Code-compliant basement bedrooms with proper egress

A basement bedroom is more than four walls and a door. To meet code, the room needs an egress window of the right size, smoke and CO detection, framing, electrical, and finishes that work together. We plan all of that and handle the build.

Whether you are adding a bedroom for kids, a guest room, or part of an in-law suite, the goal is a safe, comfortable, finished bedroom that can legally be used as one.
