Basement Finishing FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most
How much does it cost to finish a basement in St. Paul?
Most full basement remodels start at $50,000. The final cost depends on the size of the space, whether you’re adding a bathroom, and how much electrical work is needed. We’ll walk your space and give you an accurate quote, not a rough guess over the phone.
Do I need a permit to finish a basement in St. Paul?
Almost always, yes. Framing, electrical, and plumbing work all require permits, and a bedroom also requires an egress window. We pull the permits and manage the inspections so you don’t have to deal with the city yourself.
Do I need an egress window for a basement bedroom in Minnesota?
Yes, code requires an egress window for a bedroom. If your basement doesn’t have one, we can add one.
How long does it take to finish a basement?
A full basement typically takes eight to twelve weeks, depending on size and whether it includes a bathroom or egress window. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Does finishing a basement add value to my home?
Generally, yes, especially when you add a bedroom or bathroom, since buyers and appraisers count that square footage. The work does need to be done to code, because an unpermitted basement can hurt your resale value.
