More Space, More Value, More Living

Your basement doesn’t have to be that forgotten space where you store holiday decorations and old furniture. When done right, basement finishing transforms dead square footage into your family’s favorite room.

Picture walking downstairs to a warm, dry, comfortable space where your kids actually want to spend time. Maybe it’s the home theater you’ve been talking about, or that office where you can finally close the door and focus. Could be the guest suite that makes hosting family actually enjoyable instead of stressful.

The best part? You’re not just gaining living space. You’re adding real value to your home while solving the storage and functionality problems that have been bugging you for years. A finished basement isn’t just renovation – it’s reclaiming part of your house that you’re already paying for.

Licensed Basement Contractors Pham

We Do This Right The First Time

Sea Renovation brings licensed, bonded, and insured basement remodeling to Pham and the greater Seattle area. We started in 2023 with a simple approach: quality work, solid warranties, and actually being reliable when homeowners need us.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Basement renovation in the Pacific Northwest requires understanding moisture control, proper insulation, and local building codes. Cutting corners here costs you more later.

Military and first responders get special pricing because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of our community. When we finish your basement, we stand behind the work with warranties that mean something.

Basement Finishing Process Pham

Here's How We Transform Your Basement

First, we assess what you’re working with. Every basement is different, and Pacific Northwest homes have specific challenges we need to address upfront. We check for moisture issues, evaluate your electrical and plumbing, and measure everything twice.

Next comes planning and permits. We handle the paperwork with the city and create a timeline that actually makes sense for your life. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go” approach.

Then we get to work. Framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring – each step builds on the last. We keep the work area contained so the rest of your house stays livable, and we clean up daily because nobody wants construction dust tracked through their home.

Final walkthrough happens when everything’s complete and you’re happy with the result. That’s when warranties kick in and you get to enjoy the extra living space you’ve been wanting.

What Your Basement Renovation Includes

Basement finishing means different things to different families, but certain elements are non-negotiable in our climate. Proper moisture control comes first – vapor barriers, appropriate insulation, and ventilation that prevent the humidity problems that destroy finished basements.

Electrical work gets you the outlets and lighting you actually need, not the bare minimum. We add circuits if your current panel can handle it, or recommend upgrades if it can’t. Same with plumbing – if you want a bathroom or wet bar down there, we rough it in properly.

Flooring options depend on your space and budget. Luxury vinyl plank handles moisture better than hardwood. Carpet feels warmer but needs proper subfloor preparation. We walk through the pros and cons based on how you plan to use the space.

The finishing touches – paint, trim, built-ins – turn your basement from “functional” to “somewhere you want to spend time.” We coordinate everything so you’re not juggling multiple contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something doesn’t line up right.

How long does basement remodeling take in Pham?

Most basement renovations take 4-8 weeks depending on size and complexity. Simple finishing jobs with basic electrical and no plumbing move faster. Full buildouts with bathrooms, wet bars, or major electrical upgrades take longer. Weather doesn’t slow us down much since we’re working indoors, but permit approval times vary by season. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. The biggest delays usually come from change orders – when homeowners see the space taking shape and want to add features we didn’t originally plan for.
Luxury vinyl plank is our most popular choice because it handles moisture, looks great, and feels warmer underfoot than tile. Engineered hardwood can work if your basement stays consistently dry, but it’s riskier in our climate. Carpet needs proper vapor barriers and subfloor preparation – when done right it’s comfortable, but when done wrong it becomes a mold problem. Polished concrete is durable and modern looking, but cold without radiant heating. We evaluate your specific basement’s moisture situation and recommend flooring that makes sense for your space and budget.
Moisture control starts before we frame anything. We check for existing water intrusion, test humidity levels, and make sure your drainage around the foundation is working properly. Vapor barriers go behind insulation, not in front of it. We use closed-cell foam insulation in problem areas and ensure proper ventilation throughout the space. Dehumidification systems help in our climate, especially if your basement doesn’t get much natural airflow. The key is addressing moisture at the source, not just covering it up with finishes and hoping for the best.
Yes, most basement renovations require permits, especially if you’re adding electrical, plumbing, or changing the structural layout. Even basic finishing work often needs permits because you’re creating habitable space. We handle the permit process for you – pulling permits, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything meets current building codes. Skipping permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home and can make insurance claims more complicated. Better to do it right from the start than deal with code violations later.
Basic basement finishing runs $25-40 per square foot for simple spaces with minimal electrical and plumbing work. Full renovations with bathrooms, wet bars, and custom features range $50-80 per square foot or more. Your actual cost depends on size, finishes, how much electrical and plumbing work is needed, and whether we’re working with existing framing or starting from scratch. We provide detailed estimates after seeing your space because every basement is different. Military and first responders get special pricing – call us for details.
Adding a basement bathroom is possible but depends on your existing plumbing setup and local codes. If your main sewer line runs below your basement floor, we can typically tie in with standard plumbing. If the basement is below the sewer line, you might need an ejector pump system, which adds cost but works well. We also need proper ventilation and sometimes additional electrical for exhaust fans and GFCI outlets. The permitting process is more involved with plumbing additions, but we handle all of that. A basement bathroom adds significant value and functionality, especially if you’re creating guest space or a home office down there.
