You will not be handed off. Not to a salesperson, not to a project manager.

I started Desire Basements in 2017 because I kept walking into basements that had been finished by three different people who never spoke to each other. The design did not match the build, the build did not match the quote, and the homeowner was the one left holding it together.

So we do it differently. I design the space with you, in 3D, before anything is quoted. The quote is itemized, so you can see where every dollar goes. And the crew that builds it has worked with me for years, not weeks. Many of our trades have been with us for close to a decade.

You get my number. When something needs a decision, you hear it from me. When the work is done, I am the one walking you through it, and the lifetime workmanship warranty behind it carries my name.

How every project runs /Read the full process

Five steps, in the same order, every time.

1
Basement spa bathroom with marble shower and gold fixtures, built by Desire Basements

A site visit with me

I measure, look at the structure and listen to how you will actually use the space.

2
Basement theatre with star ceiling and LED accents, built by Desire Basements

A free 3D design

You see the room before you commit to it. Changes happen on screen, not on site.

3

An itemized quote

Every line priced. No allowances that turn into surprises later.

4
Basement home gym with a mirror wall and white interior

The build

Our own long-standing trades, a written schedule, and the $200 a day on-time guarantee behind it.

5
