Basement Remodeling Details That Matter Before Construction
Closer to Mirielle, planning near Raupp Museum can depend on slab condition, ductwork, plumbing routes, and how the space connects upstairs.
The project plan should clarify whether the goal is a refresh, a functional upgrade, or a more complete rework of the space.
Our role is to make the project buildable before it becomes disruptive, which means checking assumptions early and keeping the scope tied to real conditions.

Featured Basement Improvement
Egress Window Upgrade for a More Usable Basement
Project Summary
A small basement window was upgraded into a larger egress-style installation, creating a safer, brighter, and more practical lower-level space.
Challenges
The existing opening was undersized at roughly 12" x 36", and the project required expanding it to 24" x 48" by cutting into the foundation. In addition, the original drainage setup around the window well was unusable and needed to be corrected to reduce the risk of water intrusion.
Solutions
The new opening was carefully cut, reinforced, and prepared for the larger window installation. A dedicated drainage line was then added and tied into the drain tile system to improve water control around the window well.
Results
The finished window upgrade improved basement safety, increased natural light, and added long-term drainage performance. The space now feels more comfortable and better positioned for everyday use or future entertaining.
