A Clear, Step-by-Step Basement Renovation Process
01
Initial Planning & Estimate
The process begins with a detailed floor plan to define layout and scope, without images or finish selections at this stage. A rough verbal estimate is discussed, followed by a more detailed written proposal outlining the basement renovation.
02
Design Confirmation & Selections
After the agreement is in place, a design manager verifies measurements and confirms project details. Flooring, wall finishes, lighting, fixtures, and other selections are reviewed and finalized.
03
Project Coordination & Scheduling
Once selections are approved, the project is coordinated with skilled professionals. Materials are ordered, timelines are scheduled, and preparations are made to begin construction.
04
Construction & Completion
The renovation is completed with attention to detail, respect for the home, and consistent communication throughout the process. Every basement renovation includes a one-year labor warranty, with the option to upgrade to a two-year labor warranty.

Brian and his team did a great job with our bathroom renovation. We had to get creative with our small space and they were able to make it work in a short amount of time. Would definitely recommend!
Mitten made basements completed a kitchen, dinning room and hard wood remodel for me. Brian’s team was worderful to work with. Everyday Brian was communicating with me. We had trouble with the cabinets and Brian did everything to rectify the problem. I can’t say enough of how proud I am to show off the work he and his team completed .
Our Deck needed repair and updating, contacted Mitten Made Basements. They removed the old deck and put in brand new deck all in 3 days. Mitten Made Basements is great too work with even when we added extra features at last minute. We asked them to work on our bathroom, and did another great job!
After getting several quotes on completely finishing our basement, Brian was very competitive in winning our business. He succeeded, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. He set proper expectations and timelines, and all the different trade teams and all employees that had a part of the construction were extremely polite and hard working. Our project manager, Steve was here, working hard almost every day and sometimes the only person here getting the work done. At the end, we are just so incredibly happy with how our basement turned out, and we would highly recommend Mitten Made!
I’ve had many different contractors in my home over the years and this was by far my best experience! Mitten Made basements created a beautiful bathroom addition onto my home. I immediately felt Comfortable with Brian,, the owner, upon meeting him and discussing the job. This is a small company, including Tom and Liam whose work is superb! Subcontractors, Marcus and Tom are also amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome And completely trusted them in my home. Special thank you to Mary, for helping me create this masterpiece.
Amazing work! We have had two large home projects completed by Brian and his crew. We highly recommend Mitten Made Basements LLC.
