- BSBathsheba SitosJun 27, 20255.0Rob and his crew did a phenomenal job on our basement and also on our second floor redesign, which required taking down a wall. It was a tricky job that required an engineer and some naysayers, but Rob made it happen. On time, great work and a nice crew. We're extremely grateful. Thank you, you guys!!
- MSMargaret SalzanoJul 2, 20245.0I decided to add a bathroom and finish part of my basement so my grown children and teenage grandchildren would have their own space and visit more often. Best investment I ever made! Several of my neighbors had work done by The Finished Basement and were highly satisfied. I called to set up an appointment with Rob and within 3 days I was telling him my vision of how I would like my basement to look. I made several changes along the way and all I can honestly state is this man has patience of a Saint! Rob made sure I was completely satisfied every step of the way and if not it was done over again. At some point during the project I told Rob not to listen to me and placed my total trust in him. I truly appreciate his commitment, his subcontractors and his demand for excellent workmanship. The completed projects exceeded all of my expectations. Rob is a man of high integrity and every subcontractor he sent here was trustworthy. I highly recommend The Finished Basement for any project you may have if you are looking for excellent service and workmanship.
- KCK CJul 1, 20245.0We hired Rob to finish approx 600 sq ft of basement space in Mashpee. After getting multiple estimates we decided on Rob as he provided the most detail, best communication and a fair price. We were not disappointed. Rob delivered the project on time and as promised. Any issues that arose were handled promptly. From beginning to end it was easy to communicate with Rob and he kept us in the loop on progress and next steps. Rob transformed our basement from dark unfinished space to amazing family room, half bath, and laundry closet that we have been enjoying ever since.

- JVJulie Walsh VernamSep 20, 20235.0We hired Rob and his team to finish our basement. We are not from the area, but we had several houses in our neighborhood use him before us and they all had raving reviews. We still did our due diligence and got a few quotes before moving forward with Rob. He was courteous and professional throughout the whole process. He was easy to work with and was always a phone call or a text away if we had any questions. All of the subs he worked with were wonderful and professional as well. We love our new space thanks to Rob and his team.
Frequently Asked Questions About The Finished Basement
Do I need a permit to finish a basement?
Yes, your city or town requires a building permit. Our team handles all necessary paperwork and interactions with building inspectors. We're well-versed in Massachusetts building codes and take full responsibility for obtaining permits and scheduling inspections, ensuring a hassle-free experience for you.
Am I under any obligation?
There's absolutely no obligation on your part. We provide a complimentary estimate as part of our no-pressure approach to building client relationships. Our candid, straightforward style often resonates well with clients, fostering a comfortable rapport from the start.
How Much does it cost to finish a basement?
In Massachusetts and much of New England, costs typically range from $25 to $45 per square foot, with an average of around $30. This is significantly less than an addition, which starts at $150 per square foot. Smaller basements tend to cost slightly more per square foot, and factors like flooring, bathrooms, and custom features can influence the overall price.
Is The Finished Basement Licensed and insured?
Indeed, we are. Our company carries full licensure and insurance, including general liability and workers' compensation coverage. As a professional organization, we take all necessary precautions seriously to ensure your peace of mind.
Does The Finished Basement use pre-fabricated panels?
No, we don't use pre-fabricated panels or drop ceilings. Our approach is to create a seamless extension of your home, adhering to building codes while maintaining our commitment to excellence. We aim to make your basement a focal point of family activity, using the same materials and style as your upper floors for a cohesive look and feel throughout your home.
How long will it take to finish my basement?
Typically, we can complete your basement in about eight weeks. This means you could have an additional 1000 square feet or more of beautiful, clean, dry living space in less than two months. We create custom basements from concept to completion, which takes longer than simply installing panels but results in a higher-quality, personalized space.
Will finishing my basement be a good investment?
When done professionally, finishing your basement is indeed a good investment. In Massachusetts, finished basements are increasingly expected by home buyers. A professionally finished basement can significantly enhance a property's appeal. While the financial return varies by region, in Massachusetts, you can expect to recoup about 89% of your investment. However, the real value lies in the improved quality of life and the immediate expansion of living space at a fraction of the cost of an addition.
How can finishing my basement contribute to helping those in need in our society?
We're proud to contribute a portion of our proceeds from each basement project to The Massachusetts Alliance for Affordable Housing. This non-profit organization is dedicated to rehabilitating and creating affordable housing for veterans, their spouses, the disabled, and others in need of assistance. By choosing us, you're indirectly supporting this worthy cause.
Does The Finished Basement do only basements?
While basements are our specialty, we also offer services for kitchens, bathrooms, and additions. We aim to be your comprehensive solution for all home improvement needs. It's not uncommon for us to work on multiple projects simultaneously, such as remodeling a kitchen or bathroom while finishing your basement.
Does The Finished Basement handle waterproofing or wet basement issues?
Yes, we do. We have a team of affiliated basement waterproofing specialists ready to address any moisture concerns. We prioritize ensuring your basement is completely dry before proceeding with the finishing process. If you have any water issues, please let us know, and we'll resolve them before transforming your space.
