Key Elements of Your Transformed Basement

Whether you're looking for a simple basement conversion or a complex custom basement multi-room layout, Hurqleys Handyman Service expertly handles all components to ensure a successful outcome.


  • Custom Layouts & Zoning: We specialize in creating tailored basement development layouts that maximize space and functionality. This might include creating distinct zones for a home theater basement, a dedicated basement home office, a home gym, or additional bedrooms. Our design ensures optimal flow and intelligent use of every square foot, transforming unused space into highly valuable living areas.
  • Moisture Control & Insulation: Basements require specific attention to moisture. We implement effective waterproof basement solutions, including proper drainage and vapor barriers, to ensure a dry and healthy environment. Our basement insulation strategies enhance energy efficiency and maintain consistent temperatures, making your basement comfortable year-round.
  • Flooring & Finishes: Choosing the right basement flooring options is crucial. We install durable and moisture-resistant materials like luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, engineered wood, or carpet, suited for basement environments. From paint colors to trim work and door selections, our finishing experts ensure a cohesive and appealing aesthetic throughout the newly finished space.
  • Egress Windows & Lighting: For basements intended for living spaces, egress windows are vital for safety and natural light. We professionally install these to meet code requirements and brighten your lower level. We design and install comprehensive lighting schemes, combining recessed lighting, task lighting, and ambient fixtures to create a well-lit and inviting atmosphere.
  • Specialty Features: Elevate your basement with custom features like built-in shelving, a wet bar, a fireplace, or a new bathroom. Our expertise ensures these additions are seamlessly integrated, adding convenience and luxury.
