Basement Remodeling in Kingfield

What’s included in a Knutson basement remodel

Moisture and envelope — perimeter drainage review, sump pump evaluation and relocation where needed, and a vapor strategy that accounts for different foundation sections built at different times.

Framing and insulation — code-compliant framing and insulation, planned around ceiling height variations common where an addition meets the original bungalow foundation.

Code-compliant egress — cutting a new opening for a legal bedroom into whichever foundation section makes the most sense structurally, with a properly sized window well.

Electrical and HVAC — new circuits and duct runs planned around original construction, not assumed to follow a single consistent layout.

Plumbing — bath rough-in and plumbing evaluated against original drain slope, which can vary between the original bungalow foundation and any later addition.

Custom built-ins — media walls, home office millwork, and bar cabinetry built in our own shop.

Drywall, flooring, trim, paint, and lighting — finish work carried to the same standard as the rest of the house.

Why Kingfield homeowners choose Knutson

A Kingfield bungalow that’s had a rear addition or converted porch layered on over the decades almost never has a perfectly consistent basement underneath it, and treating it like one is how a project runs into surprises mid-framing. We map foundation type, ceiling height, and drain layout section by section before finalizing a design, so the plan we price is the plan we can actually build.

The second reason is what happens when that mapping gets skipped. A sump pump added decades ago in a spot that made sense at the time doesn’t always make sense for a new layout, and moving it correctly is a different scope than assuming the original setup will work. We plan for that up front rather than discovering it during demo.
