Basement Remodeling in Portland, OR

Your basement doesn’t have to just be a dark, damp space under your home where you store camping equipment during the winter months. Instead, it can become a beautiful, functional part of your home. From cozy home theaters and media rooms to spacious family rooms to basement bars, gyms, and spas, your options are quite expansive.

Remodeling your basement can add significant value to your home and transform a previously unusable space into an inviting, livable one that you’ll love and use for years to come. Yet basements can also be problematic, especially if there are moisture issues. Even a beautifully furnished basement won’t be used if there isn’t enough natural light or if the ceilings are too low. An architect can help you design a space that’s not only usable, but one that is just as dry, comfortable, and inviting as the rest of your house. Homeowners are often surprised by how affordable it can be to transform their basement with some simple design solutions. Working with the right experts will help ensure you get the most out of your valuable basement square footage.
