Expert Basement Contractors in St. Louis

Sometimes the most affordable way to add another story is not to go up, but head down. Homeowners today are utilizing their home’s downstairs level like never before. Investing in a finished basement is a great way to add a substantial amount of livable square footage without the heavy construction of building an addition.

Done right, your lower level can become one of the most popular rooms in the house. Little or no natural light makes lower levels ideal candidates for a basement family room, home theater, or pub-style man cave.

The creative team at J.T. McDermott Remodeling Contractors has designed and remodeled some of the most stylish basements in the St. Louis Metro area. Spaces once entirely devoted to storage have been transformed into beautiful guest bedrooms, custom Mother-in-law suites, and second kitchens.

Our Process as Your Basement Contractor

The process for remodeling your basement is much like remodeling any other room, with a few additional steps. As an experienced basement contractor, we prioritize safety and longevity. Before the planning stage, we check for basement moisture solutions to ensure the space is dry and healthy.

We also inspect the foundation for cracks and ensure the ground outside is graded correctly. If any issues are found, we make sure that damage is repaired before work begins. We handle all local requirements for permits, particularly for plumbing and electrical work, giving you peace of mind that your new space is built to code.
