressed before walls and flooring go in, so the finished space stays dry.
03Can you add a bedroom in the basement?
Often, yes. A basement bedroom needs an egress window or door and has to meet other code requirements, and we plan for those from the start.
04Can you add a bathroom or wet bar downstairs?
Yes. Bathrooms, wet bars, and laundry rooms are common basement additions. We plan the plumbing during design so everything drains and vents properly.
05Are you licensed, insured, and bonded?
Yes. Julius Remodeling Group is a licensed, insured, and bonded Washington general contractor (License JULIURG780NJ). Verify it with Washington L&I.
