How Does Basement Finishing Work in Ellettsville, IN?

We start by assessing your basement's current condition—checking for water intrusion, measuring ceiling height, and identifying mechanical systems that need to remain accessible. Then we work with you to sketch a floor plan that fits your goals, whether that's an open recreation area or multiple defined rooms with closets and a bathroom.

Construction begins with framing partition walls, running electrical and HVAC rough-ins, and installing insulation between studs and against exterior foundation walls. Farris Builders and Renovators then hangs and finishes drywall, lays your chosen flooring—luxury vinyl plank, engineered wood, or carpet—and installs recessed lighting or track fixtures to brighten spaces that lack natural light.

Final details include trim work, paint, and any built-in shelving or cabinetry you've requested, leaving you with a finished basement that feels like an intentional part of your home rather than an afterthought.
