Basement finishing for Lakeville homeowners.

Basement finishing is one of the most common projects we do in Lakeville, and the city's newer housing stock is a big reason why. With so many homes built from the 1990s onward, a lot of Lakeville families have an unfinished lower level that was framed but never completed, sometimes with a rough-in for a future bath already in the slab. That is a strong starting point. For those homeowners we turn open joists and poured walls into a real living space: family room, bedroom, bath, and often a wet bar or home gym.

The lay of the land matters here too. Lakeville has a lot of walkout and lookout lots, especially in developments around Lake Marion, Orchard Lake, and the rolling ground on the city's south and east sides. A walkout with big windows and a patio door finishes differently than a standard below-grade basement, and we design to take advantage of that natural light. Where a basement bedroom is part of the plan, we handle the egress window and window well to meet code, because a legal bedroom below grade needs a proper escape opening, not just drywall.

As a design-build remodeler we manage the whole thing under one roof: framing, insulation, the electrical and plumbing, and finishes, with a written price and schedule you can hold us to. We keep the upstairs clean and livable while we work, communicate clearly as the space comes together, and finish on the timeline we committed to.

  • Family rooms & theaters — Comfortable, finished living space the whole family will use.
  • Wet bars & entertaining — Built-ins, bars, and layouts made for hosting.
  • Guest suites & bathrooms — Add a bedroom and bath to expand how your home lives.
  • Framing to finish — One team handles framing, drywall, flooring, and trim.

Common Questions

Basement Finishing in Lakeville, answered.

Do you do basement finishing in Lakeville?
Yes — Lakeville is part of our core south-metro service area. We regularly take on basement finishing projects for Lakeville homeowners across everything from brand-new construction to established homes from the 1980s and 90s, and we'd be glad to set up a free consultation to talk through yours.
What does basement finishing cost in Lakeville?
It depends on size, layout changes, and the finishes you choose. Twin Cities basement finishing spans a wide range, so the fastest way to get a Lakeville-area ballpark is to book a free consultation — then we firm it up with a detailed, written estimate.
Do I need an egress window to add a bedroom in my Lakeville basement?
Yes. To be a legal, safe bedroom below grade in Lakeville, the room needs a code-compliant egress window and window well for escape and rescue. Many newer Lakeville homes were built with an egress already in place; older or standard basements often need one cut into the foundation. As your design-build team we handle the excavation, the window, and the permit as part of the project.
