Planning your basement

Finishing a basement in a Minnesota home.

A finished basement is one of the most affordable ways to add living space. In Minnesota, the key is building it to stay dry and comfortable year-round.

01

Start with moisture control

Before framing goes up, we check for signs of moisture, leaks or past water damage. Addressing these first, with proper insulation and vapor control, protects your investment and helps prevent mold behind the new walls.

02

Plan the layout

Think about how you'll use the space: a family room, guest bedroom, bathroom, home office or bar. Bedrooms need code-compliant egress windows, and bathrooms need plumbing access, so we plan these early.

03

Permits and code

Basement finishing in Minneapolis and surrounding cities typically requires a permit, especially when adding bedrooms, electrical or plumbing. We handle permits and inspections for you.

04

Finishes for lower levels

Flooring, ceilings and wall materials should be chosen with basements in mind. We'll recommend options that handle Minnesota's humidity swings and still look great.

What our homeowners say.

Our testimonials
“I could not be more happy with Capital City from start to finish. They did a HUGE renovation to my house. I had 5 different contractors bid out the job. I immediately knew when I met Chad he was going to be who I would be going with.”
Erica Ohalloran
“The project included doing a makeover of our front porch, installation of a new front door and replacement of our window shutters. The crew did excellent work. We plan on using them on our next project and will recommend them to anyone.”
Tom and Kim Cambell
“The work was completed before the time he thought it would be done and he did a fantastic job. I would recommend Capital City (and Chad) to any and all who would like some work done.”
