Family rooms, home offices, in-law suites, and ADUs — finished basements that add real, livable space.
Massachusetts homes often have large, unfinished basements that represent hundreds of square feet of untapped living potential. Finishing your basement correctly — starting with waterproofing, egress, and structural assessment — adds livable space that functions well and lasts.
Kenmore Construction Group finishes basements the right way: moisture management first, then framing, MEP systems, and finishes. Every basement project we take on is fully permitted and meets current Massachusetts building code.
Start a ConversationEntertainment center, recessed lighting, luxury vinyl plank flooring, built-in storage, wet bar — a basement family room that's genuinely comfortable and well-designed.
Dedicated workspace with proper lighting, acoustics, CAT6, and separate HVAC zone. A home office in the basement means separation from household noise.
Full kitchen, bath, sleeping area, and a separate entrance — a legal, permitted basement ADU under Massachusetts law. Rental income or multi-gen housing.
Rubber flooring, mirrored walls, proper ventilation, and plumbing for sauna or steam room. A home gym built for real use.
Acoustic panels, tiered seating, AV integration, blackout shades, proper ventilation — a media room that actually delivers on the movie theater experience.
Egress window installation, proper ceiling height, closet, smoke/CO detection, and ventilation — a code-compliant sleeping room in your basement.
We assess moisture, drainage, and structural conditions. If waterproofing work is needed, we address it before any finishing begins.
Floor plan development, egress window locations, partition wall layout, HVAC strategy, and finish selections — all designed for your specific basement.
Basement finishing projects in Massachusetts require building permits, especially when adding sleeping rooms, bathrooms, or ADU units. We manage all applications.
Framing, insulation, plumbing rough-in, electrical rough-in, HVAC ductwork — all inspected before walls close.
Drywall, flooring, trim, fixtures, and final punch list. You walk the space with your PM and sign off before we close out the project.
"Kenmore finished our basement into a proper in-law suite for my parents — full kitchen, accessible bathroom, bedroom, and a private entrance from the side yard. The quality is remarkable and the project was managed exactly as promised."
"We wanted a home theater and a dedicated gym space. Kenmore designed the layout perfectly and delivered both — the acoustic treatment in the theater is excellent and the gym floor is exactly what I needed. Great project management throughout."
