Why Finish Your Basement?
An unfinished basement is often one of the most underutilized parts of a home. It’s full of potential—but without proper finishing, it stays cold, dark, and uninviting. Finishing your basement is one of the smartest ways to expand your home’s livable space without the cost of an addition.
Basement remodeling gives you the opportunity to add:
- Home Offices
- Playrooms or Family Rooms
- Guest Suites or Rental Units
- Workout or Fitness Areas
- Hobby or Craft Rooms
- Laundry and Storage Upgrades
- Game Rooms or Home Theaters
Whatever your lifestyle or goals, we design basement solutions that are functional, safe, and code-compliant.

Our Full-Service Basement Remodeling Process
At Zollhaus Companies, Inc., we guide you from start to finish. Whether you’re starting with bare concrete walls or you need to rework an older finished basement, we take care of every detail—layout planning, permits, material sourcing, and construction.
Our process includes
- Initial consultation to assess space, ceiling height, moisture levels, and layout potential.
- Design phase where we draft a plan for rooms, storage, lighting, and finishes.
- Framing, insulation, and drywall to create clean, sealed walls.
- Electrical and plumbing upgrades for bathrooms, wet bars, or laundry areas.
- Flooring and ceiling installation, whether you want vinyl planks, carpet, or drop ceilings.
- Painting, trim, and finish carpentry for a polished final product.
- Final walkthrough to ensure every detail is done right.
We manage the entire job—so you don’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors.
