Basement Waterproofing

Moisture is the number one enemy of any basement. We install interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and vapor barriers to keep your space dry.

San Diego may not get heavy rain year-round, but when it does, basements take the hit. We assess where water is entering and design a waterproofing system that actually solves the problem. Our solutions include interior French drains, sump pump installation, wall encapsulation, and dehumidification setups. Getting this right before finishing your basement saves you from expensive repairs down the road.

Basement Bathroom Addition

Adding a bathroom to your basement makes the space far more functional. We handle plumbing, tiling, fixtures, and ventilation from the ground up.

A basement without a bathroom is a basement people don't want to spend time in. We rough in new plumbing lines, install sewage ejector pumps when needed, and build out full or half bathrooms to code. From tile work to vanity installation, every detail is handled by our crew. We work with you on layout and fixture selection to make sure the finished bathroom fits the space and your budget.

Egress Window Installation

Egress windows are required for basement bedrooms and they bring in natural light. We cut, frame, and install them to meet local building codes.

If you want a legal bedroom in your basement, you need an egress window — it's a safety requirement, not optional. We handle the full process: cutting through the foundation wall, excavating the window well, installing the window, and waterproofing around it. The result is a brighter, safer space that meets San Diego building codes. We pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections so everything is done by the book.

Basement Home Theater

Basements are naturally dark and quiet, which makes them perfect for a home theater. We build out the room with soundproofing, wiring, and custom lighting.

A dedicated theater room is one of the most popular basement projects we do. We start with soundproofing the walls and ceiling so the rest of the house stays quiet. Then we run all the wiring for surround sound, projectors, and streaming equipment before closing up the walls. We finish with dimmable lighting, tiered seating platforms if the space allows, and whatever custom touches make the room feel like yours.

Basement Flooring

Basement floors need materials that can handle moisture and temperature swings. We install luxury vinyl plank, tile, epoxy, and engineered hardwood built for below-grade conditions.

Not every flooring material belongs in a basement. We help you pick the right option based on your moisture levels, how you'll use the space, and what you want it to look like. Luxury vinyl plank is our most popular choice for its durability and water resistance, but we also install porcelain tile, epoxy coatings, and engineered hardwood. We prep the subfloor properly — leveling, moisture testing, and underlayment — so your new floor stays flat and dry for years.
