Partial Basement Renovations - Build at Your Own Pace

At Square Win Basements, we understand that not every homeowner needs a fully finished basement right away. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and flexible solution, a partial basement renovation allows you to complete the essential structural work while leaving the final finishes for later. This option is ideal for hands-on homeowners who want to save money and add their own personal touches to the development.

Our team ensures that the fundamental work, including framing, insulation, electrical, and plumbing, is completed with integrity so your basement is built to last. With this phased approach, you have the freedom to move forward at your own pace, knowing that the critical foundation is in place and ready for future upgrades.

With a partial basement development, you get the best of both worlds—a professionally completed foundation with the freedom to finish the space, at your own pace.

Allow us handle the design and essential work so you can rest assured that the foundation of your basement renovation is full of integrity and high-quality work.

Rough-In & Structural Work

The foundation of a successful basement renovation starts with expert design, basement rough-in services and framing. This phase ensures that all structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC elements are properly installed, creating a solid framework for your finished basement.

Phase 1 includes:

  • Professional design and layout.
  • All structural, framing and concrete work to accommodate basement design.
  • High-quality electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-in’s completed to code by certified professionals.
  • All inspections done and approved by City Officials before proceeding.

Why Phase 1 Matters:

Proper execution at this stage is critical to the success of a basement renovation. With careful planning and expert craftsmanship, we lay the groundwork for a smooth, efficient remodeling process.

Walls & Surface Preparation

After completing the rough-in stage, we shift our focus to wall finishing and surface preparation. This phase includes insulation and drywall installation, followed by mudding, taping, and priming to create smooth, professional-grade walls.

Phase 2 includes:

  • Thermal and sound reducing insulation solutions.
  • Electrical outlets, switches and lights installed to ensure proper lighting and wall finish quality.
  • Seamless, professional-grade drywall surfaces.
  • Ceiling texture to match your upstairs style.
  • Drywall is primed.

Additional options:

  • Doors, window boxes, casing, and custom MDF shelving installed by our expert finishing carpenters. 
  • Doors, shelves and trim are sprayed, and one coat of paint applied is to walls.

Why Phase 2 Matters:

The work completed in this phase directly impacts the quality and longevity of your basement. High-quality drywall finishing, mudding, and insulation ensure that your walls are smooth, durable, and energy-efficient. The completion of this phase concludes the partial basement renovation service.
