Honey-Doers
A finished basement isn't just more space — it's space that works for you. Whether it's family, function, or future value driving your project, we help bring your vision to life.
Designed around your goals and how you want to use the space.
Egress, insulation, HVAC, and finish work handled start to finish.
No surprises — just progress you can count on.
A finished basement can be whatever you need it to be — we help you get there.
Home theaters, wet bars, open living rooms, and soundproofed walls for hosting and relaxing.
Bedrooms, full bathrooms, private entrances, and egress windows — comfort and privacy for visitors.
A quiet, dedicated workspace with proper lighting, outlets, and internet infrastructure.
Durable playrooms, flex spaces, built-in storage, and chalkboard walls that grow with your family.
Full basement conversions, legal bedroom additions, and high-ROI upgrades built to impress buyers.
Most of what makes a finished basement last happens before the drywall: moisture checks, egress, insulation rated for below-grade walls, and mechanical rough-ins that have to pass inspection first. The steps below follow that order.
An in-home or virtual walkthrough of the space as it is today. We measure clear ceiling height, look for signs of moisture, check access for materials, and give you a detailed estimate for the use you have in mind.

LVP, carpet, or tile; drywall or drop ceiling; paint, trim, lighting, and any cabinetry or built-ins. Flooring choice waits on a slab moisture test.

"Honey-Doers finished our basement, and we are so pleased with the result. Working with Honey-Doers was an overall positive experience mostly in part of the communication provided. We are so delighted with the craftsmanship and will definitely use Honey-Doers again!"

"This was my second project with Honeydoers and both experiences were top notch. My master bath remodel was 2 years ago and I still admire their work when I step into my spa-like teak floor shower and master bath. They now have transformed my unfinished basement laundry into a beautiful multipurpose laundry and a craft room with lots of storage. Rick helped me design the space within my budget and offered knowledgeable advice and ideas. The new room is as functional as it is beautiful. I cannot say enough nice things for each of the professionals who worked on the project. They were resourceful problem solvers, flexible to my needs and dependable throughout the project. They make you part of the project and each one takes pride in their work. I have recommended Honeydoers to several friends with full confidence in their exceptional work. A special “Thank You” to Rick, Shelley, Joe, Lisa, Gabe and Larry.ServicesFurniture assembly, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Install flooring, Plumbing fixture installation, Paint indoors, Exterior painting"

"The entire team was top notch from the start. From the scoping of work all the way through to ensuring everything went as promised. They kep their word on timing and cost even accelerating it from what we originally excpected. High degree of hand holding and communication with my wife and I. Best experience with home improvement of any sort yet! In fact we hired them to do another project (we started with a bathroom remodel and then they redid our large porch area). They went above and beyond and you won't be disappointed picking Honey Doers!"
