A home theater. An in-law suite with its own bath. The office, the gym, the game room the kids disappear into. Your basement already has the square footage — we turn it into finished living space with one crew, start to finish.
Most Marietta basements are concrete, a water heater and boxes — the cheapest square footage you will ever add to the house, and the most ignored.
We start with moisture and egress, then frame, insulate, wire and plumb it like the rest of the home: a full bath, a bedroom with a real window, a wet bar, LVP floors that laugh at spills, recessed lighting everywhere, and the built-ins and trim that make it feel like it was always part of the house.
"It doesn't feel like a basement anymore." — the sentence we hear on every walkthrough.
Marietta basements come in two flavors: the older homes near the Square and along Whitlock and Powder Springs Road with low ceilings and partial basements that take creativity, and the two-stories off Johnson Ferry, Roswell Road and Sandy Plains with full daylight basements that finish beautifully. We have done both kinds for thirty years and know what each needs — starting with moisture and headroom.
A typical Marietta project: an in-law or teen suite with its own bath and entrance, a family room with a fireplace wall and built-ins, a gym with rubber flooring, and a laundry or utility room properly walled off. Permits pulled by us, inspected through Cobb County.
Properly framed walls, insulation that keeps it warm in January, and drywall finished so smooth you forget there is concrete behind it.
Showers, tile, vanities and the plumbing to get there — a downstairs bath that feels like an upstairs bath.
Code-compliant egress windows, closets, a private entrance where possible — a real bedroom that counts at resale.
Dark walls, layered lighting, wiring for the screen and sound, a bar or snack station within arm's reach.
Luxury vinyl plank, carpet or tile; drywall or drop ceilings; recessed lighting on dimmers throughout.
Kitchenettes, built-in desks and shelving, rubber-floored gyms — whatever your family actually needs down there.
We check moisture, headroom and egress, then sketch a layout around how you'll use the space.
Layout, finishes and a written price. You know the number before we touch anything.

A typical basement finish runs six to ten weeks. Adding a bathroom or moving plumbing adds time, and we tell you up front.
Yes — Cobb County requires permits for framing, electrical and plumbing, and bedrooms need code-compliant egress. We pull the permits and handle every bit of the paperwork.
It depends on the square footage, whether we add a bathroom, and the finish level. After the free in-home consultation you get a written estimate. No pressure, no surprises.
Absolutely. Many families finish a media room and bath first and leave storage unfinished. We plan it so the second phase is easy.
