Most homeowners come to us after a bad experience, or to avoid one.

"My finished basement started getting damp after a year."

Moisture is the number one enemy of a finished basement in New England. Before we frame a single wall, we assess drainage, grading, and existing waterproofing.

"I did not realize I needed a permit for a basement."

Finished basements require permits in Massachusetts and New Hampshire when they involve electrical, plumbing, egress windows, or HVAC changes. We handle all permits.

"The ceiling ended up too low and it feels like a cave."

Ceiling height is determined by existing conditions. We plan the layout around these constraints before framing begins, maximizing livable height and designing around obstacles.

At Lumi, we built our process around fixing exactly these problems. Here's how we work.

Why Choose Us

What Makes Lumi Different

Not generic promises. Specific reasons backed by real results.

Moisture Assessment Before We Frame Anything.

We do not start finishing a basement until we know it is dry. We assess existing waterproofing, drainage conditions, and any signs of previous moisture intrusion. If we find an issue, we tell you.

Egress Windows and Code Compliance Handled.

Bedrooms in a basement require egress windows under MA building code. We identify requirements during the design phase and include all code compliance work in our scope.

Maximized Ceiling Height Through Careful Planning.

We route ductwork, pipes, and beams to maximize your ceiling height before framing begins. The result is a space that feels like living space, not a basement.
